Men & Women, Women & Men
I run across photos like this from time to time; pictures where the male becomes female and the female becomes male. Usually they're more casual. They've swapped clothes and it has the feel of a drunken dare. Sometimes, however, they're far more elaborate. The man and woman in this image have opposite sex clothing that fits. Perhaps it's from a play, but it was mounted on card stock, is fairly small, and not very good for a publicity still. I'm thinking these two cross-dressed as part of their sex lives. Or, in the nineteenth century, long before anyone had ever heard the word transgender, a man who wanted to be a woman and a woman who wanted to be a man, found each other and this is how they lived behind closed doors.
