I grew up in the same era; although I knew of Christine Jorgensen, and of gay people, I didn't really know about any other crossdressers but me. The only other guys I knew about who dressed up as girls were all gay (sometimes I used to go to work with my dad and we had deliveries to Greenwich Village in NYC a lot, so I was exposed to the gay culture existance very early on). So I used to wonder how many other guys were living with the same secret that I had.
