222 THE GLANDS REGULATING PERSONALITY 



prived of their testes and of testes into females deprived of their 

 ovaries have demonstrated, the removal of the interstitial cells 

 of one sex enormously in arousing the opposite sex traits 



that have been latent, homosexuality. In a thyino-centric, ten- 

 dencies to homosexuality and masochism appear. And so all the 

 remarkable after-effects of those processes that the Freudians 

 have so lovingly traced: the father complex in men, the inferiority 

 complex, and the feminoid complex in general. 



The feminoid complex introduces again the character of the 

 functional hermaphrodite, the mixed male- female. The sex index 

 will certainly come in time as a measurement of sexuality. But 

 until then some more available classification of sex tendency is 

 necessary. Including sex intergrades, one may divide sex types 

 into six classes: male, mate-female, male-female, female, fcmale- 

 male, and female-mate. The sex intergrades, the four hyphenated 

 classes, nearly all have some degree of persistent thymus. If its 

 influence is partial, the emphasis is before the hyphen, upon the 

 ostensible. If its influence is unchecked, the emphasis is after 

 the hyphen upon the apparently latent sex. The sex difficulties 

 produced in these people by the conflict between their conscious 

 >» x and their sub-conscious sex, the sex duel in the same mind, 

 Siamese twins pulling in diametrically opposite directions, 

 comprehensible only from the viewpoint of the internal i 

 tions. 



Homosexuality, in one form or another, frank or eoncc 

 haunts the thymo-centric and spoils his life. The persisteir 

 mus, like a vindictive Elo Iks the footsteps of its victim, 



its possessor. He wishes to live, according to 

 lessly rigid expectations, for viiilit I thy- 



mus condition forces him also to live for femininity and mi
