Cross dressing, sex, and gender

Oleh Vern L. Bullough,Bonnie Bullough

Sekilas isi buku

In any society, the perception of femininity and masculinity is not necessarily
dependent on female or male genitalia. Cross dressing, gender impersonation, and
long-term masquerades of the opposite sex are commonplace throughout history. In
contemporary American culture, the behavior occurs most often among male
heterosexuals and homosexuals, sometimes for erotic pleasure, sometimes not. In
the past, however, cross dressing was for the most part practiced more often by
women than men. Although males often burlesqued women and gave comic
impersonations of them, they rarely attempted a change of public gender until the
twentieth century. This phenomenon, according to Vern L. Bullough and Bonnie
Bullough, has implications for any understanding of the changing relationships
between the sexes in the twentieth century. In most Western societies, being a man
and demonstrating masculinity is more highly prized than being a woman and
displaying femininity. Some non-Western societies, however, are more tolerant and
even encourage men to behave like women and women to act like men.Cross
Dressing, Sex, and Gendernot only surveys cross dressing and gender impersonation
throughout history and in a variety of cultures but also examines the medical,
biological, psychological, and sociological findings that have been presented in the
modern scientific literature. This volume offers the results of the authors' research into
contemporary gender issues and the search for explanations. After examining the
various current theories regarding cross dressing and gender impersonation, the
Bulloughs offer their own theory. This book, widely deemed a classic in its field, is the
culmination of thirty years of research by the Bulloughs into gender impersonation
and cross dressing. Their groundbreaking findings will be of interest to anyone
involved in the debate over nature versus nurture, and have implications not only for
scholars in the various social sciences and sex and gender studies, but for educators,
nurses, physicians, feminists, gays, lesbians, and general readers. This work will be
of more personal interest to anyone who identifies as a transvestite or transsexual or
who has been classified by medical and psychiatric professionals as suffering from
gender dysphoria.Cross Dressing, Sex, and Gendercovers a wide range of cultures
and periods. As the first comprehensive attempt to examine the phenomenon of cross
dressing, it will be of interest to students and scholars of social history, sociology,
nursing, and women's studies.

Halaman 50 - Jerome, for example, stated that as long as woman is for birth and children, she is
different from man as body is from soul. But when she wishes to serve Christ more than the
world, then she will cease to be a woman and will be called man.17 A somewhat similar
statement is found in St. Ambrose: She who does not believe is a woman and should be
designated by the name of her sex, whereas she who believes progresses to perfect manhood, to
the measure of the adulthood of Christ.
