“This book relates to a phenomenon that has been a part of society since there was a society-Transvestism. But unfortunately society (even today) has been slow to learn about transvestism because it has invariably, due to prejudice and lack of understanding, confused it with other behavioral patterns. Many people have therefore suffered greatly and unnecessarily. I have tried to be as unobtrusive as possible present- ing facts, figures and opinions about transvestism gathered from numerous sources so that you the reader will have a better understanding and increased aware- ness as to the complexities of human nature. It is hoped that this small book will sooner or later come into the hands of someone who was to contend with this phenomenon either as a concerned bystander such as a parent or a wife or possibly a practicing transvestite. If this book can help any of these people achieve any degree of understanding and consideration. it will have served its purpose.” – Charles Slavik
