the idea that there were masculine traits in females and feminine traits in males, but when it came to actually pointing them out, deal- ing with them and accepting them... that was something else again.

However, of recent months things have begun to come to the sur- face. Dr. McKinnon at Univ. of Calif. in a study of creative people made these observations: "in the realm of sexual identifications and interests where creative males give more expression to the fem- inine side of their nature than do less creative males. On a number of tests of masculinity- femininity, creative men score relatively high on femininity, and this despite the fact that as a group, they do not present an effeminate appearance or give evidence of increased homo- sexual interests or experiences. Their elevated scores on femininity indicate rather an openness to their feelings and emotions, a sensitive intellect, an understanding self-awareness, and wide-ranging interests including many which in the American culture are thought of as more feminine.

A recent seminar at the Univ. of Calif. Med. School entitled "The Potential of Woman", Barbara Gunderson, psychologist of Stan- ford Univ. said, Why shouldn't some men be gentle and some women daring? Why can't a woman be a great objective thinker and a man maternal" in the best sense?" Allen Watts, the author, gave a paper called, "The Woman in Man". He said, "A man's fear of being sissy is always proportionate to his lack of faith in his own masculinity. Males in our Anglo-Saxon culture tend to identify themselves with absurdly masculine stereotypes, thus severely limiting their areas of common interest with women.

So you see, the world spins and the clock ticks, and little by little others come to the same conclusion by reason and study that FPS come to by inclination, feeling, and actual experience. The only real difference is that we utilize clothing to release this other self.

One day there will be a meeting ground.. society won't care if FPs dress, but FPs probably won't need to do it by then.
