00:03:35THE END
00:04:00People.
00:04:03All going somewhere.
00:04:09All with their own thoughts, their own ideas.
00:04:15All with their own personalities.
00:04:22One is wrong because he does right.
00:04:29And one is right because he does wrong.
00:04:39Pull the string.
00:04:43Dance to that which one is created for.
00:05:10A new day is begun.
00:05:21A new life is begun.
00:05:25A new life is ended.
00:05:57Let me see that note.
00:06:05The records will tell the story.
00:06:09I was put in jail recently.
00:06:12Why?
00:06:14Because I, a man, was caught on the street wearing women's clothing.
00:06:19This was my fourth arrest for the same act.
00:06:23In life, I must continue wearing them.
00:06:26Therefore, it would only be a matter of time until my next arrest.
00:06:31This is the only way.
00:06:33Let my body rest in death forever.
00:06:37In the things I cannot wear in life.
00:06:48Inspector Warren is here to see you, Dr. Alton.
00:06:50Oh, yes.
00:06:52Show him in, Ms. Stevens.
00:07:01Inspector?
00:07:02Doctor?
00:07:03Sit down.
00:07:10You're a very busy man, Dr. Alton, I know.
00:07:13I appreciate this time you're giving me.
00:07:17Business or pleasure, Inspector?
00:07:20In a way, business.
00:07:24From policeman to inspector.
00:07:2620 years of it.
00:07:28I guess I've seen everything there is for a policeman to see.
00:07:33Yet I wonder if we ever stop learning.
00:07:36Learning about which we see.
00:07:39Trying to learn more about, uh, an ounce of prevention.
00:07:47I'm a man who thrives on learning.
00:07:51We only have one life to live.
00:07:53We throw that one away.
00:07:55What is there left?
00:08:00Doctor?
00:08:02I'm hoping to, uh, learn something from you.
00:08:06And with that knowledge, maybe save some human from a fate which I just witnessed a few days ago.
00:08:13A four-time loser.
00:08:15This type of case comes to me as well as yourself, many times during the course of one month.
00:08:21The suicide?
00:08:23The suicide.
00:08:25Most of us have our idiosyncrasies.
00:08:28This fellow's was quite pronounced.
00:08:30Yes, but I wonder if it rated the death warrant it received.
00:08:35I don't think so.
00:08:36Well, that's why I'm here today, Doctor.
00:08:39What do we do about it?
00:08:41I've always heard you to be a hard-hearted policeman, Inspector.
00:08:45Hmm. Isn't that what's thought of most policemen?
00:08:48The laws are written.
00:08:49The policeman is hired to see that those laws are enforced.
00:08:53We have a job to do.
00:08:55As in most jobs, there's always somebody who doesn't want that job to be done.
00:09:00In most factories today, the employer has put up suggestion boxes.
00:09:04Even the employer needs advice once in a while.
00:09:08I think in the case that we're referring to, I need advice.
00:09:13Maybe it shouldn't have happened as it did.
00:09:15But it did.
00:09:17Perhaps the next time we can prevent it.
00:09:21Let's get our story straight.
00:09:22You're referring to the suicide of the transvestite?
00:09:26If that's the word you men of medical science use for a man who wears woman's clothing.
00:09:31Yes.
00:09:32Yes, in cold, technical language, that's the word.
00:09:35As unfriendly and as vicious as it may sound.
00:09:38However, in actuality, it's not an unfriendly word.
00:09:41Nor is it vicious when you know the people to whom it pertains.
00:09:44Would the sex operation do these people any good?
00:09:47I understand you were quite prominent in the case that hit the headlines a few weeks ago.
00:09:51In some cases, yes.
00:09:53Others, no.
00:09:55Well, the papers certainly had a field day with that one.
00:09:58Strange as it may seem, even though it was a field day, as you so aptly put it, it's not
00:10:02a new story.
00:10:04Sex change has been performed many times.
00:10:07Those whose sex can be changed, they're the easy ones.
00:10:10But what of those who so desperately want to be of the opposite sex, yet can't change their sex?
00:10:16Such as was the case with Patrick, Patricia, the suicide.
00:10:20I'd like to understand this, Doctor, as best you can tell me.
00:10:24You can only fully understand the sex change by taking two entirely different cases.
00:10:30Two men with exactly the same background, from childhood to manhood and on to their own decisions and destinations.
00:10:36I'd like to hear the story to the fullest.
00:10:39Only the infinity of the depths of a man's mind can really tell the story.
00:10:56Dr. Martin.
00:11:00A young man, though he is, speaks the words of the all-wise.
00:11:10No one can really tell the story.
00:11:13Mistakes are made.
00:11:18But there is no mistaking the thoughts in a man's mind.
00:11:29The story is begun.
00:11:56One might say, there, but for the grace of God go I.
00:12:04Why is the modern world shocked by this headline?
00:12:08Why?
00:12:10Once, not so very long ago, the people of the world were saying...
00:12:15Airplanes.
00:12:16Why, it's against the Creator's will.
00:12:19If the Creator wanted us to fly, he'd have given us wings.
00:12:25But we fly.
00:12:27Maybe some of you may still remember an even sillier remark.
00:12:31Automobiles?
00:12:32Bah.
00:12:33They scare the hosses.
00:12:35If the Creator had meant for us to roll around the countryside, we'd have been born with wheels.
00:12:41Silly?
00:12:43Certainly.
00:12:45We were not born with wings.
00:12:47We were not born with wheels.
00:12:49But, in the modern world of today, it's an accepted fact that we must have them.
00:12:54So, we have corrected that which nature has not given us.
00:12:58Strangely enough, nature has given us all these things.
00:13:02We just had to learn how to put nature's elements together for our use, that's all.
00:13:06Yet, the world is shocked by a sex change.
00:13:10If the Creator had wanted us to fly, he'd have given us wings.
00:13:16If the Creator had meant us to roll around the countryside, we'd have been born with wheels.
00:13:21If the Creator had meant us to be boys, we certainly would have been born boys.
00:13:28If the Creator had meant us to be born girls, we certainly would have been born girls.
00:13:34Are we sure?
00:13:38Nature makes mistakes. It's proven every day.
00:13:41This person is a transvestite, a man who is more comfortable wearing girls' clothes.
00:13:47The term transvestite is the name given by medical science to those persons who wear the clothing of the opposite
00:13:53sex.
00:13:54Many a transvestite actually wishes to be the opposite sex.
00:13:59The title of this can only be labeled, Behind Locked Doors.
00:14:04Give this man satin undies, a dress, a sweater and a skirt, or even the lounging outfit he has on,
00:14:11and he's the happiest individual in the world.
00:14:13He can work better, think better, he can play better, and he can be more of a credit to his
00:14:19community and his government because he is happy.
00:14:21These things are his comfort.
00:14:24But why the wig and makeup?
00:14:26He dares to enter the street dressed in the clothes he so much desires to wear.
00:14:31But only if he really appears female.
00:14:34The long hair, the makeup, the clothing, the actual contours of a girl.
00:14:40Most transvestites do not want to change their life, their bodies.
00:14:43Many of them simply want to change the clothing they wear to that as worn by the opposite sex.
00:14:49Glenn is engaged to be married to Barbara, a lovely, intelligent girl.
00:14:53Those fingernails have got to go.
00:14:56You know, I didn't realize they're as long as they are.
00:14:59My goodness, they're almost as long as mine.
00:15:03Maybe even prettier.
00:15:04We'll have to paint them sometime just for the fun of it.
00:15:08We'll trim them.
00:15:09That's for sure.
00:15:12You know, honey, you've invited me to dinner so many times in the last couple of months.
00:15:16It's almost like we were married already.
00:15:19I wish we were, darling.
00:15:21It's been a long year.
00:15:23For both of us.
00:15:24But now, my studies are through, college is concluded, and I'm free at last.
00:15:31Free? For the time being.
00:15:34Huh?
00:15:35Oh.
00:15:37How about joining me for an after-dinner drink?
00:15:41The living room?
00:15:42Mm-hmm.
00:15:47Modern man is a hard-working human.
00:15:50Throughout the day, his mind and his muscles are busy at building the modern world and its business administration.
00:15:56His clothing is rough, coarse, starched, according to the specifications of his accepted job.
00:16:04At home, what does modern man have to look forward to for his body comfort?
00:16:10The things provided for his home.
00:16:13A wool or flannel robe.
00:16:15His feet encased in the same thick, tight-fitting leather that his shoes are made of.
00:16:20These are the things provided for his home comfort.
00:16:24It doesn't look so comfortable, does it?
00:16:27And get the hat.
00:16:29Better still, get the receding hairline.
00:16:32Men's hats are so tight, they cut off the blood flow to the head, thus cutting off the growth of
00:16:36hair.
00:16:37Seven out of ten men wear a hat, so the advertisements say.
00:16:42Seven out of ten men are bald.
00:16:44But what about the ladies?
00:16:47Yes, modern woman is a hard-working individual also.
00:16:52But, when modern woman's day of work is done, that which is designed for her home comfort is comfort.
00:17:00Hats that give no obstruction to the blood flow.
00:17:03Hats that do not crush the hair.
00:17:05Interesting thought, isn't it?
00:17:08Just for comparison, let's go native.
00:17:11Back to the animal instinct.
00:17:14There, in the lesser, civilized part of the world,
00:17:17it's the male who adorns himself with the fancy objects such as paints, frills, and masks.
00:17:23The true instinct.
00:17:25The animal instinct.
00:17:26Bird and animal life.
00:17:28Is it not so that it's the male who is the fancy one?
00:17:32Could it be that the male was meant to attract the attention of the female?
00:17:37What's so wrong about that?
00:17:39Where is the animal instinct in modern civilization?
00:17:43Female has the fluff and the finery, as specified by those who design and sell.
00:17:49Little Miss Female, you should feel quite proud of the situation.
00:17:53You, of course, realize that it's predominantly men who design your clothes, your jewelry, your makeup, your hairstyling, your perfume.
00:18:02But life, even though its changes are slow, moves on.
00:18:07There's no law against wearing such apparel on the street, as long as it can be distinguished that man is
00:18:13man and woman is woman.
00:18:16But, what is it that would happen were this individual to appear this way on the street?
00:18:22You're doing it now.
00:18:24You're doing it now.
00:18:25Laughing.
00:18:26Laughing.
00:18:26Yet, it's not a situation to be laughed at.
00:18:30Thus, the strange case of Glenn, who is Glenda, one and the same person.
00:18:35Not half man, half woman.
00:18:37But, nevertheless, man and woman in the same body.
00:18:40Even though, by all outward appearances, Glenn is fully and completely a man.
00:19:01Sister, let me borrow her dress.
00:19:04You want to borrow your sister's dress?
00:19:07What for?
00:19:08I want to wear it to the Halloween party.
00:19:10There are names for boys who go around wearing girls' clothes.
00:19:14Oh, don't be silly, darling.
00:19:16You go ahead and wear your sister's dress, Glenn.
00:19:19You always did look much better as a girl than you do as a man.
00:19:23Glenn did wear the dress to the Halloween party.
00:19:26He even took first prize.
00:19:33Then, one day, it wasn't Halloween any longer.
00:20:01I wish I had the sight into such things to be able to advise you, Sheila.
00:20:08Maybe, maybe, maybe if you took the problem to a doctor.
00:20:11It's Glenn that needs the doctor.
00:20:16But, but when things like this go wrong with someone so close and, and in your own family, it's so
00:20:24hard to believe.
00:20:25It's not really hard to believe.
00:20:27It's just hard for you to accept.
00:20:30Well, of course it's hard for me to accept.
00:20:32Suppose I, I were to come home with Roy or one of my other boyfriends some night, and find Glenn
00:20:38like I did last night.
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:41That would be hard to explain.
00:20:44That's the understatement of the year.
00:20:47Just how does one go about introducing your friends to your brother?
00:20:51When brother's wearing your best sweater and your skirt and makeup to boot.
00:21:05Glenn is not a homosexual.
00:21:08Glenn is a transvestite, but he is not a homosexual.
00:21:12Transvestism is the term given by medical science to those persons who desperately wish to wear the clothing of the
00:21:18opposite sex.
00:21:19Yet, whose sex life in all instances remains quite normal.
00:21:24Would you be surprised to know that this rough, tough individual was wearing pink satin undies under his rough exterior
00:21:31clothing?
00:21:32He is.
00:21:33Then there is your friend, the milkman, who, who knows how to find comfort at home.
00:21:45I can't stand it any longer.
00:21:47He wears all my clothes.
00:21:49Nothing is sacred to him, even my briefs.
00:21:55He has every one of my sweaters stretched out of shape.
00:21:59Of course, he has always replaced them.
00:22:02But then, they didn't last long either.
00:22:08But your honor ruffles on his shirts and shorts.
00:22:14Really.
00:22:15Glenn and all the hundreds of thousands of other Glens across the nation face quite a problem.
00:22:22Glenn is engaged to be married to Barbara, a lovely, intelligent girl.
00:22:27The problem?
00:22:28Glenda.
00:22:30Glenn's other self.
00:22:31The girl that he himself is.
00:22:34His other individual personality.
00:22:38You look tired tonight, Glenn.
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41I guess I am.
00:22:42It's been a long day.
00:22:44Have you seen the paper yet?
00:22:46No one.
00:22:47It's headline.
00:22:48A man had his sex changed to a woman.
00:22:51Isn't that a strange case?
00:22:53I wonder how some people's mind works.
00:22:57Well, some people aren't happy the way they are.
00:23:00I suppose so, but to change one's sex, that's a pretty drastic step to take.
00:23:08If it's the only way, I'm for it.
00:23:13I wonder what I would do in a case like that, if I were in the mental turmoil that that
00:23:18person went through.
00:23:20Or if I suddenly realized that something was mentally wrong with you.
00:23:24Well, it's hard to visualize.
00:23:27Here we are, two perfectly normal people, about to be married and lead a normal life together.
00:23:34And there's this poor fellow who never could have been happy if it wasn't for modern medical science.
00:23:42Our fourth term in psychology explains a lot of the facts, but I'm afraid the end of study is only
00:23:48the beginning of reality.
00:23:51Glenn's problem is a deep one, but he must tell her soon.
00:23:55She's begun to notice things.
00:23:57His nails.
00:23:58His eyes when he looks into a lady's store window.
00:24:01So many of the little things that are hard to hide.
00:24:04Soon she will realize.
00:24:08Then there was the time Barbara was wearing the sweater Glenn had always wanted to feel on his own body.
00:24:13It was becoming an obsession to him.
00:24:15He must have it.
00:24:17What's the matter, Glenn darling?
00:24:20I guess I was daydreaming.
00:24:23Something seems to be troubling you.
00:24:25Why don't you tell me?
00:24:27It's nothing.
00:24:29Once, long ago, just after we started going steady together.
00:24:34We promised we'd never lie to each other.
00:24:37Are we gonna start now, just because we're engaged to be married?
00:24:41It's just that...
00:24:43Oh, Barbara, it's nothing that little sleep won't cure.
00:24:46It's been an awful long day.
00:24:48It's more than that.
00:24:50Come on, tell me, darling.
00:24:52Who knows? Maybe I can help.
00:24:54That's just it, you could.
00:24:56Then something is troubling you.
00:24:59Yes.
00:25:00Do I have a right to know?
00:25:02You have a right to know.
00:25:03But let's just say for the moment that...
00:25:06I'm afraid to tell you.
00:25:08I'm afraid I'd lose you.
00:25:11Nothing could be as bad as all that.
00:25:13I love you, and you love me.
00:25:16And nothing in the world can change that.
00:25:19I hope not.
00:25:21I really hope not.
00:25:25Glenn?
00:25:27Is it another woman?
00:25:34Hold the strength!
00:25:36Hold the strength!
00:25:39A mistake is made.
00:25:47A story must be told.
00:25:52Always the same.
00:25:54He's not had the nerve to tell her.
00:25:56But he must soon come to some conclusion or forget the marriage.
00:26:00Should he tell Barbara of his Glenda now, before the wedding,
00:26:03or hit her between the eyes with it after,
00:26:06when it might be too late for either of them?
00:26:12The world is a strange place to live in.
00:26:15All those cars, all going someplace,
00:26:18all caring humans which are carrying out their lives.
00:26:24The world is shocked by a person who changed his sex.
00:26:28Glenda is shocked also, but by another reason.
00:26:32Someone like her had the nerve to do something factual about their situation.
00:26:37There's so many problems for Glenn and all the other Glens.
00:26:41Perhaps the fear of discovery of the underthings they wear beneath their regular outer clothing,
00:26:46or that which they wear during their nightly visit to Morpheus, God of sleep.
00:26:52Thank you very much, and I'm sure she's going to enjoy it very much.
00:26:55If you want to return it, be sure that you bring the sale slip.
00:27:06Can I help you, sir?
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:09Let me see a 90.
00:27:11What size?
00:27:12Twelve.
00:27:14The color and the material?
00:27:17Black and very sheer.
00:27:20Just a minute.
00:27:24Well, we have this here.
00:27:26Would you like that?
00:27:28Something like this?
00:27:29As lace?
00:27:30Yeah.
00:27:32Perhaps he admires the material too long.
00:27:36You can see how sheer the material really is.
00:27:40Yes.
00:27:41You see, it's all pure nylon, and only $21.95.
00:27:46And of course, it will never snag.
00:27:56But Glen and Glenda, and all the Glens and Glendas have an even bigger problem.
00:28:18The homosexual, it is true, at times does adopt the clothing or the makeup of a woman to lure members
00:28:25of his own sex.
00:28:27But this is not so for the transvestite.
00:28:30The transvestite is not interested in those of their own sex.
00:28:34The clothing is not worn to attract the attention of their own sex, but to eliminate themselves from being a
00:28:41member of that sex.
00:28:48Hi, Joe.
00:28:49How are you, Jack?
00:28:50Monday again.
00:28:51You know, I think Monday is about the worst day of the week.
00:28:54A perfectly wonderful weekend, then back to the sweatshops.
00:29:00Too bad we was born to work.
00:29:02Say, did you read about the guy that had his sex changed to a girl?
00:29:06Says he was perfectly normal too.
00:29:08How can a guy be normal and go and do a thing like that to his self?
00:29:13All the same, it must take a lot of guts to pull a stunt like that.
00:29:17That's a problem I don't ever intend to face.
00:29:20Maybe it's a problem we should all face.
00:29:22I don't get you.
00:29:23Just think of the unhappy life.
00:29:25The miserable time this world of ours must have given that poor guy.
00:29:29I still don't get you.
00:29:31Now, here is a guy who wanted to be a girl.
00:29:34Supposing there had been no way to change a sex.
00:29:37You sound as if you're really head up on this thing.
00:29:40I guess I am.
00:29:41Do you realize what would happen if every man in the country that wanted to wear women's clothes
00:29:46or felt like a woman went to their doctors and wanted a sex change?
00:29:49Of course.
00:29:50That's why I say perhaps society should be a little bit more lenient for them.
00:29:55Maybe society should try to understand them as human beings.
00:30:02Another day, Don.
00:30:04Thank goodness.
00:30:05See you tomorrow, Jack.
00:30:10Yeah.
00:30:11So long, Joe.
00:30:13Until tomorrow.
00:30:25Hi, Glenn.
00:30:27Hi, Johnny.
00:30:28Come on in.
00:30:29And hit it right for the kitchen.
00:30:31I can't let that dinner burn.
00:30:33You know, I thought I was going to have to eat alone tonight.
00:30:36Well, you probably will because I've already eaten.
00:30:51What's up?
00:30:52Nothing much.
00:30:54Say, you really look down in the dumps.
00:30:57I guess I've got a problem.
00:30:59Haven't we all?
00:31:01I mean a real problem.
00:31:03One like I've never had to face before.
00:31:06Our whole existence is one big problem after another.
00:31:10I want to get married.
00:31:12You have a problem.
00:31:16When did this all come about?
00:31:19For nearly a year I've been engaged to a very wonderful girl.
00:31:23Now the time is getting very close to the man with the book.
00:31:27I'm scared to death.
00:31:29You love her?
00:31:31Very much.
00:31:32Does she love you?
00:31:34Yes.
00:31:35There's no problem.
00:31:37Marry the girl.
00:31:40Are you forgetting about my other self?
00:31:43You'll have to tell her, of course.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:48I have to tell her.
00:31:51But when?
00:31:53Before?
00:31:56Or after?
00:31:58I think you know the answer to that one yourself.
00:32:02My mind's in a muddle.
00:32:04Like in a big fog.
00:32:08I can't make sense to myself sometimes.
00:32:13I thought I could stop wearing these things.
00:32:15I tried. Honestly, I tried.
00:32:19I haven't had a stitch of the mind for nearly two weeks until tonight.
00:32:25Then I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:32:28I had to put the moniker out of my mind.
00:32:34I'm afraid I'll lose her.
00:32:38I don't want that to happen because...
00:32:41I really love her.
00:32:43Okay.
00:32:45Here's a story from fact.
00:32:49Johnny tells his story.
00:32:51He had not too long ago been married himself.
00:32:53He had kept quiet about his transvestite desires in the hopes that the new wife would never discover it.
00:33:00However, one day, the little woman came home unexpectedly an hour early.
00:33:14That marriage ended here.
00:33:18Will your problem be like mine?
00:33:23Most probably it will.
00:33:26Because her love hasn't been built up for such a thing.
00:33:30She, your wife, she will not have been taught enough about the problems to cope with it.
00:33:40Glenn, Glenda must now make her decision.
00:33:45Or forever forget the marriage to Barbara.
00:33:49Glenn, Glenda should consult a competent psychiatrist.
00:33:53But then very few transvestites wish to change their strange desires.
00:33:57This is their life.
00:33:59To take it away from them might do as great a harm as taking away an arm or a leg.
00:34:04Or life itself.
00:34:07Many even carry their transvestite desires to the grave with them.
00:34:14Yes, it is a problem.
00:34:16But Glenda, remember back almost a year ago when Glenn and Barbara accepted each other?
00:34:25Good night.
00:34:27That's the sixth time you've said good night.
00:34:30I guess it is.
00:34:32Look.
00:34:34Come on over here a minute.
00:34:36What is it?
00:34:37Never mind, just sit down.
00:34:45Oh, I was beginning to think you'd never get around to it.
00:34:49Did you mean you will?
00:34:51What do you think?
00:34:59When?
00:35:00I must finish college first.
00:35:03Twenty-seven months to go.
00:35:04Well, that's hardly long enough for you to get a trousseau together.
00:35:08How would you know about such things?
00:35:26Glenn, what's the matter?
00:35:28Huh?
00:35:29All of a sudden you seem a thousand miles off.
00:35:33Yes I, I guess I was, huh?
00:35:37That's a mighty pretty dress you're wearing tonight.
00:35:39I wear my vest to please you.
00:35:42You know, when, when you look at me, you just tie me in knots.
00:35:46I love to tie you in knots.
00:35:50Oh, I'll be so happy when these next few months are over.
00:35:54Some special reason?
00:35:55Of course.
00:35:55Of course.
00:35:56So you can stop kissing me goodbye at the door every night.
00:36:01Yes.
00:36:02So you can hold me close to you always.
00:36:05Yes.
00:36:06Then all you'll have to do is call and close your eyes and feel my lips on yours.
00:36:28Beware, beware, beware of the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep.
00:36:37He eats little boys, puppy duck tails and big fat snails.
00:36:48Beware, they can.
00:36:55Beware.
00:36:56Beware.

00:52:58THOUGHTS
00:53:00THAT'S ABOUT IT
00:53:00DARLING
00:53:02I WANTED TO TELL YOU
00:53:03FOR A LONG LONG TIME
00:53:04BUT JUST COULDN'T
00:53:05BRING MYSELF TO DO IT
00:53:06I'VE BEEN
00:53:06TOO MUCH AFRAID
00:53:08OF LOSING YOU

00:53:47YET
00:54:03Glenn, I don't fully understand this, but maybe together we can work it out.
00:54:34Is that the end of the story?
00:54:35Not quite. I'll get back to it in a minute.
00:54:38Glenn's case is really the lesser advanced type cases.
00:54:42The second case is an extremely advanced one.
00:54:44However, I'll get to that in a moment.
00:54:46First, you must realize that the world over has its own particular problem.
00:54:50Each case must be handled individually according to the person, his past life, and his problem.
00:54:56Did this Glenn have any homosexual tendencies?
00:54:59Absolutely not. It's very seldom that a true transvestite does.
00:55:03And he isn't a hermaphrodite?
00:55:05No more than he's a pseudo-hermaphrodite.
00:55:07Glenn's case was entirely of his mind, brought on by the environment of his early youth.
00:55:11What about their children, Doctor? Would their children become the same way their father is?
00:55:17No. Transvestism is not hereditary.
00:55:20What makes these men want to wear girls' clothes?
00:55:23Many things. But as I've said before, it usually starts in early childhood from one cause or another.
00:55:29Technically, each case has the same beginning, just a different set of circumstances.
00:55:33Are any of them actually cured?
00:55:36Oh, yes. Many, many of them.
00:55:38Once the source of supply is found, it can be stopped.
00:55:41Unless the patient refuses to cut off that source of supply.
00:55:44Then the way I get it, this Glenn and the character he created,
00:55:48much as an author creates a character in a book,
00:55:51was invented as a love object to take the place of the love he never received in his early youth,
00:55:56through lack of it from his parents.
00:55:58The character was created and dressed and lives the life the author designs for him to live,
00:56:04and dies only when the author wants him to die.
00:56:07Correct. Except that for the character, Glenda, to die, the elements must be right.
00:56:12But to enlighten you a little further, there's the second story,
00:56:15that of an extremely advanced case.
00:56:17Let's call this person Alan, Anne.
00:56:21Alan had a mother who wanted a little girl.
00:56:24The father didn't care much one way or the other.
00:56:27Alan did not enter the competitive sports that the other boys of the school did.
00:56:31However, he was an extremely studious boy and always had above-average marks in his subjects.
00:56:37Yet sports, girls' sports, he always was interested in.
00:56:40But he was rejected by the girls and also rejected by the boys.
00:56:45It seems he belonged to neither of them.
00:56:48After school, Alan would go home to find the mother who had always wanted a girl,
00:56:51and the father who didn't care one way or the other.
00:56:54He enjoyed doing the woman's work around the house.
00:56:58Alan was becoming a woman and didn't realize it.
00:57:01A woman in mind only, but the mind rules.
00:57:05Then came the fateful year of 1941.
00:57:09Alan was drafted.
00:57:10He was accepted.
00:57:12In the Army, he successfully passed his vigorous training.
00:57:15He did not like it, but then there were the weekends for his particular diversions.
00:57:20On his weekend passes, he would go to the nearest town where he had a suitcase checked in a public
00:57:24locker.
00:57:28In the suitcase, he had the things he loved to wear,
00:57:31that which made his body appear to be what his mind believed it was.
00:57:37Then the day of embarkation came.
00:57:40But wherever Alan went, the suitcase was sure to go.
00:57:46The End
00:57:46The End
00:57:53THE END
00:58:22THE END
00:58:57Then, as quickly as it had begun, the war was over.
00:59:01Allen came home.
00:59:03Allen had learned all the terms directed at men like himself,
00:59:06but no one had found out his aversion.
00:59:09He was honorably discharged from the service at the end of the war.
00:59:12He had received the silver star and the bronze star for gallantry and action.
00:59:16While he was in an army hospital recuperating from a wound he had received in New Guinea,
00:59:20he learned a very interesting fact.
00:59:22He learned that foreign doctors were doing marvelous work with a sex change.
00:59:26Man to woman, woman to man.
00:59:29Shortly after his separation from service, Allen came to me for advice.
00:59:33There followed many long sessions with my clinical reports and the reports of eminent doctors.
00:59:41It had been found that Allen was really a pseudo-hermaphrodite.
00:59:45A hermaphrodite is one who has the organs of both the male and female in plain sight.
00:59:50A pseudo-hermaphrodite is one who has one perfectly formed organ of either sex
00:59:55and one imperfectly formed one that's difficult to detect.
00:59:59Allen was of the latter.
01:00:05Allen was then given his choice.
01:00:08That which nature had given him was a mistake.
01:00:11It was up to us to correct that mistake one way or the other.
01:00:15Allen had to decide whether he wanted to become a man or she wanted to become a woman.
01:00:20Both were completely possible.
01:00:22Small bone, fair of complexion, his hair thin like a woman's, his body slim, hips slightly girlish.
01:00:31It was easy to see his decision, along with the fact that he had been brought up from early childhood
01:00:36to believe that a woman was the thing to be.
01:00:39Allen decided to become a woman.
01:00:41This, after all the help I could give him, was only the beginning.
01:00:46During the following two years, he was to go through the tortures of the damned.
01:00:50But never was there a whimper from him, because he knew that at the end of it all,
01:00:54he would at last be that which he had always dreamed.
01:00:57Hundreds of hormone shots were injected into various parts of his body.
01:01:02Allen's face was worked on with plastic surgery to smooth out the female elements.
01:01:06Long, tedious hours of work.
01:01:12The big day, or the starting of many big days, for it was to take many.
01:01:17The series of operations are performed slowly and at intervals to prevent any unnecessary shock to the nervous system.
01:01:24Bill, the hormone shots continue.
01:01:28Day after day, week after week, month after month.
01:01:31And even then, when the operation is over, the sex has changed, the shots must continue as long as Allen
01:01:39lives.
01:01:46First, the breasts are brought out.
01:01:48The body of the woman within begins to appear now.
01:01:51cotton, golden, golden, golden.
01:01:56And then, when the modern SYMAC is first.оны
01:02:21.org let it roll.
01:02:40Then comes the major surgery, the removal of the man and the formation of the woman.
01:02:57The End
01:03:47But in time, Alan is Ann.
01:03:50A very happy, lovely young lady that modern medicine and science has created almost as a Frankenstein monster.
01:03:57The newspapers heard of it and hit the story with their usual fullness.
01:04:03The papers had not gotten hold of the story. It would have gone untold, unnoticed as so many others in
01:04:07medical history.
01:04:09The sex change has been performed hundreds of times.
01:04:12However, right here, in this particular sex switch, it's not the end.
01:04:16Acting the woman and being the woman are two entirely different things.
01:04:20Alan had all his life acted the part of the woman.
01:04:23Now he is that woman and must learn how it's done.
01:04:28Ann must learn how to do her own hair.
01:04:30How to make the correct styling for her facial contours.
01:04:37The proper walk must be adopted.
01:04:39A lady is a lady, whatever the case may be.
01:04:43Continuing my own psychiatric treatment, it was my duty now to explain to Ann the duty of a woman in
01:04:48her sex life.
01:04:50Alan, of course, had known the man's, but he was soon to realize he knew very little about a woman's.
01:04:57Yet, through it all, Ann loved every minute of it.
01:05:00Ann was indeed meant to be a woman.
01:05:03And now that the sex change had been completed, Ann was a very happy woman.
01:05:07And a woman who was eager to learn.
01:05:09And now was accepted by society.
01:05:12A woman born at the age of 24.
01:05:15In a world that for 24 years she had seen as a man.
01:05:19But a woman who now would, and was properly instructed in how to accept a woman's world.
01:05:28Thus, this case, which has a happy ending, is due entirely to the corrections made by medical science.
01:05:33I've had several such cases.
01:05:35In fact, in my 20 years of practice, I've been prominent in seven.
01:05:39However, my colleagues have had hundreds.
01:05:41Then you believe that the Glenn of the first story should have the sex change?
01:05:45In Glenn's case, no.
01:05:47No, indeed.
01:05:47Glenn would never be happy with a sex change.
01:05:50The Alan of your story ended happy?
01:05:52I'll tell it to you exactly as I told it to them.
01:05:56Shortly after Glenn told Barbara of his love for girls' clothing, he started treatments with me.
01:06:02On the last treatment, both he and Barbara came to me.
01:06:05I told them the same story of Alan, Ann, as I've told it to you, Inspector.
01:06:10Ann was a pseudo-hermaphrodite.
01:06:12Even though one of the sexes was imperfect, she had the organs and the characteristics of both the male and
01:06:19female.
01:06:20Glenn's case is an entirely different type of case.
01:06:23Remember I said, no matter what the case, it's a different thing.
01:06:27A new problem to be looked into, then solved.
01:06:30A new challenge to the psychoanalysis.
01:06:32Glenn's body holds only one sex, that of the male.
01:06:35In all our talks, I've learned these pertinent facts.
01:06:40Glenn's father had no love for his son.
01:06:43His father wanted Glenn to be a football hero, or a baseball player,
01:06:49so that he could brag to his cronies down at the corner saloon as his cronies bragged to him about
01:06:54their own sons.
01:06:56Thus, the ruse of Glenn's fictitious character.
01:06:59Glenn invented it when he could find no love from his mother and no love from his father.
01:07:04His mother had hated her own father.
01:07:06Glenn reminded her of her father.
01:07:09Therefore, she gave all her affection, love, and attention to her daughter.
01:07:13Glenn then decided also to become a daughter.
01:07:17Glenn, you can kill this fictitious character of yours any time you wish.
01:07:21For your happy ending, it's the only way.
01:07:23Then you think I can kill this second character by transferring her qualities to Barbara.
01:07:30Exactly.
01:07:30But as the author and his character, the elements must be right.
01:07:34It's up to you, Barbara.
01:07:35You must take the place, give the love, and accept the facts that Glenda has always accepted.
01:07:41If you love each other as you now believe you do,
01:07:44well, it'll be a hard job, but you'll enjoy doing the job.
01:07:47Should I let him continue to wear girls' clothing, or should I put my foot down?
01:07:52If you put your foot down, he'd only go behind closed doors.
01:07:55Love is the only answer.
01:07:57Glenda must be transferred to you.
01:07:59Supposing Glenn never gets over wearing girls' clothing.
01:08:02Would it matter to you very much?
01:08:06I love Glenn.
01:08:08I'll do everything I can to make him happy.
01:08:34The end is only the beginning.
01:08:38Time passes.
01:08:40Soon, due to a happily married life,
01:08:42the remembrance of the psychiatric treatments,
01:08:45and Barbara's love and understanding,
01:08:48Glenda begins to disappear forever from Glenn.
01:08:51Glenn has found his mother, his little sister, his wife,
01:08:55and his Glenda all in one lovely package.
01:08:59Thus, Glenn's case has a happy conclusion.
01:09:03Therefore, two entirely different cases,
01:09:05handled in two entirely different ways,
01:09:07have a happy ending.
01:09:09Yeah, those two.
01:09:12But what of the hundreds of other less fortunate Glenns the world over?
01:09:31Yes.
01:09:31Yes.
01:09:44Yes, but what of the others?
01:09:50Less fortunate plans, the world's over.
01:10:01Oh, snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
01:10:33Oh, snips and snails.
01:10:38Oh, snips and snails.
