Quote from this book "Historically, transvestism is as old as our civilisation. It is interesting to note that an illustrious transvestite of the sixteenth century is commemmorated in the term 'sa Majesté', used when referring to king or emperor. 'Sa Majesté is of feminine gender and was used, initially, to please King Henry III of France, who wishes to be considered a woman. His private life is somewhat of a mystery, though apparently he was not homosexual in the true sense of the word. In fac, his marriage with Louise de Lorraine was a complete success. However, his transvestism certainly went beyond the usual bounds of discretion. In February 1577 he appeared before the Deputies dressed as a woman, with a long pearl necklace and low-cut dress and carrying a lace fan." second paragraph of Chapter III: Male and Female Transvestism Secondhand booksellers |
