From time to time in the past certain readers have objected to my useing the term "Sorority" and the ex- pressions "Femmenote" on my note paper and the prefix "femme" this and that in writing. Those who object to this claim that we are trying to out femininize the born women, that we emphasize such matters far more than they do and that this is undesireable.

I can see what they are trying to say and from their limited point of view they are right, but I am equally sure that they do not see these matters from my point of view and I feel that what I am trying to do is both right and desireable. So let's examine it.

What is the biggest burden a TV carries? Guilt about his feminine interest. If one is to help him get rid of this load there are only two possible ways of doing it. Make him forget his feminine interest and thereby the necessity for feeling guilty, or help him to accept the reality and the reason for these feelings and thus remove the root of the guilt. That is, destroy the cause or modify the effect. Since all medical opinion agrees that destroying the TV desire is very unlikely, it leaves us only the alternative method. How should we set about

this?

Well obviously one way would be education of the TV to see that he is not alone and that many others have the same feelings and that such feelings do not brand him as a homosexual. But this does not do the whole job because he is still left feeling that although he is not alone he is still in some vague way a misfit and outcast but that there are a lot of other outcasts to keep him
