cure for it. After extensive testing he did assure my wife that I did not have homosexual tendencies and this seemed to relieve her mind as this had been the first thing she thought of.

I am not effeminate nor am I real masculine. I seem to be in the middle of things and can't go either way. I am 5 ft. 11 in. tall and weigh 145 lbs. I have a mildly deep voice, a light beard and a protruding adams apple, that is about all you can see that is masculine. Things you can't see, such as feelings and desires are feminine.

As I have said earlier, women are able to wear men's clothes, have men's type hair cuts, smoke pipes and cigars in public and get away with it. This is what burns me up, I think that what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Why don't we call them transvestites? Simply because they are in a majority! At some time or other, most of them do these things yet we love them just as much for it.

In closing I want to give thanks to my wife and the other friends for their understanding of this problem as they know how much it means to me to be able to express my feminine self. We have been married over eighteen years and have three sons now, the youngest being 4 years old. It is harder than ever to keep him from seeing me dressed up as he sleeps in our bedroom. I feel that if all the boys would have been able to see this from early childhood on, that it wouldn't be a problem now. They might have asked some questions but I think we could have given them a simple answer, they would have accepted it and the problem wouldn't have been as big as it is now.
