I hope you're comfortable, Sweetie; I'm going to tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a guy named Doug Connors, who was a bit of
a dick I'll admit, but didn't really deserve everything that happened
to him. One morning after a one-night stand he couldn't find his
underwear, so the girl thought it would be sexy if she let him borrow a
pair of her panties. Never having worn a thong before, he was a little
distracted and couldn't react fast enough when this bigger asshole took
a wrong turn at a stoplight and smashed into him. He got rushed off to
the hospital, but was unconscious.
However, he could hear what was going on, and what he heard didn't
sound so good. There was a lot of damage to his genital area, but
(here's where it starts to go absurd) since they found him wearing
panties the doctor in charge decided that he must be one of those
weirdo guys that want to be women, and he okays the reconstruction guy
to rebuild his crotch with an innie instead of an outie. And he's
still in a coma, screaming internally, "Stop! Don't do this!" but of
course no one can hear, and before you can say Jill Robinson, our boy
Doug is now a girl!
She doesn't wake up, but she can still hear things. It turns out the
doctor who approved this surgery is an Evil Bastard, and he's running a
scam with his buddy the insurance man to perform all kinds of surgeries
and procedures on poor ex-Doug, charging it to the insurance settlement
from the bad driver, and skimming a little of the top for himself. It
seems Dr. Evil Bastard Mike Andrews got into a little trouble and owes
a lot of money to some shady characters, so he cooked up this scheme to
get him the funds.
He isn't worried what would happen if the patient finds out and sues
the hospital, because he's keeping her in a coma with some kind of
drug, although he must not be using enough if she's hearing him so
often. All they would have needed was one little machine that's not
all that complicated to use and he'd be able to know when her brainwave
patterns showed she was listening, but even mad geniuses make mistakes
sometimes.
One time when he was raping her with his little friend Larry the
insurance guy, she heard that his Evil Bastard plan was even worse.
Wait a minute; that's right! I forgot to mention the raping part. All
the while he's having her remodeled, he's been using her shiny new
vagina (and other parts) as something to be fucked whenever he feels
like it and sharing her at least once with his buddy.
Anyway, his Evil Bastard plan is even Eviler and Bastardlier; when he's
run out of things that he can do to her and charge for, he's going to
arrange for her to have an "incident" and slip from comatose to dead.
So she musters every ounce of willpower into a mantra of "Got to wake
up, got to wake up, got to wake up!" The miracle happens, or maybe
she'd just built up a resistance to the drug, but she opens her eyes
and is in a hospital, and she's a girl, and it wasn't a bad dream, but
the nightmare's just beginning.
How do I know all this? Because I'm her, Aurora Connors, the Sleeping
Beauty formerly known as Doug. I hope you recognized my voice,
Darling. And now that you know that I know everything about what you
did to me, you're wondering what I'm going to do to you, or maybe even
what I've already done. But I won't tell you yet. You'll have to wait
until I finish my story. Now where was I? Oh yes, Aurora was waking
up in the hospital. Actually, Aurora really doesn't like talking about
herself in third person, so I'll switch to talking about me as me. Is
that ok? Just shake your head if it's not. Thanks for indulging me.
I woke up, and was feeling very weakened, but I still managed to get
the doctors' attention. And they got the nurse to bring me some water
to sip, and the Chief of Surgery helped answer some questions, while
the Evil Bastard went to fetch a mirror. I knew that until they
discharged me from the hospital, I was still at their mercy. In the
state I was in, it would be really easy for them to still arrange that
"incident." So I realized that the only way they'd let me go was if
they didn't think I was mad at them. I pretended that waking up as a
girl was something that I'd always dreamed of.
Doug had only had one useful skill; (I know I said I didn't want to
talk about myself in third person, but thinking about Doug's life
really doesn't feel like I'm remembering mine) he was a first class
bullshit-artist. It's how he got to be fairly successful as a
salesman, and it's how he managed to bed a different woman every night.
Like I said before, he was pretty much a dick. However, that skill
served me well, as I cooed and squealed in delight at my new body. And
what a body it was!
The new name they'd given me wasn't the only thing that seemed to
belong on a stripper. I saw that I had an enormous pair of bazongas, a
tiny little waist, and a perfectly round little ass that you'd want to
eat off of. Long red fingernails showed off my dainty hands and
matched my sweet little tippy-toe feet. My face was beautiful, with
big twinkling eyes, a cute little nose, pouty bee-stung lips, diamond-
studded earlobes, gorgeous cheekbones, and a delicate new jawline, and
it had all been tattooed with permanent makeup to look a little too
whorish for daytime. I had dark black eyeliner, smoky eyeshadow,
bright red lips, and rouged cheeks.
I looked in a full-length mirror that had been wheeled in and was
amazed. I was really unsteady on my feet and almost fell, but someone
caught me and held me up. Who was my hero? Why none other than you,
Sweetheart, Dr. Mike Evil Bastard Andrews himself! As I saw your face
for the first time, I had an odd reaction. Even though I hated
everything about you and all that you represented, I nonetheless felt a
strong attraction to you.
This confused the hell out of me, because Doug had never been any kind
of gay and I didn't know how to relate to having sexual thoughts about
a man, plus of all the men I could have wanted, why you? It must have
been something related to all the hormones you've pumped into me.
Eventually, everyone except Rose the nice nurse cleared out of the room
and I got back into my bed. I took some medication and gradually fell
to sleep. I was still a little worried that I might not wake up again.
I had a weird dream that night. I was Doug, having that fateful last
date again, but when my date went to hand me her panties, she looked
like Aurora. Then I put them on, and so did I, and I looked back at
the girl and she was now Doug, but then he shifted into Dr. Evil
Bastard. I realized that I was only wearing a thong and moved to cover
myself, but the doctor grabbed my hands and forced me down and tore my
panties off and forced himself into me, again and again. I woke up in
a cold sweat, frightened, confused, and strangely a little horny.
Lori the night nurse noticed me on the monitor and checked to see if I
was ok. I told her I'd had a bad dream. She helped me out of bed and
got a clean nightgown for me to wear out of a chest of drawers in my
room. When she pulled the wet one off of me, I got my first good naked
look at my new body, since the mirror was still there. I was hella
sexy! My thick juicy nipples were standing up in the middle of their
perfectly circular pink areolas. There was a sparkly little gemstone
hanging off of a piercing in my navel that seemed to match my earrings.
And there was a thin little rectangle of curly brown hairs leading the
way to my new womanhood, like a red carpet laid out for special guests.
I briefly touched myself to see what my new stuff felt like, but
quickly pulled my hand away when I could actually feel my fingertip
slipping inside! I was awestruck for a moment and posed a little
before the nurse snapped me out of it. She handed me the clean gown
and I looked at it, trying to figure out how to get into it. Lori had
to show me how to pull it over my head. It was a long, silky gown with
spaghetti straps and lace trim around the cups and along the hem, in a
pale blue that made my eyes look bluer somehow. She rang for an
orderly to change my sheets.
She asked me if I'd wet the bed, and I said I didn't think so, and I
thought it was just sweat. Apparently, they'd removed my catheters
after I took my sedative so she wanted to be sure. She suggested that
I go sit on my toilet and try to see if anything would come out. It
shouldn't be too hard; I just needed to relax my muscles and let
gravity do the work. I needed her help showing me how to pull my gown
up to use the bathroom, but after a while I watched as a few golden
drops came falling out of me.
It was a very weird feeling not having anything to aim with, and the
urine felt hotter than it ever did as a male, but it felt like an
accomplishment, like I'd started breaking in my new equipment, on my
own terms. When the drops stopped, she told me to make sure to wipe
myself afterward. It was a new experience for me. I wasn't really
sure where the pee hole was, so I just gave everything in that area a
good sweeping.
To keep an accident from ruining my pretty gown, she had me pull on a
matching pair of blue panties that she'd attached a maxi-pad to. It
felt kind of weird, like wearing a diaper, but it was also reassuring
to have some bulk down there again. I tried lying on my side to go
back to sleep like Doug always used to, but the boobs just became too
noticeable smashing together so I had to try to get comfortable on my
back. I admit that I did play with my nipples a little before falling
asleep. They were very sensitive, and the silky fabric was just too
good a feeling to deny.
The next day was a very busy one for me. It started with Mama Rose (I
think that's when I started calling her that) who had volunteered to
come in early and guide me through my day, just because that's the kind
of sweet and caring woman she is. My voice still wasn't all there yet,
but she had no trouble understanding me. Since my breakfast was the
first solid food I'd be putting in my stomach in two years, it was very
light and soft: some applesauce, a small portion of something
pretending to be scrambled eggs, some fruity-tasting yogurty stuff that
was supposed to replenish my intestinal flora, and a small cup of
cranberry juice.
Then I got out of bed and she showed me that there were rails I could
hang onto in my shower so I wouldn't have to worry about falling down,
but she'd be listening outside the bathroom door just in case. I had
some gentle soap that smelled like flowers, a nice big washcloth, and a
bottle each of salon-grade shampoo and conditioner. It was very
soothing to let the warm water flow all over me, so I probably took
longer than I needed to, but she didn't say anything. I also did waste
some time exploring myself more completely.
There was still a little tenderness down there from where the catheter
had been, but there were plenty more other areas down there where my
fingers could wander. I ran my fingers softly along the edges of my
lady lips, back and forth, enjoying the sensation as I built up enough
nerve to deliberately touch myself on the inside. I ran my finger
along the seam, back and forth, pushing a little more harder on each
pass, until it broke through and parted the flaps, then I gently began
caressing the inside of my pussy.
While I worked a couple fingers inside, I just sort of let my thumb
wander and let me tell you, when I found my new "magic button" it felt
so incredible that I almost didn't regret what you had done to me. I
teased it with my thumb and index finger, and let a few other fingers
slip in and out down below. The other hand started to feel left out so
it decided to play with a nipple, at first just giving it a little
pinch and squeezing it between two fingers, but then I found that a
circular kneading of the entire breast, touching the nipple only
occasionally instead of constantly, worked better.
As I was being flooded with stimulation, I worked all my fingers faster
and faster, harder and harder, deeper and deeper. I had my first
orgasm as a woman right there in the shower, and remembering it right
now gets me so hot that maybe I'm masturbating right now while I've
been describing it to you. You're probably thinking about being
aroused yourself, aren't you?
Too bad you can't feel your body now; it's got to make you wonder
whether I left you any parts to get aroused with. Or you weren't
wondering that until I just mentioned it. Did I spoil the mood?
Sorry, Honey. Sometimes I just get a little ahead of myself. We'll be
getting to what happened to you later. We're still talking about me
now.
After giving myself the most amazing sexual stimulation I'd ever had
(at that point) I remembered what I was supposed to be doing and after
taking a moment for the weakness in my knees to go away, I started
washing my hair. Doug had never grown his hair long, not even as a
rebellious teenager, so it was yet another new experience for me. I
think it was the first time I ever obeyed the directions on a shampoo
bottle: I lathered, rinsed, and repeated. Then I did my best with the
conditioner, although I think I might have used too much.
After my final rinse, I turned the water off and when I opened the
curtain Mama Rose was waiting there with a giant fluffy bath towel to
dry me off. I thought she was going to show me how to do thing where
girls wrap towels around themselves and tuck the end into their
cleavage to hold it there, but instead she pulled the towel away when I
was dry and helped me into a short pink terrycloth robe, and gave me a
bottle of lotion that I was supposed to rub in all over, to keep my
skin moist or something. It had the same kind of flowery scent as the
soap, and spreading it all over my luscious flesh made me feel even
more girly, if that was possible.
Then I got to learn how to blow-dry the billowing blonde mass atop my
head. When my hair had been completely dried and brushed into
something resembling manageable, she had me style it by simply pulling
it back into a ponytail and securing it with this big fancy barrette.
I didn't need any makeup, but she thought I might like a fragrance, so
she sprayed me with some of her cologne while I was figuring out how to
use my roll-on deodorant. We talked about what kind of look I wanted
for my first real day as a woman, and I opted not to go for the casual
comfortable look she was recommending, theorizing that the transsexual
I was pretending to be would have wanted to make a big splash at her
unveiling in an outfit that was pretty and feminine.
My next first for the day was putting on my first bra. It was baby
pink, with lightly padded cups so my nipples wouldn't poke anyone's eye
out, a good strong underwire, and a sprinkling of white lace around the
edges. I peeked at the tag to see what size I wore and it read "40DD."
Rose showed me how to loosely settle my basketballs into place, and
then reach around behind me to hook the ends together, making sure I
got all the hooks, then I had to go back and arrange the straps and the
cups so that everybody was in their right position. It wasn't a push-
up bra, but it wasn't full-coverage either, so it revealed a decent
amount of cleavage, which gave me an odd sense of pride.
The matching panties sat low on my hips, which felt weird. I couldn't
see, but I was pretty sure they were revealing some cleavage of their
own in the back. Then she put me in a pale fuchsia gauzy wrap dress,
which fortunately was lined so I didn't need a slip. She tied it
tightly around my waist behind me and there was a lot of sash left
over, so she had to double-knot it. She thought my legs were good
enough that I could skip hosiery my first day, and helped me into a
cute pair of leather sandals. I found them very comfortable even
though they had three-inch heels. Something about the surgery you had
done to make my feet smaller changed the shape of the arch so I fit
better into heels than flats. Thanks for that, Dear.
She explained that I had a lot of appointments to attend, and since I
wasn't quite ready for all that walking, I got to ride in a wheelchair.
I felt bad that she had to push me around, but she said that it was her
job and she'd had to push plenty of people heavier than me, so it
wasn't a big deal. I gave her a hug and said it was a big deal to me.
My first appointment was with Dr. Powell, the plastic surgeon who'd
done most of my alterations. He listed all the operations he'd done on
me, and showed me some "before and after" photos that were taken for
the various steps along the way. I wondered if he had one from right
after the accident, since I was curious just how extensive the damage
was, but he didn't. He had me take off my panties and sit on an
examination table, putting my feet up in stirrups. I felt weird
showing my womanhood to a man, but he was the guy who built it, so I
guess that made it ok.
Using a hand mirror, he showed me my new girl bits in vivid detail.
Since I'd been comatose for two years since he'd made my vagina, he
hadn't been able to do his normal post-op test to see what level of
sensation I had. I blushed and told him that I'd already checked some
myself, and was very impressed with his work. But he had to test
anyway. He touched me in several places with this special stick and
asked if I could feel it. I could feel most of his probing, and was
very embarrassed that some of them were turning me on, particularly
this one point where he had the probe way up inside me and was rubbing
it around.
He told me that I had near-perfect sensitivity, and an excellent
lubrication reaction. Because he'd used a section of my intestine to
make it, it was capable of producing mucus in response to stimulation,
and so with enough foreplay I wouldn't need any bottled lubricants when
the time came that I was ready for sex. The whole thing sounded really
disgusting, but I lied and looked happy and told him I was eager to
take it for a test drive, and flirted with him asking if he was
available. He got a little flustered, which was fun, but he said he
was married and it was unethical. I giggled to let him know I was just
kidding around. It was nice to know that some doctors actually have
scruples.
He showed me how to dilate myself and I pretended to be interested. Of
course, I don't need to explain the process to you, since you were
responsible for dilating me while I was sleeping. But then, you chose
to dilate me with a penis, you raping asshole! He did mention that I'd
need to keep at it regularly even if I were to become sexually active,
since intercourse wouldn't be enough to maintain my depth. I'm not
sure how you managed it, but maintaining my depth was the last thing on
my mind at that point so I didn't press the issue. He handed me a
leaflet describing how to do some exercises to strengthen my bladder
muscles which had probably weakened somewhat, gave me his card in case
I had any questions, and then let me put my panties back on and called
Rose in to take me to my next appointment.
I then went to a meeting with the Chief, Dr. Bernard, and his lawyer,
Todd Cooper. They explained my legal situation, all the stuff I
already knew about the insurance settlement, as well as explaining all
the forms that had been filed to obtain my new identity. If I wanted a
copy of my new birth certificate, I'd have to go to the county records
office. Remember that; it's important later. I asked them if there
was some sort of official document I could use that would prove I'm the
person who used to be Douglas Connors, for dealing with things like
getting at my bank accounts, and they said that was a good idea and
they'd put something together before I was released.
I was curious what they'd done with my, that is Doug's, personal
effects. They told me they were in a box in a basement filing room,
but they could have it brought to my room if I wanted. They need a
patient's permission to throw things out. I thanked them for the
excellent treatment, and asked if I was going to be getting an enormous
bill for it all, but they told me what I already knew about it being
covered by your insurance scam, although they didn't call it that.
I asked if they had a contact number for the insurance company, so I
could see about getting my car repaired, and by the way did they know
what had happened to my car? They gave me Larry's business card, but
said they didn't know what happened to my car and I should contact the
police to see if they had it in impound or if it had been scrapped.
That addressed most of my issues, so I let them take back control of
the meeting. I don't think they even noticed that I'd been driving it.
The main thing they wanted was for me to sign a consent form,
officially giving them permission to do all things they'd already done.
They just wanted their collective asses covered. Once I signed that, I
couldn't sue them for destroying my life. I carefully read it over
three times to make sure I wasn't waiving my right to go after them for
malpractice if it turned out any of the procedures was done improperly.
I wasn't completely comfortable with my new hands yet, so I asked for a
blank piece of paper to practice my signature.
I started cautiously, by holding the pen in my fist like little kids
do, and spelled my name out in capital letters A U R O R A. Then I had
a realization. I had to ask them if I had a middle name. Nobody had
told me what my full name was. Dr. Bernard told me it was "Briarose,"
and wrote it out on his pad to show me how to spell it. I asked where
that weird name came from, hoping I wasn't named after his grandmother
or something, and he told me that was the name Sleeping Beauty
sometimes uses in the fairy tales.
I wrote that out in block letters under my first name and then my last
name on the next line and after looking at them I started laughing
uncontrollably or at least as well as I could with my voice still all
hoarse and whispery. The chief thought I was having some kind of
seizure, but I forced myself to calm down and show him that I'd just
realized that writing my initials would now be as easy as "A.B.C." He
chuckled a little. I tried holding the pen the right way, and my
writing was ugly, but you could sort of tell what it said. He told me
that I was already scheduled with a physical therapist, who would help
me work on getting my penmanship up, but a sloppy signature would be ok
on this document; no one but them would ever need to see it. I did my
best to sign it, feeling confident that it would mean they'd have no
reason to kill me.
After that, I got taken for my first meeting with Dr. Baker. Back when
I was Doug, I'd never had occasion to see a psychiatrist so I was a
little nervous. I knew she was in the business of seeing through
people's bullshit, so I'd have a hard time trying to trick her. I
decided I'd try to limit myself to making statements that were more or
less honest. She looked like a tough old broad who had been there, so
I tried to seem to confide in her. Rose rolled me in and left and I
felt a little abandoned. Dr. Baker told me she'd read my file, and
found my case to be extraordinary. I told her it all still hadn't
quite set in, and I felt like I was caught in some kind of dream
wondering if I'd wake up.
She asked me about my family, and whether I had any really good friends
or other close relationships. I asked her if it was in my file whether
I had any visitors while I was sleeping for two years, because I
wouldn't have expected any. I told her that after my folks died, I
really hadn't made any real connections to people. I think I held
everyone at arm's length. There always seemed to be something missing.
I didn't get more specific, but I let the doctor infer that I was
talking about the whole transgender thing without actually lying to
her.
She did ask about when the first time I remembered feeling feminine,
and I told her a true story of once when I was nine I got sent to stay
with relatives for the summer, and I used to dress up in my cousin's
clothes and have tea parties with her. She called me "Debbie." I
didn't tell the shrink that my cousin was bigger and older than me and
forced me to beg her to let me be a girl. All in all, I think the
session went well. I let enough real stuff out that it actually seemed
to do me good.
I got wheeled back to my room for lunch, which was still really mild,
soft food and then I had my first session with Bonnie Davis my speech
therapist. She had me start by gargling with this special solution.
She made me repeat until everything got loosened up enough that my
vocal cords started making noise during the gargle. Then she had me
hum for a bit, starting from a relaxed tone and then sliding up the
scale. It was a little scary to me how high I could go without
breaking into a falsetto.
Finally it was ready for me to actually start talking. It was very
weird hearing my new voice for the first time. I said "Hello, my name
is Aurora," and it shocked me how naturally female I sounded. All this
time, the inner voice that I'd been talking to myself with hadn't
changed. In my head I still sounded like Doug, but in my ear I heard
Aurora, and it took me a very long time for that difference to go away.
Bonnie had me do a few more exercises and then gave me a booklet with
some tips on the differences between male and female speech, and a
little recorder that I could practice with.
I had a little accident after that. I think it must have been the
stuff she made me drink. I felt the urge to go to the bathroom but
couldn't hold it tightly enough and wet my pants a little. I was
really embarrassed and nearly cried, but Rose tried to cheer me up by
saying it was no big deal; my muscles just needed time to get back in
shape, and I had to change for my physical therapy appointment anyway.
I was just glad I was wearing a pad and didn't ruin my pretty dress ?
the moment I realized that was what I was thinking, I actually did
break down and cry. Hormones can really fuck you up.
She had me undress completely and put on clean cotton hipster panties
and a sports bra that strapped everything down and kept my coconuts
from bouncing around too much. Over that went a pair of powder blue
low-rise yoga pants, and a lime green cropped tank top that showed off
my navel piercing. Plain white ankle socks and pink canvas sneakers
went on my feet. Rose had me take out the barrette and redo my
ponytail a little higher up on my head using a cute blue scrunchie
instead, and I was ready for my workout.
My first impression of Stefan the physical therapist was that he was an
enormous scary bald black man with muscles on top of his muscles. I
was worried that he was going to hurt me, or yell at me like a drill
sergeant, or worse. But when I got to know his soft voice and gentle
touch, I realized that first impressions don't always tell you much.
Of course my first impression of you from your voice alone was that you
were a twisted creep, so sometimes you can size someone up accurately
from the get go.
That Frankensteiny thing you did with the electric shocks did a good
job at maintaining my muscle tone, so my therapy wasn't about
rebuilding strength; I just needed a lot of work at coordinating the
new shape of everything, and dealing with the change in how gravity
affected me. I had to start by learning to walk all over again. He
put me on a treadmill with bars to hold if I felt myself falling, and
started really slowly. He didn't want me tiptoeing, but my feet didn't
want to sit flat on the floor. It was too hard for me.
I said my other shoes were more comfortable, so Rose asked if she could
fetch a pair of heels for me to try wearing instead, and he said it was
ok as long as they were wedges and not stilettos so they wouldn't
puncture his machine. She came back with these darling slingbacks that
looked intimidating in their steepness, but felt heavenly when I put
them on. I wobbled a little though, and he explained that I was
standing all wrong.
He said I was standing like a guy just all hunched over and sloppily
relaxed, when I needed to be carrying myself like a lady, with my back
slightly arched and my neck held high and I shouldn't be afraid to
stick out my chest and tilt back my hips and let the world see the
goddess I truly am. And then he demonstrated the difference for me and
he went from his "goddess" pose into a fierce strut around the room
like a true diva, and I cracked up laughing. But he really helped me
gain poise and put me back on that treadmill and got me to wiggle my
sexy ass when I moved, which really did improve my balance.
It would be a few more weeks of therapy before I was walking like I was
born into this body, but that first day really broke the ice and made
me accept my new lot in life. The therapy for my hands was a lot
harder. There was this cool room that looked kind of like a movie
studio, with all kinds of environments to practice life skills in:
there was a half of a car on one side, and a little piece of a kitchen
on another, and a pretend restaurant booth, and an office cubicle. I
had to practice writing over and over again, with breaks where I got to
work at typing on a computer and dialing a phone and sewing (even
though Doug would have had trouble fixing a button) and eating with
tableware and using various kitchen utensils. For some odd reason, I
seemed to have a real aptitude for learning how to use chopsticks.
My reward for being a good trooper through my physical therapy session
was a luxurious whirlpool bath. All those little bubbles were just so
relaxing, and the jets worked my sore muscles until I just wanted to
flop around like a rag doll. I was a little embarrassed when I needed
Stefan's help to get out of the tub, but he told me not to worry; he
was a professional and besides he'd never cheat on his boyfriend. When
I realized I was a little disappointed to find out that he was gay, I
got even more confused. Did I want Stefan to be attracted to me, or
not?
I was never around gay guys before, but now I want one to find me
attractive? Is it because I want to be a man, and a gay guy would only
want a man, so if he wants me it means some of me is manly? Or do I
want him to want me because I want him in the way that a woman wants a
man? If I admit that I do does that make me gay? Does it
retroactively make Doug gay? Whatever the answer, it's certainly a
waste of those muscles. I hope his boyfriend appreciates what we're
missing.
Rose wrapped me in my big fluffy robe and took me back to my room. I
decided to go with a casual outfit. I figured jeans and a t-shirt
would feel somehow familiar, and make my life a little less crazy. Big
mistake. Rose insisted that Visible Panty Lines were the greatest sin
a lady could commit and had me wear a thong under my jeans. This tiny
piece of red fabric was the scariest thing I'd worn so far. A thong
got me into this mess, and I was shaking when I put one on for the
second time in my life. It fit much too well, and wasn't uncomfortable
like I'd been expecting.
The matching bra was lightly padded so my nipples wouldn't show under
my shirt, and fastened in the front, which was a plus, but it also had
a little bit of a push-up action going on and gave be a sexy amount of
cleavage. And the dark purple t-shirt I picked turned out to have a
deep scoopneck, so everyone got a great view.
Rose had me put on my first nylons, a pair of suntan knee-highs and
then helped me pull on and zip up my stonewashed light blue jeans,
since they were so tight I had trouble getting them on by myself with
my long fingernails. I almost gave up and took them off, but then I
looked over my shoulder and saw how incredible my ass looked in the
mirror, so I kept them on.
I looked like the kind of girl that Doug would have wanted to take
home, back when there was a Doug. I shook away that idea and focused
more on how much I enjoyed looking sexy. There's only one thing that
makes a girl in jeans look better, and I found a pair of burgundy
calfskin boots in my closet that were smoking hot, and made me even
hotter once we got them on! I let my hair down, shook it out, and
fluffed it up with my fingers into a sort of loose mass that didn't
look too harsh.
I looked in the mirror and saw a really sexy chick. If only she was
wearing big hoop earrings, she'd look like a typical party girl you'd
find in almost any bar. I must have spoken that out loud, because Rose
said that she thought I had some in my jewelry box. She helped me
change out my diamond studs into three-inch gold hoop earrings, and
found a cute little circular pendant on a gold chain that complemented
them nicely. She even changed the charm on my belly-button to
something that matched, since my shirt stopped early and my jeans
started late, revealing a fair amount of my cute little tummy.
I looked at Aurora in the mirror, and she really looked like a girl who
was out for some fun. She smiled at me and did a kind of wiggly little
dance, and I was completely taken out of the moment. But then a
thought wandered through my head that brought me back down to Earth.
Where did I get a fully stocked jewelry box? And why did I have such
an extensive wardrobe hanging in my closet? I asked Rose and she told
me what I should have already figured out, (but the person I was
pretending to be couldn't have guessed, so it actually helped with my
charade) that as the one in charge of my case you had made certain that
I had everything a woman would need waiting for me when I woke up.
Now since you weren't planning on my ever waking up, I'll bet you got
me expensive things so that not only would you pad your receipts and
pocket extra money when reporting it to your little pal Larry the
insurance guy, but you'd also be fetching a pretty penny when you sold
my stuff after you'd killed me. I wasn't real sure how to react. I
asked Rose if I could get a meeting with you to say thanks for
everything, figuring that I'd better be showing some gratitude if I
wanted this ruse to work.
I really didn't want to get back in bed so early, so I convinced her to
let me eat my dinner sitting in the chair in my room instead. I sat
with my legs neatly crossed, and she rolled my little lap table over.
I turned on the TV to watch the news while I ate, and it suddenly
dawned on me how much I'd missed while I was sleeping. Twenty-eight
months of stuff had happened in the world and I didn't know any of it.
Everything had just passed me by, and now I had a lot of catching up to
do. It was baseball season and not only didn't I know how my team was
doing, but I also didn't even know who'd won the last two World Series.
Or is that Serieses? Serii?
Anyway, I couldn't ask anyone about it or pay too much attention to the
scores, or it would damage my charade as a girly-girl with no masculine
qualities, grateful to finally have a body that matched my brain. But
it didn't really match, and there was too much news for me to process
all at once, and I started thinking about how everyone I knew had been
living their lives for a couple years while my life had been on hold.
I was overwhelmed and just cried my eyes out over my Jell-o.
Rose tried to comfort me, but I just told her that I realized how much
I'd missed. She wanted me to turn it off, but I insisted on leaving it
on. I needed to catch up. The more I watched, the more familiar it
all seemed. The politicians were still screwing the people. Hollywood
was still making a lot of crappy movies, and some stupid celebrities
were caught doing stupid things. There were disasters and plagues and
poverty all over, but people were coping. It was like the scripts were
the same, but only the names were changed. It was just like all my
other therapies: everything was the same, but everything was also
completely different from how it used to be. After dinner, I took out
my notepad and practiced my penmanship, while simultaneously working on
my speaking voice by copying the tone and rhythm of the newslady.
When it was time for lights out, Rose helped me change my clothes,
showing me the hamper in my closet where my dirty laundry needed to go.
My clothes were cleaned by a service that came by to collect them every
week, which was probably yet another one of those payments that you'd
arranged so you could skim a little for yourself. I owned many very
beautiful nightgowns but picked a simple white cotton sleeveless one
that had some cute eyelet lace trim. I put on the plainest pair of
white panties I could find, which were still rather lacy, and wore a
pad just in case. Rose showed me that I needed to swap out my earrings
for some smaller sleeper hoops that wouldn't come off if I tossed and
turned, and helped me brush my hair before going to bed. I thanked her
for working an extra-long day for me.
She gave me some medication to help me sleep. It took me a while to
find a comfortable position. I finally ended up sleeping on my left
side, but then I had to figure out where to put my left arm so it
wouldn't be squashed by my gigantic breasts, at least they still seemed
gigantic to me back then. I started with my arm up beneath my neck,
but then my hand sort of flopped over naturally and landed on my chest.
I sort of absently smoothed down my nightgown, and noticed an
interesting sensation when I brushed over where my nipple was covered
by the thin fabric. I ran my hand over it a couple more times, and
then starting making little circles when she stood up and took notice.
I then realized that there were buttons down the front of my gown, and
frantically worked with both hands to open them. Once I got my hand
inside, I started rubbing harder faster, squeezing and pinching every
so often. I licked my fingers to make it go smoother, and then brought
my other hand into play on my other breast, kneading and swirling,
tickling and fondling, faster and faster. And then it happened. For
the first time in my life, I came without my genitals being involved at
all. I was overwhelmed. If it was that intense just by myself, I
could barely wait to find out what actual sex would feel like, to have
a big strong man on top of me, thrusting himself inside me, to bring me
to the pinnacle of ecstasy, over and over again.
My sedative started kicking in before I could really process that
thought, so I didn't have time to freak out over fantasizing about
wanting to have sex with a guy. It was a little embarrassing when the
nurse came in and woke me up the next morning, and I had my hand stuck
in my cleavage, squashed between warm mounds of flesh.
Now I probably could continue my story by going through each day one at
a time, describing how things went for me at the hospital, and as much
as the anticipation would torture you as you wondered how long it was
going to take before I explain what brought you to your current
situation, frankly I just don't have that kind of time. So I'll
summarize a bit to make it easier. But there's still some important
background details about how I was feeling then that are necessary for
you to understand, so I won't be skipping ahead to the part you care
about too quickly. It's pretty much a win-win all around.
Most of the next few days were basically the same. Between my really
long physical therapy sessions I'd get a break for lunch and another
break for session with either the speech therapist or the psychiatrist,
and then it was back to practicing things that I used to be able to do
effortlessly like walking and writing. It was very frustrating, and I
usually had at least one emotional breakdown a day. Progress was slow,
but it was progress. My walk had become confident and sexy, and my
small hands and long nails weren't feeling quite as foreign to me.
I put all my energy into making sure I never broke character. I buried
all of Doug's real personality and focused on becoming the girliest
girl that ever girled. As the days went by, I grew less dependent on
the nurses to help me pick out what to wear. Through watching
television and reading fashion magazines from the newsstand, I was
getting better at putting an outfit together, and learning ways to
arrange my hair. I was adding more and more feminine mannerisms to my
persona, and my language became more female both in style and
vocabulary.
I wasn't under any more direct medical care, so they transferred me to
a room in their outpatient facility, but they wouldn't discharge me
until they all agreed that I was ready. Dr. Baker thought I needed to
start making arrangements for my life after the hospital, so I figured
I'd start by trying to see what pieces of Doug's life could be
salvaged. I called Larry, and he seemed a little nervous to be talking
to me. He was probably worrying about whether I knew what you
encouraged him to do to me.
After he looked up my file, he told me that my car had been totaled,
and that the insurance settlement would cover my replacement cost, but
that wouldn't be very much since my car had been so old. A little bit
of Doug crept back in as I told him that my 1972 Impala was a classic,
not old. That car was the only one I ever owned. It had been my
dad's, and he gave it to me when I graduated high school, but he was a
car guy and a mechanical engineer, so it was still running like it was
fresh from the factory when he gave it to me. When he was drinking,
he'd joke that that was the car I was conceived in, and if I kept it
maintained it could be the car I ride in to my funeral. (The coffin
would go on the roof or something; I didn't always get his jokes.)
I'm pretty sure I was a disappointment to him when I didn't inherit his
way around machines. But I did have a way around people, so I had a
great guy who kept my baby running for me. That car had been my last
real connection to my father, and now it was gone. I didn't realize I
was crying until Larry offered to give me a minute on hold to collect
myself. I'm not sure if these were more hormonal tears, or if I was
finally appreciating what had been lost.
When Larry came back he ran through the rest of my financial situation.
Since they didn't know how long I'd be comatose, after a couple months
they stopped paying my rent, and had everything in my apartment boxed
up and put into storage. He gave me the address of the storage center,
and said that my name was on the contract, so they'd let me in with
valid ID. All my utilities had been cancelled as well as my credit
cards, since I hadn't been running a balance. My bank accounts were
still good. All in all it was a mixed blessing, but I thanked Larry
and hung up.
It was on the sixth day that I'd been awake when I finally got my
meeting with you. I put a lot of effort into looking nice for you. It
made me want to vomit, but I knew that the person I was pretending to
be would have wanted to thank you for making her into the woman she
always wanted to be, and would have wanted to look her best when she
did it. But since I had secret knowledge about what you'd done, I was
able to play to your weaknesses. Namely, I knew that you'd gotten used
to having sex with me regularly so these few days off might have you
missing it.
I was planning on flirting with you, so I had to psyche myself up more
that I'd ever been before. I started my sexy look from the inside out,
with a white lace balconette bra that presented my luscious melons in
an appealing fashion, with a tiny matching thong panty that was barely
more than a kiss of lace. Even though I'd been taught how to put on
pantyhose, I chose to go with a garter belt and stockings, just to feel
that much sexier. I didn't want to go too over the top, so I went with
suntan-colored stockings instead of the seamed black ones I tried on
first; I thought they would be pushing it for daytime, especially with
my three-inch pumps.
I slithered into this gorgeous white lace slip ? whoever you hired to
buy my clothes has exquisite taste, by the way ? and then pulled my
dress over my head. I'm sure you remember that blue silk dress that
was made to drape perfectly around all my curves, with a handkerchief
hem that danced around my knees and a neckline that revealed just
enough to hold your attention. I wore dangling crystal earrings and a
coordinating pendant that would catch the light and maintain my
cleavage as the focal point of the outfit. I did my hair up in a
simple loose twist.
A spritz of my favorite perfume in all the right strategic locations
and I was almost ready to go. Even though my permanent makeup tattoos
mean I don't need to wear lipstick, I had one of the volunteers run
down to the drugstore and get me a tube of sparkly lipgloss, so my lips
would shine wetly for you. From what I was able to overhear, the one
sex act you could never get my comatose body to do for you was oral,
and I wanted to tease you with the idea of my mouth. The whole look
was proably a little too much for a professional appointment, but it
wasn't qute an outfit ready for a night on the town.
When I got to your office, I could tell that my plan was definitely
working. Your door was open, but I knocked on it anyway, and when you
looked up you had to take a few seconds before you could blink and say
something. I had to put all thoughts of your Evil Bastardity out of my
head and just try to look flirtatious. I'll admit that it was easy to
pretend to be attracted to such a tasty slice of man-cake.
You did a decent job pretending yourself, as you got up like a proper
gentleman when a lady entered the room instead of a miserable excuse of
a human being. You offered me a seat and I smiled my cutest smile,
showing off Dr. Powell's dimples. I made sure to lean forward as I sat
to give you a deep look at my chest. I "accidentally" glanced at your
lap and "unconsciously" licked my lips before you returned to your
chair. I don't really need to tell you what we talked about, since you
were there, but I will say that I was impressed with how organized you
were.
When I started asking questions like could I get the name of the
stylist who'd been doing my hair so I could get some more ideas for how
to arrange it, you handed me this ten-page document with all the
contact information for everyone who'd worked on "The Aurora Project"
as the cover titled it, from the surgeons to the people who did my hair
removal to the tattoo artists and hairdressers who gave me my look, all
the way down to the stores where my clothes, shoes and jewelry came
from as well as the seamstresses who'd done alterations.
There was even an appendix that listed all my sizes. I learned that my
measurements were 46-24-40, and I was still 5'9", but now I only
weighed 148 ? I'd lost about thirty pounds! I wore size 9B shoes, and
as I already noted my bras were 40DD, but my clothes were all different
sizes. I took a 20 or 2X top, but a 12 or Large bottom, although in
full skirts it said I could wear a 4 or Small, and with dresses it said
sometimes a 16 or XL fits. My panties were a 7 in hipster but a 5 in
thong, and my hosiery was usually size C/D. Women's sizes still baffle
me, even today! I almost caught you a couple of times watching me
while I read, but I was actually too interested in finding out all
about the new me.
When I told you how impressed I was with your thoroughness and you said
it was because the hospital was considering offering the same treatment
as an elective for other transsexuals, to induce coma and have them
wake up after an extended period of time in their new bodies. They
were thinking of calling it "The Sleeping Beauty Treatment." Then you
asked that since I was the pilot project, would I be willing to offer a
testimonial, and it started sinking in. The little secret smile you
got when you mentioned doing what you did for me to other patients ?
you were planning on raping them as well, and who knows what else!
Even if these potential patients were a bunch of screwed-up fruits that
want to become women, they didn't deserve what you did to me. I knew
right then and there that I had to stop you, and I was afraid for a
moment that my resolve would show on my face, so I quickly shifted my
expression so the intensity would appear to be overjoyed glee. I
clapped my hands together, giving my boobs a little squeeze between my
arms as I did so, and told you that sounded like a great idea ? more
lost souls should be allowed to live my fairytale. I thanked you for
everything, and surprised you with a hug as I was leaving, pressing all
of my soft parts against your hard and hardening ones.
I then shyly apologized and said that I hoped I wasn't violating some
hospital code of ethics, and then you, sly dog that you are, pointed
out that I wasn't actually your patient anymore so you could even take
me out to dinner once I was out of the hospital, and before I knew it
I'd accepted a date with you. It wasn't because I got all tingly
inside when I held you; you just caught be by surprise; that's all it
was. I allowed my flusteredness to show, since it fit with my charade,
but I went to look like I was trying to cover it up by asking you
whether you ask all your patients who are naturally female out on dates
too.
Your line about how I always was a woman and all you'd done is make the
outside match the person I was on the inside was smoother than any line
Doug had ever used, and I'm sure it would have worked if I'd been who I
was pretending to be. Just because I left your office wondering what
it would feel like to kiss you doesn't mean it worked; that was only my
damned hormones talking.
I guess the next important event was when I got permission to leave the
hospital grounds for brief periods of time, and finally got up the
nerve to open my box of personal effects. There laid out before me were
Doug's remains, at least that's how I though of it. It had a shirt, a
jacket, a pair of jeans, and that fateful thong that were all torn,
blood-stained and sealed in plastic bags.
There was my wallet, that still had a few bucks in it, along with a
bunch of credit cards that had been cancelled, a driver's license with
a picture of a guy who didn't exist anymore, and my old Lucky Rubber
that I really didn't need anymore - this body would never need a good
luck charm in order to get laid. My checkbook was in there, for a bank
account that still existed, but with the wrong name and address printed
on them, and I had two sets of useless keys: one for a car that didn't
exist anymore, and one for an apartment I didn't live in anymore. It
really hit hard and sent me into another crying jag.
To take some focus off Doug's old life and shift it back to my new one,
I called my beautician and arranged to go to her salon. Kelly was
great. She showed me how I could cover my permanent tattoos with
makeup to change my look for various situations. I was surprised by
how much hotter my evening face got just by thickening my eyelashes
with a little bit of mascara. And it was weird how much fake "natural"
stuff I had to use to look like I wasn't wearing anything. But my
favorite look was halfway in between everything and nothing, that said
I wanted to look glamorous but wasn't on the make, like a professional
businesswoman or a rich housewife at a luncheon.
I told her I was fairly satisfied with my hairstyle, so she just gave
me a little trim to fix any split ends and a touch up of my highlights
and then she taught me a few more ways to wear my hair. When I left I
was in an elegant French braid that was useful for keeping it out of
the way during my afternoon session with Stefan, and I was carrying a
shopping bag in each hand filled with cosmetics and accessories. So
now hair and makeup became another thing to practice everyday.
When I reached a level of confidence with my makeup skills, I arranged
a meeting with the boss at my old job. Since I said what a great
salesman Doug was you probably figured he dealt in used cars or
something, but actually I worked at Edwin Machinery selling industrial
equipment to manufacturers. Now those big hydraulic presses may not
sound as sexy as cars, but let me tell you there's a lot more money to
be made, and companies are willing to spend much more than the average
consumer. I never went into engineering like my dad wanted, but he did
teach me how to talk to engineers.
The Sales Manager Sam Gardner seemed to already know a little something
about my situation, because when I said I was Aurora Connors and I'd
like a meeting, he sort of knew what it was about. I wore my apple
green pencil skirt with matching fitted blazer over a black camisole
top. I opted for nude hose and my lowest black pumps. (It amazed me
how much fashion vocabulary I'd absorbed in such a short amount of
time.) I put my hair up in a tight bun and toned down my makeup. My
jewelry was minimal: a gold bracelet watch, triangular hoop earrings,
and a simple chain necklace. I looked about as conservative as this
pinup body you gave me can get.
I was very nervous in the cab ride over. This would be the first time
someone would be seeing me as Aurora who had known me as Doug. When I
walked in, I saw that they'd hired a different receptionist since I was
there last. She looked at me funny; I think she was sizing up the
competition. I gave my name and she had me wait while she called Sam.
He must have been telling her something about me, because while she had
him on the line she looked over at me and got a really confused look,
and said "Really?" three or four times and kept glancing over at me
even after she hung up. A few minutes later Sam came down and I
stood up. I said "Hi, Sam. My name's Aurora." and he blinked a few
times then whispered a "wow" I don't think I was supposed to hear, and
finally greeted me then took me to his office, guiding me with his hand
on my back, even though I knew where we were going.
As we passed, the cubicle prairie dogs would all pop their heads up to
look at the visitor. I suspect that word had already circulated about
the tranny coming to visit, and they all wanted a peek at the freak.
In Sam's office, he showed me to a chair and closed the door. I told
him that I didn't expect that my job was still open, since I was in a
coma for a couple of years and they'd have long since covered my
territory, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. He said they didn't
have any positions available, and I said I understood; the customers
probably wouldn't take me seriously anyway, since I looked like such a
bimbo.
That seemed to break the ice, and soon we were laughing and reminiscing
about old times, and I got caught up on how things were going with the
company, and asked how his family was doing. He asked me some
questions about my new body, and I answered as discretely as I could.
I got him to agree to write a reference for me, and I asked what
happened to the personal items I'd left in my workspace; I had a couple
photos of my folks there that I didn't have copies of. Sam said that
Sally in Human Resources had a box with my things, as well as some
forms for me to sign. I thanked him for seeing me and impulsively gave
him a hug on my way out.
On my way down to HR, I poked my head in just to say hi to a few of my
old coworkers. I repeated the same things a few times, confirming the
rumors as I casually greeted them. When I got to Bill Jessup, the
closest thing I'd had to a friend at the office, I stayed a little
longer. He'd been given some of my old sales territory, and after
questioning him a little it seemed like a few of my favorite customers
were stringing him along to try to get better deals. I also flirted a
little and learned that he still wasn't married and didn't have a
steady girlfriend; his views on romance were a lot like Doug used to
have.
I impetuously made him an offer: I needed some practice dating, so if
he'd agree to go out for lunch with me that Saturday, I'd give him all
my insight into my former customers. He tried to nonchalantly look me
over, but I could tell that he though that I was sex on heels, so he of
course agreed to my scheme. We picked a time and a restaurant, and I
gave him a light kiss on the cheek. I could tell he was having trouble
realizing that the hot chick who'd just made a date with him was also
his old buddy Doug, so I slowly walked out, then quickly turned my head
and winked as I caught him checking out my seductively swaying
derriere.
My meeting with HR went fairly smoothly, even if Sally did look like
she'd been chewing lemons. She hated her job, because it forced her to
be tolerant of those whose lifestyles she looked down upon. Judging by
her expression I'd guess that included transsexuals. She had some
forms for me related to terminating my participation in the company
retirement plan. When I figured out which bank or fund I wanted my
monies moved to, I was to send the forms back to her. There was
another legal form I had to put my Jane Hancock on that said I bore the
company no malice for letting me go, and that I would not disclose any
trade secrets. My signature was still a little sloppy, but it was
legible, and slightly feminine.
Then she gave me a copier paper box containing Doug's personal things.
I peeked to make sure it was the right box and thanked her. I made
sure to put some extra goddess into my strut as I walked out, just to
show her I was proud of who I am. I went back to the lobby and asked
the receptionist to call me a cab. We chatted a little while I was
waiting, and I told her that the rumors were true; when I used to work
there I was a guy named Doug. She found that hard to believe and said
I was too pretty to have ever been a man, and it was another one of
those little surprises to myself that I liked the idea of being pretty.
I thanked her for her compliment, and even gave her a little hug when
my cab showed up.
Around about that time, Dr. Baker signed me up for a transsexual
support group. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but she made it
a condition for my release, so I went. I wanted to feel really girly,
so I put together a cute outfit of a yellow sundress with spaghetti
strings so I needed to wrestle my girls into a strapless bra, a
matching yellow ribbon in my hair, and my favorite wedge sandals. I
toned down my makeup with neutral foundation and some bubblegum pink
lipstick, and went with a pair of little gold butterflies in my ears
and a cross pendant on a gold chain. (I was never all that religious,
but I thought the cross added a sweet hint of innocence, and it
couldn't hurt just in case God really was watching.)
I arrived early to meet the therapist, Anita Radcliffe, first. She
dressed well in tailored suits and had a lot of skill at using her
makeup to appear younger than her fiftyish age, but her large facial
features, hands and shoulders made it obvious that she used to be, or
maybe still was, a man. Her coppery wig was probably quality but it
still stuck out as a wig, and her small bust was fairly sad. I
nervously introduced myself and she limply shook my hand and said that
I looked nice, and that my doctor had given her a little background
about me, and I told her I was having a little trouble adjusting and it
would be good to talk to a bunch of people in similar situations. I
picked one of the chairs that had been arranged in a circle and sat in
my daintiest pose to wait. There was a coffee urn and Anita offered me
a little Styrofoam cup but I declined; I was so nervous I thought I'd
pee my panties if I drank anything.
When the others started showing up, I was a little disappointed; they
didn't look much better than Anita. The first one, Marie, was a taller
woman with a receding hairline. She tried to carry herself in a
feminine manner, but it just didn't work on her square frame. Her
boobs were decent, and there was a little scar on her neck where her
Adam's apple used to be, but all that expensive work she must have had
done seemed worthless when there were still major aspects that
proclaimed her to be male.
Oliver was a short guy with a well-trimmed beard and a slightly
feminine demeanor, who apparently used to be a chick. There was still
something about him that I found attractive, and I wasn't sure if it
was the woman he used to be or the man he was becoming that interested
me.
Shanti was an enormous black person in a big pink tent of a dress. It
was totally not her color. Something that big should not be that
bright. But I will say this for her, as soon as she saw there was a
new girl at the meeting she came over to me and gave me a great big
crushing hug, then sat down in a couple of chairs next to me.
The one who was introduced as "Wendy" was clearly a man in a dress.
His crooked blonde wig did not work with his bushy black eyebrows. The
excessive amount of rouge on his cheeks did nothing to conceal his five
o'clock shadow. He talked in an annoying whispery falsetto. He
clomped in on a pair of teal pumps that clashed with his navy dress.
The well-bitten fingernails on the ends of his hairy arms really could
have used a manicure.
Georgette was a wrinkled old bag that was starting to get to that stage
where you really couldn't tell if someone was male or female. Her gray
hair was in a woman's style, and she wore a nice plum pantsuit, but her
voice was gravelly. Gee, putting all the members down like that makes
me sound real bitchy. Maybe I really am a girl after all.
I really wasn't feeling like I fit in with this group of freaks and
oddballs. Then Belinda came into the room. She was beautiful, a
petite Asian girl around twenty-three in a cute rust-colored dress with
three-quarter sleeves and a slight v-neck, black tights and a nice pair
of slingbacks that matched her dress. Her hair was short, but moussed
up into a kicky style. A pair of gold hoop earrings and a twisted
chain necklace complemented her look, and all she needed was some
lipstick and a little mascara to finish. We clicked immediately, and
praised each other's fashion choices. It was ironic that when I
learned more about her I found out that she actually hadn't had any
surgery or hormone treatments and lived most of the time as a male.
Her parents were Chinese immigrants and still held strong to old
traditions. Their son was responsible for carrying on the family line
and taking care of them in their old age. Bel knew that they'd
consider it a tremendous dishonor if their son were to declare that he
wanted to become their daughter. Her parents lived with her, so she
had to keep her things locked away in a trunk in the basement. Heaven
for her was the two weeks every year her folks went on vacation to
visit relatives in Scottsdale, and she could shave her legs and be
herself at home. I felt really sad and wished there was something I
could do to help her. A person shouldn't have to live in the wrong
body. I guess I empathized with her strongly because my situation was
so similar, although I couldn't say it. I too was living a lie, forced
to pretend to be happy as a gender not of my choosing. I guess I was
just as much of a freak as the rest of them, even though it didn't show
as clearly.
I gave the group the edited version of my story, that I was transgender
but only got diagnosed after having a traffic accident while wearing my
favorite panties, and lapsed into a coma while they were transforming
me only to wake up in my new feminine shape, so I was frequently
overwhelmed by the differences, but on the whole it was like a dream
come true. I didn't tell them the dream was really more like a
nightmare, but I did tell the truth about how I found that I was
finding it much easier opening up to people since I became a woman.
They asked a few questions about the details of my procedures, and I
