Transvestism Today

Description:

Summary reads: "An individual who derives pleasure from wearing clothes of the opposite sex is called a 'transvestite.' When a man wears female clothing, complete with bloomers, brassiere, slip and dress, he is scientifically called a transvestite. Today, transvestism is carried out by millions of men in secret because prohibitions set up in Biblical times are still in effect."
