Jesus christ, gay people were cringe back then. Thanks for the link! I've only seen text excerpts until now. Some passages are unclear because of all the homosexual male=feminine rhetoric so common back then, but there are no mentions of anyone who believed himself to be a woman, only drag queens. Side-note: I'm curious where Ginsberg came up with that 10% number.

Probably from the Kinsey report.

And Kinsey basically ignored his own data and made the 10% number up.
