The objective of this book is to propose a theory of transvestism
and secondary transsexualism, and to provide information concerning
these behaviors. My view of these topics is much like that of
Benjamin (1966) and nearly all other gender researchers. It holds
that a syndrome of similar behaviors can be identified, ranging
from fetishism through transvestism, transgenderism, and secondary
transsexualism. But de scription is one thing and explanation of
causes is another. I agree with other gender researchers (e. g.,
Green & Money, 1969; Stoller, 1985c) who have concluded that
the causes of transvestism and transsexualism re main largely
unknown. But the fact that we cannot fully explain the origins of
transvestism or secondary transsexualism does not mean that a
comprehensive theory is impossible. Indeed, excellent theoretical
statements have been proposed concerning each of these topics (Ban
croft, 1972; Buckner, 1970; Buhrich & McConaghy, 1977a; Money
& Ehrhardt, 1972; Ovesey & Person, 1973, 1976; Person &
Ovesey, 1974a, b; Stoller, 1968a, 1974, 1985c). It is with
considerable respect, therefore, that we acknowledge both the
strong shoulders on which we stand, and also the more practical
fact that we have drawn heavily upon the many contributions of
these researchers. The approach I have adopted has the same
scientific difficulties that confronted all of these previous
workers."
