He has shown how the homosexualist who does not do because he wills but who does because he must, is exploited by the criminal classes.
In thus lighting the torch and holding it up for us to see what he desires us to see, he also unconsciously lights up himself in all his womanly vanity, showing his pride in the fact that he is different from others; showing his pride in his many conquests; in fact, if I may use the word in a perhaps not quite exact way, giving a psychoanalysis of himself without attempting to do so.
Thus then, while the author offers the Autobiography of an Androgyne as a plain chronological statement of facts slightly covered to hide his identity, I offer it at the same time as a psychological study, well worthy of a careful analysis.
Whether this volume is read from the author's view-point or from mine, only one conclusion can be reached:
Such as he are not to be punished.
October, 1918.
