leave on manuvers and had to leave those pretty things at home. I married in 1979 and was divorced a year later since my wife could not understand my need to crossdress. I have not cross- dressed since the divorce but I am now looking forward to going on leave and will spend a week of it as a female. I do plan on acquiring a nice wardrobe to retain this time. I am tired of society telling me it is wrong, when I feel so RIGHT about it. Jennifer (Montana)

Dear Carol: I have been a transvestite since I was young. When it was possible I would impersonate a female with makeup and all. Once I even went out in public, shopping, going to a movie and to a bar, where a man asked me to dance. Needless to say, I was scared silly for fear of being found out. I do not go out now, because I am completely terrified, although I do wear lingerie and panty hose under my male clothing. Fran (Bethesda, Maryland)

Dear Carol: I am writing this letter for my boyfriend who enjoys wearing female clothing. He has enjoyed this for the last several years, but only dresses indoors and when I am to help him.

His wife could care less or be shocked at his behavior. Thus, I am not writing from her viewpoint but for him. He seems to have come to a standstill and needs to make friends with new people who feel the same as him. He needs to associate with these new friends and go out with them. He needs to dance, attend parties and social functions to really make him feel good. I read the letter in FORUM magazine and decided to find out where 'she' can find help and a chapter of The Society For The Second Self. I really get 'turned on' when 'she's' all colled up.

Dear Carol: I am a heterosexual male transvestite that has had a very hard time I guess like all the rest of us. My new wife is the most wonderful person in the world and understands and helps me with my crossdressing. I would be most willing to help someone out in the New Jersey area. I have a very re- sponsible position in my community. (J.H. in N.J.)

Dear Carol: I am a 21 year old heterosexual Tv and have an A.A. degree at a military school in another state. When I was about 5 or 6 I started to wear my mother's clothes. I don't know why I still do it but I just like to wear women's clothing.
