Transvestia

Excitedly I grabbed my purse and coat and drove to my friend's house. For the first time by myself I knew the thrill of having men on the street and in surrounding cars give me the flirtatious glances that I, as a man had given to so many women. My nervousness, however, grew as I approached my friend's home for I had no way of knowing how I would be accepted when I arrived.

I almost didn't go up to the front door and considered blowing the car horn, hoping they would come out to the car without making me come in and be examined. But with a deep breath I decided to risk being ridiculed and got out of the car, walked up the sidewalk and knocked at the front door. My friend came to the door, opened it, looked at me, and said, "yes, can I help you?" She didn't recognize me for at least a minute and I knew I had passed the first test of any TV acceptance as a woman.

I was ushered into my friend's living room, seated and served a cup of tea. Nothing would do but that she should bring in all her neighbors to meet as she called her out-of-town friend. For one of the most pleasant half-hours in my life, I gossiped with four of the most delightful ladies I have ever met.

When we finally told the ladies of my true sex, they were at first amazed then quickly laughed and asked to examine me more closely which I readily allowed them to do. One of them insisted on going home and bringing her husband back to meet me. I was truly embarrassed for this would be my first time to meet a man and talk with him the first time when I was dressed in women's clothes that is. He, however, was a good sport, talked to me as would any man to a lady, and laughed hilariously when let in on what to them all was the big joke.

By 8 P m. • that evening, my two friends, Ellen and Marge decided it was time that we three girls went to that promised movie. Afraid to press my luck too far, I talked them into attending a drive-in movie where I knew there would be little chance of my being recognized.
