imperative 2500 years ago and has become a truly Life or Death issue for humanity today. Half-measures, a little bit of cross-dressing here or a little bit of Unisex there are completely useless. Unless we fully experience, know and integrate the Feminine within us, then our Society is doomed to disaster and destruction from the cancers that are, even now, growing within it.

Editors comment: This is an interesting discussion of the causes and problems of the transvestite. Her last suggestion about FPE and those FPs who cannot become "active" is, however, unnecessary. 1) No one is urged to join FPE, it is entirely voluntary. 2) Having joined, participation in any local group is entirely up to the indivi- dual. So, 3) anyone who wishes to support, identify with and be part of FPE is welcome to apply for membership whether or not she wishes to be "active." FPE is not a road to "cure" FP anymore than AA is aimed to "cure" all alcoholism. In both cases the effort is centered around helping the individual to deal with the realities of his own life. For the alcoholic this involves realizing that he is an alco- holic i.e. chemically unable to handle alcohol and thus that he must abstain from it. AA helps give him the psychological courage to do it. FPE on the other hand helps the FP to handle his realities by help- ing him to understand himself and to provide opportunities for written and social contacts with others if the FP is ready for them. Self understanding and acceptance can take the "heat" out of the matter and reduce the worry and tensions involved. When this has been done the individual is better able to deal with all his other life problems.
