          "text": "Transexualism. Where the compulsive urge reaches beyond female vestments, and becomes an urge for gender (\"sex\") change, transvestism becomes \"transexualism.\" The term is misleading; actually, \"transgenderism\" is meant, because sexuality is not a major factor in primary transvestism. Psychologically, the transexual often differs from the simple cross-dresser; he is conscious at all times of a strong desire to be a woman, and the urge can be truly consuming.",

Where the compulsive urge reaches beyond female vestments, and becomes an urge for gender (\"sex\") change, transvestism becomes \"transexualism.\" The term is misleading; actually, \"transgenderism\" is meant, because sexuality is not a major factor in primary transvestism. Psychologically, the transexual often differs from the simple cross-dresser; he is conscious at all times of a strong desire to be a woman, and the urge can be truly consuming.",
