Of course, the term transvestism , when applied to people, refers primarily the wearing clothing of the opposite sex (and all of the attendant social and cultural repercussions). In its zoological usage, however, it simply refers to physical or behavioral attributes that are typical of the opposite sex in that species. For scientific use of this term, see the references in the notes for this section, as well as Weinrich, J. D. (1980) “Homosexual Behavior in Animals: (A New Review of Observations from the Wild, and Their Relationship to Human Sexuality,” in R. Forleo and W. Pasini, eds., Medical Sexology: The Third International Congress, pp. 288-95. (Littleton, Mass.: PSG Publishing).
