Some authors base their classification on acciden- tal and irrelevant factors. Thus Pettow divides trans- vestites into three groups, according to their sex and age: 1, men adopting women's garb; 2 women adopting men's garb; and 3 adults adopting the garb of children. Kinsey takes as a criterion for his classification the factor of time only, thus recognizing; 1, "permanent transvestites", who "try to identify with the opposite sex...at all times," and 2. "partial transvestites, who adopt their changed roles only on occasion, as at home in the evening."

Other writers take as a principle of their class- ification the direction of the sexual drive. Thus Moll (74,75) divides transvestism into; 1, hetero-, 2 homo- sexual, 3, non-psycho-sexual, obsessive type, and 4, a type in which the cross-dressing is due to some ult- erior motive ("pseudo-transvestites"). Dukor (27) re- cognizes three groups of transvestites; 1, hetero-, 2, auto-, and 3 homo-sexual. Battig (8) classifies trans- vestites into homo-bi-, hetero-, and auto-sexual, accord- ing to their sexual expression. (((ED. Note: I'm

sure we could classify Drs. into homo, bi, hetero, and auto-sexual too, but would this help us to dis- tinguish an M.D. from a lawyer? Why give a name to a thing to distinguish it from something else and then break it up into divisions which may have noth- ing to do with the subject? If a person is homosex- ually oriented and also likes feminine clothes he is much more properly described as a transvestic homosexual than as a homosexual transvestite, because the most important fact is always the noun, and the lesser attribute the adjective, thus, babtist minis- ter or corporation lawyer if we are discussing minis- ters or lawyers. Likewise if we are discussing kinds of homosexuals we would distinguish the transvestic ones from other kinds.)))

Ellis devides transvestism into two basic groups: "One...in which the inversion is mainly confined to the sphere of clothing, and another...in which...the sub-
