Earl Lind, a self-described “androgyne” and “fairy” in New York who also used the names Ralph Werther and Jennie June, and who voluntarily underwent castration, published two autobiographical works, Autobiography of an Androgyne (1918) and The Female Impersonators (1922). Both were intended to “help the suffering androgyne.” The books’ publisher, Dr. Alfred Herzog, likewise said he brought them into print because “androgynism was not sufficiently understood” and that “therefore androgynes were unjustly made to suffer.”
