Item description from seller

Nine works of trans and cross-dressing erotic fiction, circa 1980s to 1990, documenting a specialized adult market for fiction centered on feminization, gender-role reversal, and fantasies of sexual and social roles outside conventional heterosexual gender roles. The narratives range from cross dressing to l transformation. Several titles were issued by Cathy [Charles] Slavik's Empathy Press of Seattle, a mail order publisher specializing in transgender, cross dressing, LGBT erotic fiction. Archive includes nine staple bound fiction booklets, all approximately 45-65 pp.: [1] "Skirted Men. Book 9." Empathy Press, Seattle, 1982. [2] "Skirted Men. Book 24." Empathy Press, Seattle, 1984. [3] "Transvestite Training Camp." Empathy Press, circa 1986. 4] "Men in Skirts. Book 37." Empathy Press, Seattle, 1987. [5] "Guys in Gowns: Transvestite Adventure Stories. Book 81." Empathy Press, Seattle, 1990. [6] Wilson, Joanne. "He's the New Girl in Town." 1990. [7] "Transvestite Sissy." [Empathy Press attribution established externally; no imprint in this copy]. [8] "Queen of the Square Dance." [Publisher unidentified, circa 1980s]. [9] "Vacation Transvestites." [Publisher unidentified]. The booklets preserve evidence of an underground market for queer erotic material and gender play from a period when public representation of trans and gender-nonconforming sexuality remained limited. Empathy Press marketed this fiction alongside a larger catalogue of explorative transgender and cross-dressing books, magazines, films, tapes, contacts, and related adult material, while the unidentified publications demonstrate the same broader commercial appetite for a feminization, cross dressing, and gender transformation narratives. Moderate toning, rubbing, edge wear, and occasional soiling to wrappers; staples intact. Overall good condition. A concentrated group of 1980s fetish fiction documenting the commercial development of cross dressing, progressive feminization, and gender transformation as specialized categories of adult print culture.
