transvestite

“Each position will be occupied by the best, most capable person, be it a man, a woman, a transvestite or anything else.”

Jacquard, a 35-year-old father of three, came prepared with statistics and an argument against what he called “transvestite story hour,” using a term many now consider offensive.

The actor made his nightly entrance at the Roxy from the lobby to the stage, belting out the signature tune “Sweet Transvestite.”

The police permits were called "transvestite certificates," and they exempted a person from the laws against cross-dressing.

Most people who held "transvestite certificates," as Toni Simon did, had them revoked or watched helplessly as police refused to honor them.
