My approach to discussing the question of I'm going to maintain today that trapped in this body of the wrong gender, in "vviui( is homosexuality9" is going to be in homosexuality is certainly not an illness, it such a way that they cannot live out the way the negative, mainly because I'm not .sure is certainly not capable of being described they actually feel. But you really cannot call there is any sort of cogent answer that as a psychological category, and, since I am this individual homosexual, in the sense anyone can give to the question of "what is a psychologist, most of what I have to say is that you have a man who has a male sex- homosexuality?7' in the positive. I think going to peel off from that particular ob- object requirement. What you have in every everyone entertains, either implicitly or servation.

These are the terms because they are psychologically female, than give you a nice definite account (and I "homosexual," the term "transexual," and they wish to have a male partner. And it's couldn't give you a definite account of what the term "transvestite."

And yet in my ex- perience, I have found that there is a great deal more heterosexual unions which take place between teachers and children in the schools than there are homosexual. Frankly, I think homosexuals have learned to be so wary that they are usually pretty darn careful about this sort of a thing. There was the old sort of idea that homosexuals had no impluse control. Homosexuals!, however, are generally quite well controlled in their impulses.
