Transvestites fight to take back their name
Residents of Transvest (an island in the Black Sea just off the coast of Hungary) have mounted a legal challenge to stop what they perceive as a smear against their proud heritage.
"I'm a Transvestite and proud of it," said Hadik Tivadar, Mayor of Transvest. "My father was a Transvestite, and so was his father. They never wore an item of feminine clothing in their life! But these men who dress up as woman and call themselves transvestites, they degrade our good name!"
The use of the word transvestite as a label for men who dress up in women's clothing dates back to the 7th Century BC, when Transvest was the home of crossdressing poet ZrÃnyi SissÃ. He wrote of his love of putting on ladies' things, and the name Transvestite became synonymous with the practice.
Associations with crossdressing isn't just troubling the mayor. In Llády (the capital of Transvest) the Headmaster of the local boys school is also up in arms.
"When I go to international headmaster conventions and tell them I look after the Llády Boys School, I'm laughed at!" he said.
A spokesperson from the neighbouring island of Räving Bénder was unavailable for comment.

I must admit, I liked her nightie.

This coincides with news from Anglian water that high residual traces of LSD have been found in the water table of West Norfolk.
Yeah. There's always one person who gets the name tarred for generations. Our local postie, Alf Hitler has the same problem. :)
There was a blind prophet from Thebes,
Who Hera decided to tease,
By swapping his gender,
He succumbed to suspenders,
fishnets, a thong and panties.
NH: That's just what the pope said to Gallileo!
other folks have to live in Chicken(alaska), or on Dildo Island (canada).
They could be wankers! I'm guessing thats what you call someone who lives at the base of the wank (a mountain in germany).
Some Swindonians are similally embarrased about their town name.
