Dear Virginia,
Transvestia No. 60 has just arrived. I think that you have all of you done a very good job on this business of the operation and hor- mone treatments and the distinction between Biological sex and Psychological and Social Gender. This is obviously a very important topic about which we must all be completely honest intellectually.
I know that your policy in Transvestia is to continually reaffirm the need for the American Male to develop his feminine attributes. But does the run-of-the-mill member of FPE really support you in this? And do we all, in American and British (and other) societies recognize the urgency of the need to come to terms with our feminine selves before they destroy us in an orgy of violence? From what I have seen at close hand of American society in the last eight months, as well as what I knew formerly, I am getting more and more worried about its future development in our lifetimes. The contrasts between wealth and poverty, between the crowded cities and the open spaces, between ugliness and great beauty, together with the creeping development of pollution and exhaustion of natural resources are, sooner or later, going to break our intellectual controls on society and an uncontrolled emotional revolution will take place. Only the development of compassionate care and love for society and its members in the minds of its intellectual leaders can prevent the eventual material troubles from leading to emotional disaster. In telling the story of Transvestism you can surely plant the warning and the solution in the minds of anyone who happens to see or hear your television and radio programs.
Yours very Sincerely, Rosemary 38-M-7
