Found it. There is So Much to unpack about Virginia Prince, especially with her also writing an editorial about hormones that spends 3/4 of it attempting to caution her readership to not go on them until they are retired, while on them/living as a woman full-time herself.
Paragraph Excerpt from issue 100 of Transvestia magazine. The excerpt is as follows: "Christine Jorgenson's story hit the papers in 1950 and I like every other TV around read it with beating heart. Here was somebody who now could wear her dresses and other feminine things whenever she darn well pleased without having to hide and live in fear. She had it made in my opinion. It wasn't too long after that that Charlotte McCleod appeared on the scene and then Roberta Cowell and her life story was serialized in Life magazine. I was very envious of these people and I believe that if I had had the money at the time I would have taken the boat to Europe. In later years I was very thankful that I was broke because it gave me fifteen or so years to think about the problem and to come up with the awareness that sex and gender were not the same and that it was a gender change that I was interested in and not the ability to have sex with a male so surgery would have been a very expensive, painful and dangerous trip to take to a destination I didn't want to go to."
