Semantha dreams of being accepted and validated as a woman. She seems to have found that at a Salvation Army Women's Shelter in the Bronx. She shares these experiences and the joy that has come to her by being given panties and a bra at the shelter, being complimented on her dress by a male usher at church & being told by a man that he thinks she is using the wrong (men's) bathroom. Then things get hot.

They are listed and described in a message below. Randolfe (Randy) Wicker
