RANSVESTIA

In my case I believe that I can trace the course back to my early youth when my mother kept me in curls and skirts for an undue length of time. I have seen two photographs of a boy apparently six years old, taken the same day. The first shows a girl with curly hair and skirts, the other a boy in coat and knee-length pants. I think it was about the time when I was due to enter Kindergarten. I wish I could find those pictures. My sister kept them until her death about five years ago and I am sure that my old- est son has them now although he has not been able to find them. Be that as it may, I can trace my desire to wear feminine garments back to those days with some experiences which would make a story in themselves.

In this letter however I am going to confine myself to the purpose of donning feminine clothing.

I live in a large house in a suburb of a medium sized city, where I go to work every morning in an office. It is a fairly large office and my life there is filled with problems and anxieties. Fortunately, however, I am able to confine myself to two or three hours in the forenoon. Then I re- turn home where I live with my mentally-retarded son. On my arrival there I remove my heavy masculine clothing and don the lighter and more comfortable feminine clothing. With this change in attire I attain a definite change in character and become a housekeeper. I do all the cooking, laundry and other household chores. This work could be very tedious and boring were it nor for the lift which I get from the cross- dressing. As I discard my office clothing I somehow tend to forget my of- fice problems, especially now, thanks to my reading of Transvestia, I can do this without any feelings of guilt.

I believe that I have done my duty in my masculine life such as three years in the army, many years in public life - first in the city government and later in my town government. Also a member of the Board of Trust- ees of a large church. Now I would like to give more attention to the other phase and explore the thrills of mingling with other FPs.

I could never become a cover girl but I believe that I could present a fairly good appearance. I am 5 feet 51⁄2 inches tall (or short), have shape- ly legs and might assume 42-36-42. I wear high heels all the time at home (except when I have company) and my son seldom sees me ex- cept in dresses.

I should be thrilled to extend my acquaintance with other TVs.
