There's a very thorough article about the history and growth of the gothic movement called Undead Undead Undead that appeared in Alternative Press in November of 1994. This article is posted in the News Articles section.
Two musicians most often credited as the "Grandfather" and "Grandmother" of Goth: Peter Murphy (formerly of Bauhaus, now doing solo work) and Siouxsie Sioux (formerly of Siouxsie and the Banshees, now with The Creatures). Bauhaus released their first single in 1979. Siouxsie and the Banshees first formed in a haphazard fashion in 1976 and released their first single in 1978. The statement is often made that Sioux was the one who coined the term "gothic" when she mentioned it was the new direction the band was taking. Entranced: the Siouxsie and the Banshees Story suggests that the music press, not Sioux, were the ones who tagged Siouxsie and the Banshees with the label "gothic."
Unlike it's frivolous name, this book is actually a serious look at the nature of transsexuality: what it is, why it is, and how sex reassignment is accomplished, both surgically and socially. You may be surprised to learn that one out of ten adults in this country believe themselves to be transgendered to some degree.
What does it mean to be transgendered and how does that relate to being transsexual? Before we can define transgenderism and transsexuality, we must first be able to define gender and sexuality without the "trans".
Surprisingly, although most everyone has a good feel for what these terms mean, hardly anyone has a good understanding of them. Before we try to describe the nature and process of sex change then, let us take a brief moment to examine human sexuality in general.
When taking male hormones (generally some form of testosterone) you are changing your hormonal morphology to that of a physiological male, so you adopt all the possible health risks that ordinary males have - ie. an earlier risk of heart attack, high blood pressure etc. However you do cut your risks of developing women’s diseases such as breast cancer, and thrombosis etc. So just when you thought life was getting better, healthy living is back in fashion!!!:-
