proof that TVs just don't want to put on a dress to express feminine feeling inside them but really want to go much further and this is what they fear most.

What you have done here is to go further than any TV ever has and in effect share your innermost feelings with the public. This just can't be done without doing harm to many people because, as you know, people just don't go this deep and tell others about it.

Curiously that was really the whole point of the article in describing my goal and its achievements - to point out that the logical end of TVism in NOT homosexuality or
