METHODS OF PUBLIC EXPRESSION OF FEMMEPERSONATION:

CHILDREN AND THE FEMEPERSONATOR IN THE HOME:

Here is a subject which is very important and about which we get many requests for information. The usual thing is to keep the subject from children. However, various of our readers have told their children. It would be instructive to others if those who have done so would elaborate on what they told the kids, how they told them, what age and circumstances were involved and what their reactions were and are.
