The next question you will ask is of course how my wife accepts this arrangement. Until quite re- cently, not very well. Not too many weeks ago, she and I had a very serious disagreement about Jean. I can well imagine how she would feel, but I knew that as a married couple for the past eighteen years, we have just not been able to settle the question of femininity between us.

Before I be- gan shaving the hair off, I never felt really comp- lete, now I couldn't possibly let it ever grow again. I have been removing my facial hair permanantly for the past three years. I still have some but another
