Funny thing is, J. Edgar Hoover may have been paranoid about gays and perverts but he himself was a gay and closet crossdresser. Check out this astonishing portrait of Hoover as Louis XIV of France, wearing his court Mistress' wig and panties (the main things about the painting are modelled on a famous court portrait of the Sun King at Versailles, but there are definite transvestite traits)

(wigs of course were worn by men too in the 17th century, but the shoes (pumps!) and leggings are definitely female, and Hoover posed in all this gear...)
