Transvestia

Many of us will never be able to appear in public but this is no absolute necessity by any means. But we can have meetings, we can have friendship and we can have the opportunity to be ourselves in every respect without reservations, without the fears, the frustrations, that we have all experienced so much in our past lives.

By having a close relationship with each other, we can first of all help each other and secondly we are able to give each other the deep understanding emotionally that we all so sorely need.

These things cannot be accomplished by yourself, FPE offers Freedom For Personal Expressions, and that is exactly what we can have by joining FPE first of all. And secondly by taking an active part individually and jointly.

Here in Michigan we are forming a Chapter and in a short while we will have a regular meeting date set. True, there are only three of us at the present, but that 'doesn't worry us at all. We're so happy that we are able to meet and spend just a little while together being our femme selves, that we feel deep in our hearts in due time more will come to our chapter and join in the fun, the peace and the beauty of being alive.

It is a slow process organizing a chapter. A tedious job in itself as we have to respect each other's individ- ual situation, time available etc, but it can be done. The deep natural understanding of each others problems is one of the things that knits a close relationship be. tween us girls. We all have common troubles nd we can help each other in the solution of our indi dual difficulties. But again I say, no one can do it alone. By yourself you'll surely lead yourself down the path of ultimate and complete unhappiness, but with the help, understanding and co-operation of your sister TVs, you too can have a rich and happy life.
