EXPRESSION

TRANSVESTIA is published by, for and about Transvestites for the purpose of providing a center about which people interested in the field may gather. Its pages will provide Entertainment for the initiated; Education for those who see evil where none exists; and Expression of opinion both lay and professional. Discussion, sharing ideas and experiences all lead to greater understanding of any facet of human behaviour.

TRANSVESTIA seeks to provide information both to and about Transvestites and Transvestism in order to broaden the under- standing of this form of personality expression, not only among those interested in it, but by friends and relatives who may find themselves indirectly involved.

TRANSVESTI▲ also serves as a means of gathering information 88 well as disseminating it. Medical science has no adequate means of contacting and interviewing enough Transvestites who are re- sonably well adjusted to their problem and not complicated by other psycho-social behaviour patterns to form any well con- sidered opinions about the subject. This magazine has and will continue to provide research material to further the under- standing of Transvestism by psychiatrists, psychologists, 800- iologists, lawyers, jurists and police officials

But unhappiness, loneliness and fear have too long been the lot of the Transvestite. It is to be hoped that TRANSVESTIA can help through knowledge to bring understanding and happiness.
