We now have two problems before us, first, how to find those as yet undiscovered TVs, and second, how to explain and enlighten other non-TVs about this activity and its basic philosophy. Work toward both of these goals has been started by Chevalier Publications-- (a) Through the magazine itself by advertising, and letters to professional people, and (b) through the evolutionary interaction of ideas of sub- scribers on the one hand and myself as Editor on the other, by lect- ures and leaflets passed out, by Susanna through her activities here in N. Y. etc.

Now we have a Foundation. The important part of our articles of incorporation were printed in TVia #17 page 56. So the Foundation is set up. Practically all the cost of doing so, together with all other activities to date have been paid for by the dues of F.P. E. mem- bers, less than $100 having come from donations. (This was true at the time, but upwards of $400 has come in since.) And at this point may I interject that one-half of my expenses on this trip were paid out of these funds. This was not done arbitrarily, but by permission. A letter was sent to all FPE members requesting their judgement on the matter. About 75% of these responded and 100% who did said yes. More than that, gifts totaling about $50 were sent me personally for trip expense. This was a very heart warming gesture of appreciation to me and I take this occasion to publicly thank those who made these gifts.

But now that we have a Foundation, what do we do with it? Be- fore discussing this question, however, a word about the philosophy of the TV movement is in order. This has been developing with me over many years. You have watched it evolve through my Virgin Views editorials. But the next step is a revolutionary one. Not nec- essarily for those individuals who have arrived at the same point in- dependently, but for the majority of TVs, the public and, with apol- ogies to our professional friends who may take some exception, to the medical and psychological fraternity.

We need a new pair of glasses to see things from a new point of view. Since (1) TVism has long been identified with homosexuality by lay and professional people alike, and since (2) homosexuality is at least in most cases a psychosexual deviation not from a social norm but from a biological one, it has been in the past and largely still is, classified as a type of mental illness that needs description, classification and treatment, like alcoholism, drug addiction, etc. When not related to overt homosexuality it was claimed by Stekel and others to be "latent" homosexuality at worst and a "paraphilia" similiar to fetishism, masochism and narcissism at best.
