Dangerous Minds - A mini-archive of cross-dressing history

Vintage glam from 60s Kansas
One of the few websites that I regularly visit is the estimable Dangerous Minds, a treasure trove of music, film and other cultural ephemera. What has always impressed me is their regular feature of transgender related articles so I thought it might be worth listing some of those I've enjoyed on the off-chance that you're lacking a little something to peruse of an evening

So for a by no-means comprehensive listing, feast your eyes on these...
