Transvestia

When I first heard the story I could hardly believe my ears, because you see Virginia, to tell the truth, my mother never bothered to tell me any- thing about sex, only that a girl begins to mens- truate when she is in her early teens, and very basic facts of feminine hygiene. I wasn't even very upset because I just did not know or understand.

A few months later my husband put on those shoes and the real pink dress. I was a little shocked but I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I did not bother to tell him how I felt.

We have been married a year and four months and I have learned a lot from my husband. You see, little by little he tried on things and had me buy panties, bra with padding, slip, stockings, garter belt, a dress and a skirt and blouse. Oh, I made him get rid of those terrible shoes and bought him a pair of black patent leather spike heels.

I think it was good for him to realize that he should tell me as soon as he did instead of my being so totally shocked like some of the women you de- scribe and have letters from in your book. I don't believe I could have been so hard because I feel that my husband and I love each other very much and keep no secrets from each other.

When we started hunting for any type of liter- ature on the subject of TVism we realized that we were not the only people with this same problem to solve. One day we happened to buy the INSIDER news - paper in which your article was published. There- fore we immediately sent for the book. We are both very happy with it and I know I understand my hus- band much better.

Would you please let us know if there are any other couples in the area of a hundred miles. What I mean is that I have found that by having my husband with other people he begins to relax and maybe if he found people like us he would be even happier.
