description: Excerpt from Intermediate Types Among Primitive Folk a Study in Social EvolutionThat between the normal man and the normal woman there exist a great number of intermediate types - types, for instance, in which the body may be perfectly feminine, while the mind and feelings are decidedly masculine, or vice vend - is a thing which only a few years ago was very little under stood. But to-day - thanks to the labours of a number of scientific men - the existence of these types is gen erally recognised and admitted; it is known that the variations in question, whether affecting the body or the mind, are practically always congenital; and that similar variations have existed in consider able abundance in all ages and among all races of the world. Since the Christian era these inter mediate types have been much persecuted in some periods and places, while in others they have been mildly tolerated; but that they might possibly fulfil a positive and useful function of any kind in society is an idea which seems hardly if ever to have been seriously considered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
