RANSVESTIA

Dear Virginia:

This last Thursday my first three copies of TVia arrived and I have literally devoured them. Yes, you were very understanding in choosing Vols. 73, 74, and 75. I will never be able to express on paper the feelings of relief, understanding and encouragement that you, through TVia have brought to me. I am sure you will know and can understand my feelings of shame, guilt, fear of being discovered, etc., all of which have been related and discussed in TVia. The loneliness of it all was the worst part. The feeling that I was some type of weirdo, queer, oddball - the feeling that no one else feels the same as I do this is what bore down on me most. Joy Lynne's history (“You've Come A Long Way, Baby" TVia No. 75, page 48) could have been written by me. And Georgette's letter (TVia No. 74, page 68) just about expressed everything I have felt but have been unable to relate to anyone ever.

This latter allowance was made just re- cently. I have not yet shown her my three copies of TVia. Maybe, this evening, after the kids are in bed and we can slip into "something com- fortable".

Thank you for all your help, Virginia, until the next time my warmest best wishes.

many people follow to this goal.

Take artists, for example. If a person had the training and opportun- ity and the skill, he may find himself trying to express his complete per- sonality through an art form. I think that there are enough examples in painting, writing, music and all the rest that would attest to the fact that men have found the chance to express gentleness, emotion and beauty through their work. It is interesting to note that although such mani-
