Abstract
Item is a booklet with information for families of transsexuals (preferred term: transgendered persons) and children with gender identity disturbances. The publication was created by the Janus Information Facility with the financial support of the Erickson Educational Foundation (EEF). Founded in 1964 by American mechanical engineer, businessman, philanthropist, and trans man Reed Erickson, EEF helped to support, both through direct financial contributions and through contributions of human and material resources, almost every aspect of work being done in the 1960s and 1970s in the field of transsexualism in the US and, to a lesser degree, in other countries.
