RANSVESTIA

One evening, in the week before Christmas, we were watching T.V. (the tube, that is). I was dressed as a woman, as usual. I announced that I still had some shopping to do. She wondered who it was for. I told her one does not ask such questions at Christmas time. (It was for her.) I slipped into one of her coats, grabbed my purse and was off. The shop- ping expedition, while fruitless in finding what I wanted, was most re- warding in a FP sense. I wandered through the various departments of the big discount store and was accepted for the woman I sought to be.

On my return my wife asked how it had gone. I replied it was nice but I did not locate what I was seeking. Talk ensued about the store and the items I had seen. I indicated I had tried on some shoes in the self-service department but did not find anything to my liking.

So it went during the Christmas season. My wife has tolerated my FP leanings. She knew of them before our marriage. The details of "ac- ceptance" of "Nancy" by my wife are so similar to those of the other girls I will not bother with the details. She does acknowledge that I seem relaxed and at ease in the feminine role. She has even gone so far as to remark in one conversation we had one night, “You sound just like a girl," which pleased me beyond measure.

On New Years Eve, on an impulse we both went out to see what was going on in terms of celebrations around town. I was, of course, dressed as a woman. Throughout my adventures she has been most helpful with suggestions as to how I might improve my image. She has also wel- comed suggestions from me on how she might accent a dress or suit she was wearing. We interchange jewelry as needed but she can not wear most of my earrings as they are for pierced ears. (This was done long be- fore our marriage.)

For her Valentine gift I bought her a coat of the latest fashion craze. She was most pleased as it tied in with what she was wearing that even- ing when we went out to dinner. I indicated it was a coat we could both wear. With this she agreed. So much so that she said, "I'll pay for half of it. This will be our Valentine gift to each other." How lucky can an FP be-with a wife like that?

Some time in the near future I want to go shopping with my wife. Not together, but so that she can see me in relationship to other women shop- pers and how they react to me. I am sure she will find no reaction at all. This is a future and anticipated event that will bring forth the further acceptance of "Nancy" by the public and in particular a wonderful helpmate of Nancy.
