Transvestia

years of frustration and deep, almost painful emotional turmoil that I had experienced at times seemed to be worth it in so many ways. Ankie had finally arrived as a real and true person, with a right to live and to be real.

Each month of course, I would look forward to my Femme mirror and every other month TVia would give me new hope and a new lease on life. At first I felt that some of the personal stories that I read in TVia were mostly fiction and that it was put on "pretty thick", but as I read issue after issue, and I began to realize that while for many of us it will never be possible to be a Virginia, Suzanna, Jean or Gloria for many reasons, I also realized that even though there are a certain amount of limitations for all of us, we can be very contented and happy and we can also have a Rich Life.

One important and significant thing is this, you cannot be completely happy or satisfied by yourself, even if you could live from day to day in your own fem- meworld without fear or anxiety. It is still very frust- rating to say the least and in due time you will be as un- happy as you were when you did not even have Virginia, FPE, the Mirror or Transvestia. Staying in that closet I referred to above, is the worst thing one can do, mainly because it is absolutely unnecessary in so many ways.

True, it may not be possible for you to have a sister in your own home town, particularly if you live in a smaller community rather than a city, but you can have a lively correspondence with so many of the girls and strangely enough you will discover in short order that those of us who do have the opportunity to travel, will make a very sincere effort to meet you personally and spend some time with you.

ONCE YOU HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, to sit down with a sister TV and have a real heart to heart girl talk an entirely new world will open itself to you and you will feel so completely different and find the peace of mind you have sought for so many years. You will finally realize that you are a reality, you are a living being, and you will discover that you will be more successful in your everyday male life also.
