Thanks. Everyone apologizes except the diagnosing PhD psychologist and him. My sons have the originals and I think their passports list him as their father as well. Neddy, as I call him in my memoir, must be exhausted from all the dressing and "woman-facing" for 3 decades! What I think is so odd is that his "true life test" was the preparation to "pass" and hours documented in his journals, sitting on barstools in Greenwich Village, a well-established gay environment. I saw it in his own quirky printing; he sought the gaze of (straight, one assumes) men. So he never really learned whether or not he "passes."
