Yeah I saw some videos of her trying to dress up as a man in some presentation video about an electronic instrument and it just felt so out of place. She's definitely a woman.

This seems nuts but it's true. She had privately transitioned but hadn't yet come out in 1970, and had to make some public appearances wearing awkward fake sideburns (and maybe a short-haired wig?) to pose as a man. More info here on Pink News.
