ransvestia

Dear Virginia.

Enclosed is my contribution for the TV-TS research project that you and Dr. Bentler are working on. I can't really afford this and if I could I would like to have spent it on a new dress. But in the long range view this contribution is the best investment I can make for myself and my family.

The occasional sex*gender disorientation information given out by the news and medical media tends to intermingle transvestism with transsexualism. This has an unsettling effect on many of us and especially on our wives, and the very process of our finding self- acceptance and maturity as a TV is often misinterpreted as an inex- orable moving toward transsexualism. If your research can cut through this haze of TV-TS interrelations it will be of tremendous value in helping us find renewed stability as TVs.

Looking forward to the results,

Sincerely

Maureen CO-4-J

Dear Virginia,

This is Joan writing. John has let me come out tonight for the reason that we are in San Francisco on business and away from John's wife Jean, who doesn't approve of me at all.

When John was in the hospital for his operation, Jean found my wardrobe and literature and disposed of it. John swore to his wife that he would "mend his ways" and no longer give me any expression. But, as we all know, that's easier said than done. On this trip John has gotten me a new outfit and I am wearing it as I write this letter. I have on a white satin blouse, long black skirt, bra, stockings and garterbelt and panties. He didn't get me any shoes as I require a large size (11B), and no shop was readily available. I feel so wonderfully lovely wearing this outfit. I wish sometimes that John would divorce his wife so that I could come out on a fairly permanent basis. But he says he loves her too much to do that. So I will have to be satisfied with this outing for now.
