line asbects of females) but it remained for FP's to bring her forth in 3 dimensions and real time-to give her life. This is the origin of my term "Femme Personator" which is defined as one who "personates”, i.e., makes a person out of his feminine self.

AN INTERESTING SPECULATION

Jung, like all other humans from time immemorial, lived in a society that was highly polarized between masculine and feminine. Observing his contemporaries in that kind of a society, it is not surprising that he discovered the Girl Within. But consider a moment... when society has finally accepted the principles of women's liberation and broadened them (no pun intended) to include men's liberation too, i.e. human libera- tion; and when gay liberation has won its battle, all people will be equal in rights, opportunities and acceptance. In such a society there would be no gender distinctions to speak of, though naturally the biological distinctions of sex would continue. The question then would be, will there be an "anima” and “animus”- that is, cross gender manisfesta- tions - to be found in people? I would venture to suggest that there would not be and I would draw from this the conclusion, not generally con- sidered in psychiatry, that much of what the psychiatrist sees in his pa- tients and extracts from him or herself to evaluate that patient by, is strictly a matter of the state of the culture at the time. A psychiatrist in ancient Greece would not have considered homosexuals as being sick or disturbed or in need of help because the culture didn't define that behavior pattern in that way at that time.

In the same way femmiphiles (TVS) are today considered odd or dis- turbed simply because we fail to conform to today's norms. As a matter of fact I have said before that it is not the FP who is "sick," it is the society that is sick in that it divides all of us into two parts: one acceptable and one forbidden. Those of us who can not or will not accept that division are then oddballs. In a truly equalitarian, humanly liberated society there would be no FPs, no TSS and no gays because there would be no need for those behaviors and nothing to be gained from indulging in them. Stick around awhile and see!
