exceeded by her enthusiasm. She is now what I could classify as an 'A' wife.

She has been a great help with my wardrobe and make-up. We know each other so much better now. We have even gone out a few times together. The transformation must be very good because I have had offers of dates from many wrong men we have met at the night clubs. Of course, I do not accept for two reasons, I am not homosexual, and I am very much in love with my wife and do not want to hurt her.

Please let me know where I can obtain more literature on TVism. I think the more we know the better it will be. Thank you so very much, Virginia, you are a wonderful person for helping me and others as you are.

Sincerely thank you, Karyn - No. Dakota

Dear Virginia,

A short while ago you asked me to write an article titled "Family Acceptance". I hope that it was satisfactory for our magazine. But more important, I hope that it may have helped another TV find family acceptance.

Since writting my article I went one step further, my sister, a girl friend of hers, and an uncle of mine have been told of my desire to cross-dress. Fantastic as it may seem, they not only accept Mary Ann but have told me that she is an easier person to talk to than Jim; she is more tolerant and understanding. Needless to say, they have all seen me in feminine attire.

My sister has taken me in hand in matters of make-up and voice. She realizes that I have a strong masculine voice but insists that it be modulated to a softer feminine tone when present as Mary Ann. She is very critical of this point and corrects my projection of voice even when my uncle or her girl-friend are present. It is very gratifying when there is someone who is helpful in making one aware of a lapse in her feminine expression.
