PUDGY'S REPLY

Last issue I published a "review" of the TV and His Wife book by Eve Browne. I also provide space for a reply. I received one and here it is.

I don't think I need much comment, the attitude and tone of Pudgy's effort speaks more eloquently for itself than anything I could say. Just two points however—1) after accusing me of boosting my ego he devotes most of the reply to boosting his own, and 2) the number of people who read something is no measure of its quality. Many more read the National Enquirer than the Scientific American, but I'd hate to trust my education to the former. Personally I would rather say something important to a few than to shout empty generalizations and sarcasm at a multitude. But you make what you want of it.

It is most enlightening to learn that Pudgy "is the influence behind the popularity of cross dressing today"! I wonder how most of you and myself ever managed to get started in the field without Pudgy's help. I do wish that Even and Pudgy would get together on their epithets however, to Eve I am "no spring chicken" but an "alleged grandma” while to Pudgy I'm a "senile old man." Tsk Tsk, how confusing now I don't know whether I'm a man or a woman.

Yours pathetically,

"Old Know Nothing"

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN..

An open letter to Charles "Virginia" Prince's idiotic comments in her TRANSVESTIA V.XVI, *95.

When I was handed a copy of your recent rag (heaven knows I would never BUY such tripe), I read your comments on EVE BROWNE'S reaction to your booklet: The Transvestite And His Wife. It seems that you are not only making an attempt to belittle Eve's own personal opinion, but you make poor attempts to slander me!
