WEDNESDAY: 9 a.m. did the KYW show. Was surprised to find that in addition to myself they had imported an operated TS from N.Y. and who would it be but the most outspoken person who had been at the Coney Island meeting back in July. Also there was a young man there who had gone the route up to the final steps toward the operation before he found himself, took some therapy and reversed his whole position. He is now very much incensed at the Drs. who gave him hormones which rendered him probably permanently sterile as well as gave him 38B breasts. The latter can be surgically removed though the telltale scars will always be present. But now he wants to get married and father chil- dren and as yet there has been no sign of testicular recovery. So as it turned out he and I from two different points of view really ganged up on this aggressive TS type. Although she hoped to do some good for the TS cause in the eyes and ears of the viewers I'm quite sure she was a dismal failure because both the man and myself made a better physical appearance and the strength of our arguments coming as they did from opposite sides certainly combined to wipe out her efforts on the pre-TS side. It was surprisingly an interesting interchange.

THURSDAY: Did the Marie Torre show on KDKA-TV this morning, third time I've been on that one and as usual it was a good show and brought in quite a bit of mail to L.A. Visited Carnegie Museum and saw advertising on a bus about a woman candidate for city council. I had met her in San Francisco 2 years ago and told her all about the TV scene, so I phoned her and then went out to her home. She is very active in the Women's Lib scene and belongs to NOW as I do so I ended up stamping envelopes fo. her campaign for a couple of hours while visiting with her and her women campaign workers. Hope she gets elected

FRIDAY: Flew to Tulsa this morning to be met by Joy and Louise's brothers and taken to Joy Susanne's home where I met her A+ wife, Mila, great. She tried to treat me like a Queen but feeling that that was out of place I settled for Princess. But they both were very good to me and again gave me a chance to take it easy for a couple of days.

SATURDAY: We had a party of the Oklahoma chapter which has just come into function in the last 6 months and it's a nice little group. It was further fortified by the appearance of Edith and her wife and Carol, all from Kansas City. We had a nice evening and dinner at the home of Ruth and her very understanding and helpful wife.
