privileges, and customs of men. As a reaction you can already see some of it in the clothing of the young men of today and in some of the presentations in the fashion centers of Europe men are likely to find themselves in skirts of one kind or another, abandoning the pants to women. What will happen to TVism then? Among the older generation of TVs whose concepts of womanhood were formed before the change, the wearing of skirts will continue, but they will be feminine skirts and not the kind that the males may be wearing at that time. They will be anachonisms but they will do it. It will be exactly analogous to those whose TV patterns were set in the period of 1910 to 1930 (or earlier) who today still long for bloomers and wasp waist corsets when women are no longer wearing them.
If the genders stay polarized (even tho reversed) then you will find the younger TVs adopting pantsuits and other styles currently popular with females (perish forbid say I of the older generation). But it is not likely that genders will be so polarized. It is much more likely that clothing, jewelry, hairstyles, shoes, etc. will be colorful and varied and that persons of both sexes will wear what pleases them on a particular day and in a particular mood. In that day TVism as we know it will have become extinct. I for one feel that will be marvelous. Not for me personally, but because it will mean that the untold thousands upon thousands, probably millions, of males who, if society remained as it is, would have to go thru what we have all been thru will be spared that ordeal. Not only spared, but freed to express their total self at any time (as women will be too of course). No more of the girl within and the boy on the outside. Everyone will be both Birl and Goy (spelling intentional) and everyone will be much more human and able to contribute all of their human potentialities to society, and believe me society is going to need it. I think the human species is in for some very very hard times in the course of resolving the pressing problems of our time. So enjoy your femininity while you can and while there is such a thing. I'm sure it is later than most of us think!
CORRECTION
In the very first line of the article "Change of Sex or Change of Gender" in TVia No. 60 a printers error was made which was brought to our attention by a reader ordering the issue referred to. It says, "In TVia No. 37 I did the Virgin Views editorial on female hormones." The error is in the fact that it was in No. 57 that this appears. Thus those of you wishing to order the issue with the hormones discussion in it will please ask for 57 not 37. Sorry!
