..2 issues... predecessor of the same name) a publi- cation dedicated to the interests of those males who had discovered the feminine within themselves whether by accident or design, voluntarily or enforced. Over the past three and one half years not only has the mag- azine as a publication grown but so has the perception of it's readers and its Editor. It is the efforts to under- stand the phonomenon and to spread knowledge and un- derstanding culminated in the formation of the FOUN- DATION FOR PERSONALITY EXPRESSION. Here is a mechanism with which much could be done if many hands were applied to the task. So far initiative and effort have largely been left to me though there have been a few who have undertaken to assist. Notable among these is the Theta Chapter of FPE, organized by FRAN (49-C-1FPE) in Wisconsin. This group has adopt- ed as their project the mailing of the Foundation leaf- let to various medical persons and institutions around the country. If others would get organized and take up projects we could really move.
The point that must be made, however, is that there exists a focal point around which all sorts of ef- forts could be rallied and progress made. The regret mentioned above exists because while "competition" on the commercial plane is of no concern-- there is always room for another voice--competition in loyalty, sup- port, action, purpose and effort will exist. All of these will be divided, and thus diluted and diminished. This I feel is to be regretted. If those who have seen fit to organize this new venture had put the same en- ergy into the work of the Foundation we would--all of us--be further ahead. No one's views have been dis- couraged or denied access to the pages of TVia unless they were written on subjects outside the limitations discussed earlier, so it can't be said that a second voice was necessary. However, a second voice is here, so let us hope that we can sing in harmony and not dissonance and that between the two we can present our case to the world with intelligence, understanding and dignity.
