"Is it legal for me to crossdress and walk in public? I live in Pennsylvania and an arrest will destroy me .... but then keeping this inside is doing much the same. What I'm asking is ... If I dress enfem (panties to nails) and just let Patty (my ultra ego) see the world, could she be seeing bars too?"

Mary is formerly associate undergraduate dean at Bentley College, currently teaching there. She has taught rhetoric at the University of Virginia, University of California at Berkely, and San Francisco State University. Her new book is titled "Freud's Traumatic Memory: Reclaiming Seduction Theory and Revisiting Oedipus", and presents a vindication of the so-called "seduction theory," which states that children who are sexually molested or raped by adults may develop both physical and mental symptoms as a result in adulthood. This finding was made by Freud early in his career; then he rejected it in favor of the Oedipus complex, which argued that children desire to have sex with adults. However, in the intervening century, the therapeutic community has confirmed the vaildity of the seduction theory but not the "Oedipus complex."
