Transvestia

she waited until shortly after our marriage to tell me. I was shocked, but hoped it would go away. Since I showed no understanding at that time, she went under- ground again, and so I thought the TVism DID go away. It didn't. To top it off, her physical and mental com- bination fit right into the trans-sexual pattern, and it worries me. We've discussed this at great length, and she swears that as long as we have our love and our son, that she can be content. Until she found Chevalier and Virginia, things looked pretty bad. Since then, we have made some real progress. I have made her see a psychia- trist and a urologist. The psychiatrist was a waste of time and money and the urologist claims everything is normal. So, on August 14, I re-named her

We made quite a celebration of it. I love her, want her to be happy, and I hope that eventually I can come close to complete acceptance.

About a year ago, the combination of her femininity and my antagonism caused her to be impotent. This really worried me and still does.

Her dearest personal ambition has been and is to round out that figure and do away with the little padding she uses. I've enclosed a picture which I ask you to please return. She is 5'7", 138 lbs., size 14-16, 7 gloves and shoes, actual 36A-28-37. I don't mind so much her wanting to develop some more, but I'd be afraid of her being exposed and subjected to scorn or scandal. She claims her femininity can be hidden easily enough when the masculine has to dominate. I just don't know. Her Christmas list starts with oestradial, folliculin, and lutein. Even if I could get them for her, and even
