ED. NOTE:

The following is a news note found by Maureen 6-J-1 FPE in a Denver paper and the reply that she wrote to this person. It is repro- duced here to show the kind of thing you can do when you hear of or read about one of our undiscovered sisters. There are many others needing help; don't pass up the opportunity to offer it when it comes

your way.

On routine patrol at Red Rocks, Sheriff's deputies came across a man sleeping in the front of a jeep about 4:45 a.m., woke him up, and when he came out from under his blanket they discovered he was wearing a padded bra, woman's slip, nylons and a brown wig. His jeep was filled with other women's apparel and he explained that "I like to dress this way." Officers noted that he was orderly and cooperative, took a few of his magazines away from him but then let him go back to dreamland in his getup.

Dear Transvestite:

I saw the comment about you in the May 28 issue of The Sentinel.

There are others like you in Lakewood, in Denver and around the world. Some of these persons have formed an international organiza- tion similar in some respects to Alcoholics Anonymous. Activities of local chapters provide a safe and satisfying solution. Only hetero- sexual transvestites are involved; there is no connection with homo- sexuality, bondage, domination or fetishism. The organization is approved by various doctors, psychiatrists, judges and lawyers. Two Denver psychiatrists have been involved including participating in a one-hour television program on it.

Please read the enclosed booklet, "An Introduction To The Sub- ject Of Transvestism." If you are a heterosexual transvestite and would like help and a better way out, write to the address in it.

Personal security measures are of utmost importance to protect the privacy of individuals in the organization. Hence you can not reach me except through the California headquarters. And rest assured I have no way of knowing your identity. If this letter reaches you it will have been through the kindness and consideration of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Sincerely, A friend
