The essay on page 9 reads like it could have been written in 2017.

Within recent months, the media have taken it upon themselves to give the American public a crash course in bi sexuality. Articles on bisexuality have appeared in Time, a news magazine not usually thought of as interested in the sexually esoteric. Other magazines have published reports and appraisals of the apparent growing American interest in bisexuality, and the number of entertainers — and others — who have proclaimed their bisexuality grows daily. . . .


If bisexuality is capturing the public eye, then transvestism is not far behind. They are linked — bisexuality and transvestism — in that both show a mixture of the traditional sexual roles. A bisexual can enjoy sexual relations with a person of either sex, while a transvestite wears clothing of either sex — though as a transvestite, he will be into it only when dressed in the clothing of the opposite sex.

The best thing about She-Male is Kim Christy. Cute, curvaceous, flirty and provocative, she's a skillful poser who understands how photography presents her instrument.


While title and text pretend the magazine-shaped book addresses subject matter, photos show transsexual Kim in multiple sexual permutations and solo shots. Introductory prose marvels that the main character of the volume is both transsexual and bi-sexual. The total suggests a fun, hedonistic lifestyle with multiple partners of varied orientations.


Pictures show a young, feminine body with tapering limbs and budding breasts. Framed by flowing blond hair, the spectrum of attitudes expressed on her face convinces us we're looking at a pretty pin-up model. But continuously exposed male genitalia work as visual counterpoint to the shapely female figure and insist that we acknowledge solid evidence of gender duality.


The first set shows Kim strutting her stuff on Hollywood Boulevard. At her apartment, she poses on the bed in a negligee then on sofa in a brief blouse or a string of pearls.


On eight pages, she shows off in studded collar, six-strap garter belt, sheer stockings, long gloves, spike-heeled pumps, and a buckled waist-cincher. In a few of these pictures, she holds a cat-o'-nine-tails.


In a lengthy pictorial titled The Three of Us, Kim canoodles with a man and a woman. On the couch, Paul touches and kisses. Later, they're joined by a waitress they meet. Some kisses seem lesbian. Paul's body worship seems heterosexual. Neither roles nor photographs are explicit.


In another picture set, Kim fools around with a cute brunette. In garter belts and nylons, both models kiss lips and feet. When they strip each other out of hosiery, we see living room fondling, bathtub lathering and backyard caresses.


Nearly every magazine has a page total evenly divisible by four. She-Male is a 68-page magazine with two extra pages. The front cover folds out to show the bottom (male) half of Kim.


Tonality of photographs was adjusted, many specks re-touched and shadows reduced. The ebook provides a viewing experience that improves on the paper iteration.


All new scans. Female and male nudity.
