I wrote the following after the November 8, 2016 after election and before Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017. Rather than publish it immediately, I decided to withhold it for six or seven months to see how my predictions held up. Pretty well, I think.

Sheila Jeffreys’ work, while essentially mirroring that of Raymond, doesn’t sound quite so bizarre. She is a far better writer than Raymond, and as such might have written a far more insidious and dangerous book. I don’t know that. I have only skimmed the work.

posted by Dallas
In the early 1960s small groups of crossdressers were meeting clandestinely on the East and West coasts of the United States. In Los Angeles they gathered in the living room of early activist Virginia Prince. In New York they drove to the Catskills with the trunks of their cars filled with female attire. Their destination: The Chevalier d’Eon Resort, which would soon be renamed Casa Susanna.
