I know women who slept with him. They spent enough time around him to know that he did not engage in cross-dressing.
There are just some people who don’t go nuts over women...but don’t necessarily mean they like men. If anything, Hoover was probably too busy running the FBI and worrying about and obessing about it, they he just didn’t have time for any relationships. Remember, the FBI today—with all its diffusion of responsibilities and assistant directors—wasn’t the FBI of yester year. In fact, everyone called Hoover or FBI Washington—SOG—seat of government—meaning everything—and I mean—everything—came across J. Edgar’ desk...and he controlled it. If a gman’s car’s paint was nicked, Hoover heard about it.
Former FBI agent Gordon Liddy once said that he and other agents went through J. Edgar Hoover’s desk drawer shortly after Hoover’s death.
Liddy claimed there were photos of nude women in the desk drawer.
