Transvestia

When Transvestism is practised solely for auto- erotic purposes it is merely fetishistic or narciss- istic lust. But transvestism in which the aim and practice are the expression of one's femininity, in a pure, feminine way, as a girl or woman would express her femininity, then it is honourable and good, The proper price of dressing like a lady is to act like one. The price of femininity is femin- inity.

We can know ourselves to be feminine, no matter what the world thinks. And, if our religion permits us to believe this, we can remember that it is our mind, or soul, or consciousness, which endures, even when the body is dust.

My own experience suggests that it may be best for TVs not to marry, unless their fiancees know of their TVism and heartily approve. Mere toleration is not enough. If you have not told your beloved, do so very gently, and as gradually as seems wise, even if it takes months.

For many of us discretion is the better part of girlhood, and where the law prohibits us from going on the streets dressed as we should be then we should work to change the law.

We need never be ashamed of our femininity, so long as we act and think like ladies to the highest of our understanding. Our sympathies, our charity, our understanding of other people's problems, our helpfulness to everyone, our wide compassion, should all be more than those of a typical man or of a typical woman. We, are doubly gifted: we should be doubly givers.

Love the world and everyone in it. Love is the most feminine thing of all. Radiating it, we and the best possible

can be most ourselves
