Reply To: Crossdressing information before the internet.

[Peggy Sue Williams]

I began researching and reading  about transvestism (crossdressing) in the 1960s at university libraries.  I think sometime in the mid 1970s I recall seeing ads in Penthouse magazine from Tri-ESS, in addition to articles and letters from crossdressers.  During the 1970s, I was stationed overseas, serving in the US Navy, and did not respond to the Tri-ESS ads, but in 1980, I was assigned to shore duty in Norfolk, Virginia and wrote to Tri-ESS for information.  Tri-ESS  referred me to a local chapter in Norfolk, Virginia.

By the late 80s, the information highway was upon us, and we soon learned we were not alone in our desire to crossdress.
