In 1960, Virginia Prince, an early prime mover in opening society to Cross-dressers, and Cross-dressers to society, started the publication of Transvestia magazine. It was from this acorn that the mighty Maple of today grew. A serendipitous outcome was that Virginia was able to have the US Postal Service Regulations changed to remove Cross-dressing from being considered pornography, thereby enabling the magazine to be sent through the mail.
