These are snapshots Annette in both boy mode and girl mode are from Denise’s scrapbooks. They include one with her wife and one with her one-and-a-half year-old daughter. Annette was Transvestia’s first Cover Girl of the Month, in issue #5, Sept. 1960. Editor Virginia Prince called Annette, “an excellent choice to be the first to grace our cover. As anyone can see she is a lovely, attractive girl who has learned to make the most of her assets…”
Beside a supportive wife, Annette had some very close cis-gendered allies. In Transvestia #5 she writes about one couple who feel, “that I should decide for myself what I think is best for me and whatever I do is all right with them. I have attended dances (costume), movie theaters and restaurants with them while I was dressed up. Appearing in public with another couple, I feel more at ease, as a group draws less attentions than a single person. The husband of this couple is taller than I am too, so this helps me hide my height.” Even so, she laments that, “I know of no other TV’s in my area and have yet to meet another personally.”
