psychological variable. The depth or "Z" axis is the social variable (gender). Thus the following lines and points of interest appear.

1-2 and 4-3 might be called the Kinsey lines since it is along them that his famous six points would be charted. They are the hetero- homosexual axes.

1-4 is the intersexual or hermaphroditic line along which various chromosomal and anatomical conditions would be plotted.

1-5 and 8-4 are the gender axes. The battle for women's liberation proceeds along the line in the direction of 8 towards 4. Men's liberation moves along 1 to 5.

5-8 and 3-2 are the transexual axes, the former male to female, the latter male to female.

2-8 is the diagonal connecting the heterosexual points and 1-7 the homosexual points.

Since there are mid points of half way stations on all three axes it is interesting that this graph clearly distinguishes Point A the herma- phroditic or anatomical midpoint from Points B and C which are the bisexual points and from Points D and E which may be termed the an- drogenous midpoints i.e., persons manifesting equal degrees of masculinity and femininity.

It is my firm belief that the ideal state for mankind would be to be bisexual, i.e., to have no compulsions forcing you to be heterosexual and conversely to have no brass bound inhibitions preventing you from enjoying an erotic experience with the same sex. That may be a little hard for some of you to take and on an actual experience basis it is hard for me to take too since I am compulsorily heterosexual as far as actual experience goes. But intellectually I can see that it would be more desireable for everyone male and female to be simply "sexual" and not hung up on either the hetero or the homo trips. Such conditions are an anachronism in today's world. If one would be that way in an accepting world it would naturally follow that the extremes of masculinity and femininity would be wiped out, too. Therefore points F and G or halfway on both the choice and gender scales would be the ideal position for human society.

Now a word about the position of transexuals on this chart. As XY
