They see their women friends frequently and are
as eager as the next man to top off an evening on
~ the town with normal sexual intercourse.

But on the nights when they stay home they return
from their offices and immediately change into
women’s clothes. Generally they have secret closets
stocked with stunning feminine wearing apparel,
complete in all the details, lovely silk stockings,
panties, bra, slips, lingerie, high heeled shoes.

They spend hours assembling their wardrobe.
Long sessions are spent before make-up mirrors to
create the illusion of women. For the rest of the
_evening, they simply sit around watching TV, read-
ing, spending a tired business man’s evening in his
own domain.

The only difference is thelr apparel. And their
frequent trips to the full length mirror, standard
equipment in the homes of transvestites, to see that
their feminine charms are intact.

If they are fortunate they may know other males
with the same complex. Often parties are arranged
or one or two will come to dinner, changing, much
as they do at drag parties, at the host’s home and
changing again, before leaving. ' |

There is no sexual activity. That is not part of the ¥
abnormality.
