The corresponding condition in women was by von Krafft-Ebing termed viraginity.

Von Krafft-Ebing and many other writers have assumed that the characteristics of effemination and of viraginity are displayed in early childhood.

The congenital nature of homosexuality has been assumed more particularly in those cases which are described respectively as effemination and viraginity.

Contrariwise, the girl who is destined in later life to display the characteristics of viraginity will be found frequenting the playground of the boys.

Viraginity is, comparatively, an infrequent occurrence, but under its influence the unfortunate victims are guilty of startling vagaries.
