There is, of course, a lot more that both Bill and Dorothy can learn and they do so by meeting and sharing thoughts with other FP friends. They are very fine people, . . gentle and understanding. Contacting through TVia is perhaps the best way to go about making FP friends. Making a contact with the wrong type could make things difficult.

Bill's wife sued him for divorce. She agreed not to bring out the fact that I was a FP. She would have, however, if I had contested the di- vorce. My lawyer said that this would be very very messy in Boston and advised me to let her go, that she never would understand Dorothy. We remain good friends nevertheless. She is studying Human Relations which will be of help to her. She claims that I gave her a lot of compe- tition raising children cooking etc. when we were living together. Not being able to dress made me very tense and difficult to get along with. I did collect a wardrobe which I kept in the suitcase in my car. She discovered this and cried so much I burned everything to please her. I will try to discuss FPia again with her and even give her a copy of the Wives book. I feel much more able to express myself on the sub- ject since devouring Transvestia, and it gives me much needed courage to do so.
Now, however, Bill and Dorothy are both reaching for serenity and happiness and for the first time in our lives are beginning to discover that reaching this goal is a real possibility. Bill realizes that Dorothy is al- ways present and finds that some of Dorothy's thinking, mannerisms and gestures are accepted by others who don't know of Dorothy. They accept these as part of Bill.
Yesterday Bill went to his college football game. His class had a re- union and there Bill met many classmates he hadn't seen for 25 years. One remarked how quiet and gentle Bill had become so different from the aggressive he-man of college days . . . when he was no doubt trying to prove his masculinity. Bill's international boss (who fired him because he was an FP) was present in the tent. Nothing was said even though Bill felt like saying something. It was not the proper place, however. I think Bill is willing to defend Dorothy now as a vital part of his personality. A very vital part of Bill could not exist without Dorothy. Dorothy main- tains an easy flow to Bill's everyday life. A calmness and ease that Bill never knew existed until Dorothy was allowed complete expression.
