We have mentioned female hormones and suggested that this might be a good thing both for the internal emotional satisfaction of the individual and because it would probably help to cool off the more compulsive aspects of his transvestism. (This same theory is followed by some psychiatrists). We do NOT suggest, however, that any one of you should attempt to achieve a B-cup bust. That would be very foolish.

We select as attractive Girls for the covers of TVia as we can find and we know that you all enjoy and appreciate them. We do NOT expect that you can all emulate them and we do not urge you to try, unless you are endowed by nature with similar attributes. We cannot all be Marilyn Monroe, let's face it.

We print true life adventures of our readers when they are submitted because we know that others can vicariously live these adventures themselves. We do not necessarily either condone nor recommend some of these activities as a matter of policy of the magazine. We do NOT print them as examples for any and all to foll-

OW.

In short we give these items of information and print these pictures and stories for enjoyment and for help in achieving great- er understanding of the whole field in general and of yourselves in particular. We have to hope that you will all employ wisdom in making your judgements about what you personally can, and should, undertake; that you will use moderation in whatever you do...not being extreme in dress, in frequency of femme dressing, or in im- posing on other persons who try to understand; and that you will try to employ perspective in seeing Femme Personation as an adjunct to your masculine personality, not a substitute for it. We were all born male, trained in masculinity, and have acquired most of our experience in that role. Thus we are expected by society and by our loved ones to function adequately in that role. TRANSVES- TIA does not exist for the purpose of impairing or destroying the masculine but rather to allow those who are aware of their femin- ine side to extract the full benefits from it. We can experience some of the feminine side of life, express part of our personality that way, and be better persons and citizens for it IF we utilize these abilities and express our desires with WISDOM; in MODERATION; and apply PERSPECTIVE to keep the whole matter in balance and under control.
