By Louis Sullivan, 1985The unique problems and needs of the female-to-male transsexual and crossdresser have largely been Ignored In the literature to date One must plow through volumes of material directed to the male-to-female in order to find a few sentences concerning the female-to- male. When the female-to-male does find something, It will most likely be a few vague sentences here and there or Information not relevant to her situation, especially If she Is a transvestite or transsexual with non-textbook inclinations. Is It because the male-to-female Is more visible, vocal and numerous that he Is granted more notice In the medical world? Possibly. There are an estimated 6,000 transsexuals in the United States, and we are told that every day three Americans change their sex. In the early research and study of transsexualism, only 25% of the transsexuals coming to the attention of the medical world were females. Now the professional community acknowledges the female-to-male makes up an even 50% of the total transsexuals. However, even now, female-to-male transvestites are said to be non-existent. Maybe because they are less valuable and vocal, more closeted and guilt-ridden. This booklet Is compiled to give the attention to the female-to-male so sorely tacking In Information on transvestism and transsexualism.
