ABSTRACT
In the pornographic literature of transvestism, there is a certain genre of illustration that repeatedly shows cruelly beautiful, monstrous-breasted, stiletto-heeled women, often with phallic-like whips dangling beside their pelves, bullying the poor, pretty, defenseless transvestite. This chapter analyzes such illustrations, using data collected from and about the women of transvestites—their mothers, sisters, girl friends, and wives—in order to show what in this fantasy excites transvestites. The women studied all share the attribute of taking a conscious and intense pleasure in seeing males dressed as females. They so encourage their transvestites that, by teaching these men how to dress and behave as women, they convert them from gross parodies of women into completely normal-looking “women” who pass undetected in open society.
