It would be interesting to learn. Presumably there was higher overhead pre-Internet, but that also meant there was more of a barrier to enter into the industry. I suspect that the apparent boom of adult-onset transwomen is largely due to the men who would have been "just" private crossdressers thirty years ago looking around and realizing they can coom in public and get applause. But it's not like you can look back in an almanac and get accurate information of what percentage of dudes were spankin' it in panties in 1915.I'm curious how big the market was to support those catalogs
I found the catalog name earlier; it was Suddenly Fem, now DBA En Femme.
Here's an interesting press release from 2013, announcing their standalone webpage. (archive) This seemed a little late to me, but it turns out they used to own crossdresser.com and were splitting the fashion off separately in 2013. So much early Internet (and also business) history is already proving ephemeral.
