RANSVESTIA

perimenting on my own. I am trying to get as natural looking as pos- sible. I don't like to look like some lady of the night.

Makeup, hair, and clothes have been improved a lot, but that is not all we have to work on. For instance, many nights have been spent on walking, talking and sitting. Kathy watches how I eat, pointing out little mistakes I make while using utensils or from stuffing too much in my mouth.

One of the things that Kathy really likes is when I put my apron on wth all its frills and ruffles and proceed to do the housework. Kathy shows me all of the little tricks that cut house cleaning time in half. She is also teaching me to cook when we have time, and I must admit that I like it.

So as you can see, we are keeping ourselves busy, Kathy teaching, and me learning. We have come a long way since that first day, but we are planning on going a lot further. I am letting my hair grow as long as possible on top. This is so it can be styled with our cascade. Eventually hope to grow it long enough so it can be styled in a very feminine style. Pierced ears have been discussed and this is something that we will do when I get out of service. My fingernails are growing out and I am learning how to properly manicure them.

The most exciting thing that we have discussed is ways that I could possible live and work as a woman, and make the gender change. We have discussed hair styling, boutiques, and secretarial work. My present job, however, limits my choices since I don't have much free time to prepare myself for any of these. The boutique has the greatest possi- bilities.

So what if I do accomplish these particular dreams? For one thing, it means that my hair will be more than just suitable for feminine styling. It will be past my shoulders in a few short years and never cut again. My next move is to try hormones so that I will feel more comfortable in my new gender role. Long hair, feminine bosom, and derriere, and electrolysis will be the goal that I will shoot for and if I fall short I will still be a very happy and satisfied femme person.

So that is my story and also my plans for the future. The future sounds out of reach, I know, but remember what I have now was a dream of the future not too long ago. Besides, I have the biggest hill already
