Transvestia

the person who lives all the time as a woman but who still functions sexually as a male when and if opportunity presents itself. Obviously, the total male psycho-sexual effectiveness of such a person would be much lower than in a normal man, thus it is indicated at 50% effective- ness. Point "2" represents the individual whose sex drive is very low to begin with but who, preferring the gender role of a woman adopts this role permanently.

Many homosexuals have but little effeminacy about them and they are represented in the area next to the bisexual where the masculine to feminine ratio is still high.

I. "QUEENS": As the degree of femininity increases to the right individuals appear who express it in the adoption of more and more feminine mannerisms, makeup and at- tire. These are termed "Queens". The right hand boundary of this range is dotted to indicate that there is no termi- nation of this group in increasing feminity. However, this group overlaps with two other types.

J-K." THE "TRANSEXUALS": These are persons who al- though male in anatomy are increasingly feminine in cutlook. They wish to destroy the vestiges of maleness in their bodies through surgery. Thus this type becomes
