over to the apartment and we went out for dinner. During it, I told her I would tell her something later in the evening that would perhaps shock her. When we returned, she kept insisting I tell her what I had on my mind. Frankly, I was a little scared, but I told her I was a Trans- vestite. Her only comment was, "So what, if you enjoy it, enjoy it. Everyone should have a hobby. By the way, do you have a wig?" She has told me since that time that she learned about TVism while watch- ing a television program and was quite taken by it. Diane has visited my home many times since then and I have greeted her as Rhonda com- pletely dressed. I have even prepared dinner on those occasions. As mentioned, her reply in answer to my being a TV was, "Do you have a wig?" She said she had one, but did not care for it and if I would like it, she would give it to me the next time she came to California. She kept her promise so today I am the proud possessor of "our" wig. She certainly would make a wonderful "A" wife and I have told her so. She seems to be in favor of it. We do have so much in common in all ways and she does enjoy Rhonda.

This has been a somewhat sketchy story of my life as a TV. I hope it has been of interest to others who are seeking understanding and acceptance of themselves. I have met so many wonderful people in and through my exposure to TRANSVESTIA, all I can say to Virginia, with whom I travelled through Europe in the summer of 1969 is, “God bless you, dear, carry on."
