Transvestia

can publish it in full. We each of us have to work out our own stories.

Mrs. Branch then comments on the problems of men who start to live their lives as women. The big dis- advantage in this complicated civilization is the import- ance of the pieces of paper we collect. It is not always possible to change the name on these particularly Col- lege degrees and professional diplomas. A change of job means a reduction in income. This problem is probably more severe in England, where changes in profession or type of job are much less common.

The description of the final state of those who make the change is fair an unusual thing to see in print out- side our own journal. "This does not mean that they in anyway resemble the male prostitutes in drag, with exaggeratedly high heels, low-cut dresses and mincing gait. Instead the girl behind the counter in the shop, the clerk in the office, or the girl serving tea in the factory canteen may all- or any · be transvestites".

Many of you have, in the past, asked what be- came of the questionaire that was sent out. Perhaps some of you didn't get the message in #35 that the Survey paper I presented in Hawaii is the results of this questionaire. They have been tabulated and writ- ten up for publication. Limited number of copies are available. While they last at $2.00 each to cover the cost of tabulation and mimeographing. Income goes back to the Foundation which paid for it in the first place. There are not too many left so get with it if you want the results.

In moving I discovered another package of the origional questionaires. I am sending these out to the new subscribers as they appear but if any of you who have never filled one in, in the past would ask for one and return it, it would mean just that many more cases to document our story with. Everyone helps.
