A propos de cet article

216 Pages. Light maroon cloth with a maroon quarter-spine with light maroon lettering on the spine. Did J. Edgar Hoover go by the name Muriel when he cross-dressed? Is transvestism a plot by the male establishment to destroy feminism? Did you know that there are eleven different types of cross-dressers? Cross-dressing has become a very fashionable subject these days, and in this book the author provides the definitive text in language that is both witty and fiercely intelligent. J. J. Allen, a longtime cross-dresser and past president of Powder Puffs of California, one of the world's largest cross-dresser support groups, provides an insider's view of a world most of us have seen only on talk shows, yet is more widespread and complex than the public realizes. The author details the intricacies of transsexual surgery, and takes the reader on a tour of the underground sexual scene in Los Angeles, behind the closed doors of the secretive clubs and societies and into the psyche, sexuality, and social life of male cross-dressers. Unlike any other book ever written on the subject, will stir controversy due to the forthright manner in which the author covers his topic. Contents in Nine Chapters: The Nine Reasons Men Cross-Dress, Eleven Different Types of Cross-Dressers, The Realm of Fetishism, Cosmetic Cross-Dressers, Full-Time and Chemical Cross-Dressers, Can a Man Become a Woman, The Black Lace Prison, A Day in the Life of the Transgender Community, and solving the Riddle of This Great Passion.
