Transvestia
ward about TV'ism. It is not too unusual for all of us to compare notes on makeup, clothes and such. I am living in an apartment which is owned by one of the girls I work with. We, (the girls and Donna) go shopping and run errands together. I have had all of Donna's clothes altered by another one of my co-workers who is handy with needle and thread.
I stated earlier that some of the guilt and anxiety could be handled internally. By having let my TV'ism become general knowledge all remaining guilt has been eliminated. There is now no anxiety about being "caught" Should I be spotted by friends downtown or picked up by the police there might be a few needles jabbes in but then what is life without a sense of humor.
Another aspect of this is the impossibility of anyone shaking me down or blackmailing me. There are no laws here in Las Vegas that I'm breaking, nor am I worried about losing my job. I do a good one and as long as there is no police trouble my job is secure. In view of this lack of laws there should no police trouble.
In issue Number #27 of TRANSVESTIA on page 30, there were these lines: We wouldn't worry so much about what people think of us, if we only realized how seldom they do.
Who penned these lines I don't know but I can say this, they are very true. It appears to me that as long as a person does not hurt another person with their ac- tions and as long as one remains a reasonable human being you can find acceptance regardless of how "far out" you may think your behaviour is.
