Transvestia

my closest and dearest friends. My GG has remarked many times that we would search far and wide before we would find friends as interesting and as nice as those we have met in FPE. These are people with whom I don't feel I have to put up a front to make a false impression. I can be myself because I have nothing to hide.

Going back to when I was twenty-one

-

I went to

a doctor for help. I told him that I liked to wear dresses. He listened to me and then left the room only to return with another doctor. They both looked me over and treated me as if I were a freak, so I left and never went back.

My next encounter was when my GG took our old- est son for family counseling. After two years of counseling the doctors called us both in for a con- sultation. The outcome of the meeting was that the doctors wanted me to seek psychiatric help. I found a doctor and he was no different than all the rest... Quote...."My colleagues and I have reached a conclu- sion in regard to your problem. We suggest that you make arrangements to come in and see us once a week until we have cured you of your problem...If you have no desire to come back for treatment then it is our conclusion that you should leave your family and take residence by yourself. Don't make your decision now, think about it and let me know what you have decided next week." end quote. By the time I reached home I was pretty mad but when I told my GG what the doc- tor had said she was fit to be tied. She stated "You are not going to return to those nuts. They don't know what the 're talking about." So I called the doctor and gave him my decision. He didn't like it but I didn't care.

At an earlier meeting with my son's doctors they had suggested that we tell him about me and TV. They also felt that we should tell our other three children, It was their feeling that the child- ren's knowing would help relieve some of the tension
