32.

Dear Editor: I have been a TV for about 14 years. As I participate in sports etc. most evenings and Sunday after- noons I do not get to dress completely in women's clothing as often as would like. But whenever I have a few hours alone I usually do wear a complete outfit of feminine things The rest of the time I wear panties or a sports girdle under my men's clothing. I do not wear high heels at any time as I cannot walk or stand steadily in them.

I would like to masquerage as a woman some times but have not done so yet. It would probably not surprise some people because I am considered sort of screwball due to doing just about anything I feel like doing. Because I often think of one thing while doing something else some people have seen me in women's clothing. Once, while changing shirts in a locker room with about 20 men present I forgot I had panties on and let my slacks drop to the floor after I unzipped them Nothing was said about it that evening, but 2 weeks later members of the opposing team got on me about being a queer attempting to ruin my bowling. Instead I bowled about 30 pins per game over my average, and that was the last I was reminded of it. On some other occasions people have seen me in women's clothing, but have said nothing to me about it. I sometimes wear items of women's clothing openly when I figure they will not be recognized as such

To my knowledge I first started wearing women s cloth- ing shortly after a couple of my friends wore some of their girl friend's clothing to school as a gag. Anyhow that was what touched off a desire to wear them I started out wear ing clothing of my sisters and other women and girl relat- ives of mine whenever I could do it privately. Later I got an apartment of my own and bought my own wardrobe. I am a serious compeditor in sports and games, always playing to win. I am the city chess champion nd have won so convinc- ingly against some opponents that they have refused to play me again. I also participate in bowling, golf, and target shooting.

yours,

Jane, Kansas
