If we ever co-auther that article, I'd suggest we call it "THE KINETICS OF TV", because that is the important point of what we agreed on the TV is NOT a fully developed personality when we first see her (in most cases) but a personality striving to attain her potential. I think the readers, and especially their wives, need to know this. They also need to recognize that YOUR potential and MINE are quite different, and that they are more apt to be like Fran than either of us. All of us, even the TSs, start off with a more or less fetishist pattern; some stay there a long time, and for a great many it is THE GOAL. Others, like me, develop some what alone, then seem to "explode" when we first read TVia. Then it levels off; I do not dress any more now than I did six years ago, and would be bored to tears at having to dress more than twice a week. In other words, I also have reached my potential, limited as it may seem, and want nothing more. But what I am today would not satisfy Miss 50-70; she must have a bit more. You passed through my stage long ago, and seemed to be about a 60 when we first met but you were still growing, and have only recently come to what we both feel to be your true potential. I do not envy you, because I am just as happy at my 46% as you can be at your 80%; nor do I feel in any way inferior just because my number is lower than yours. What I do feel is sorry for those who are yet groping towards a goal which they do not understand and horror for those unfortunates who have OVER-estimated their potential and had some well-meaning surgeon put them irreversibly in the TS class for which they are not and never would be fitted. Short of that, I do not think an over-estimate does much harm; if any reader is "dressing more now and enjoying it less", I think she will find the solution without any advice from me!

I like to think that we in Chevalier and FPE are creating an environment, such that the TVs being born now will find their potential without the years of agony we "old-timers" went through.

Yes, I tend to agree with Sheila except that "feminine potential" is a pretty hard thing to deal with. Regardless of how we become TVs and relatively regardless of how we over develop
