Transvestia

The author equates this with conditions of up-bring- ing, a highly controvesial matter.

9- Social sex is what society expects of the indivi- dual, and is usually based on that 2-second examin- ation at birth. (We would class 8 and 9 as "genderal" rather than "sexual" in nature.)

It is at this point that the author makes his sole reference to transvestism; while it has shown no definite correlation with biology, he has seen cases where he feels such factors might be operative. While he does not cite any of the neurological art- icles to which I have referred in the past, he seems to be thinking along the same lines. On the physi- cal side, most of us who know a lot of TVs have come to feel, I think, that many but not all show some trace of non-male about us; in some the bust, others the hips, failure to develop baldness or even more subtle things and this without taking hormones. This was cited by Benjamin for his transsexuals.

And now that you've seen the whole show, girls, aren't you glad to be JUST transvestites? We have our problems, but when I think of the biological roulette-wheel that I came out of, I feel I was plenty lucky only to wind up with two heads!
