Transvestia

girl. My secret has been well kept.

The only obstacle was my armed forces draft status. When I was finally called up, I was fully developed and was found totally unfit for the service. I was very much relieved.

I have no sex life. I am asexual. I have no homo- sexual tastes in light of my true sex, nor do I care for women in that way.

St. Augustine once wrote, "Seek the truth not with your heart alone for your heart cannot think; and not with your mind alone, for your mind can only find life- less truths. But in union of heart and mind you will find peace of soul".

I have found contentment and peace living as a woman and would never return to my former status.

Life can be beautiful if you learn to face it and nut fight it. Seek the truth within you and you'll have the key to happiness, regardless of the situation.

Memories

I used to wear my sister's dresses, when family'd gone away,

And spend an afternoon of thrills, as the lady I would play.

I'd languish in my ecstacy with girlish odds and ends,

And fuss away the hours,

without a thought of friends.

Then, often how my heart did ache,

as afternoon wore on,

} ) put those lovely things away,

Just dreams to dwell upon.
