Transvestia (2 risultati)

Virginia Prince's Transvestia periodical archive from 1972, documenting the magazine's mature Los Angeles Chevalier Publications format as a sustained print forum for cross dressing and trans feminine readers during a period of police scrutiny, medical pathologization, family secrecy, and postal caution. Edited by Prince across the four issues, the group preserves recurring departments including "Letters to the Editor," "Virgin Views," fiction, personal narratives, historical essays, and practical or cultural articles. The sequence captures the magazine's use of serialized community discourse, reader experience, and Prince's Full Personality Expression vocabulary to define cross dressing in terms legible to its largely heterosexual readership before the later editorial succession of Carol Beecroft.
