may be some TV's who are actually borderline cases, incipient TS's. They frankly admit that if circum- stances were such and such (age lack of family responsibilities appropriate physical character- financial affluence) they would seriously consider living the rest of their lives as girls. They confess being quite disgusted with their lives as men and would have preferred to have been born GG's. The TS thrust is there, but it is held back, repressed, crushed under the realities of life -and is held only as a pleasant day-dream, as a wish that cannot ever be fulfilled. Such TV's usually manage to survive quite satisfactorily. They immerse them- selves in various activities (aside from their TV life) and they do find enough pleasures in their everyday existence to counter-balance the impossible dream.

The important thing is to know oneself and to learn that TVism far from being a handicap can, and should, be turned into an asset in our lives. I am not saying that it is an easy task to tame the "girl within" but I do say that she can be turned into a wonderful ally to help us live a happier and richer life.

FPE North Europe

Our readers in Europe will be pleased to know that an FPE organization exists in Europe too. Its headquarters are in Sweden and TVs in the various European countries are invited to make contact with it. If you read Swedish you'll be interested to know that it publishes its own magazine too. It is called "Quinno Spegeln" which I'm told means "Femme Mirror" For further information write to
