This little book gives an extraordinarily provoc- ative theory of sexual types, which should be of inter- est to every TV who has given much thought to her re- lationship to the rest of the human race.

No comprehension is shown of the dual mind and personality of the TV; nor is there any clearcut space for the Transex ual in this classification. How- ever, we may hope that this book will stir up further thought which will lead to a complete understanding of our special cases.
