They wouldn't listen to the truth by Elaine © 2010
I took the idea of this story from one I read and liked a long time ago.
I modified it and changed it a good bit with much more dialogue and a
better ending.
Chapter 1 - getting caught
When I was five years old I remember taking my mother's wedding dress
out of the cupboard it was stored in and trying it on for some strange
reason. I found it very exciting to wear it. I loved the feel of the
fine silk material on my skin and from then on I would try it on
whenever I could. Of course it was not something that I would talk about
but it certainly made me feel good to wear her dress even if it didn't
come close to fitting me.
Then in my rush to try on the dress one day I ripped the zip in the back
of the dress with my foot and reluctantly put it back in its place
wondering what would happen to me if my mother would ever discover the
damage to her special dress. A dress she had worn with such grace at her
wedding. I vowed not to try on the wedding dress again and decided that
I would play with her other clothes as my older sister was just seven
and those didn't interest me yet.
For some reason the idea of wearing female clothing fascinated me from
that day onwards. As I got older I would also enjoy wearing my sister's
clothes too when she was staying at my grandmother's house over the
weekend. Ruth was two years older and my mother was always buying her
new dresses and feminine clothes while I'd spend the summer in the same
old dirty shorts and T-shirts. Often I'd wear her new dresses in secret
before she did.
I'd learnt how to put on pantyhose and her sandals before easing her
latest party dress onto my smaller frame. Often she would ask me if I
had been in her room but I would just deny it and walk off. So long as I
wasn't caught actually wearing her clothes there was nothing to worry
about.
So often I would just wait until my parents took my sister to my
grandmother's house and I would use the couple of hours while they were
away to try on her clothes. I would explore the feel and excitement of
wearing her clothes. It would be wrong to say I was exploring my
feminine side more enjoying the thrill of it all. It was like I was
using this to get a thrill or a kick with the prospect of getting caught
or rather not getting caught.
I remember the weekend when they took Ruth to stay with my Grandmother
as usual and I waited anxiously until they drove away down the road
before rushing to Ruth's room to try on the wonderful dresses and skirts
in her wardrobe. I didn't see the harm as my tom boy sister Ruth would
rarely wear them. Within 10 minutes I would go back to my room with my
long hair brushed out while wearing her pantyhose, panties, shoes and
her latest dress. I'd do my homework while dressed up like this but
often it was difficult to concentrate. It was dressing like this that I
discovered the joy of masturbation.
I didn't see any harm in what I was doing. It was my own private hobby
or interest and I took great care not to be discovered in Ruth's
clothes. Often she would ask what I was doing in her room and I would
just say that I had been looking for an eraser to rub out some mistakes
in my homework assignment or something similar.
Of course if I was discovered my family would certainly be very unhappy
at my proclivity and I doubted that they would be too amused with
perhaps the possible exception of my sister. So I was just very careful
making sure that nothing wrong happened until that weekend when I'd just
turned 13 that it did.
I remember that Friday night like it was yesterday and had been excited
when I got home from school to learn that my parents were taking Ruth
shopping and then onto stay with my grandmother for the weekend as often
happened. Ruth was a young woman now and had an array of lingerie and
sexy clothes that I had yet to try on. This was going to be an excellent
chance to try on her newest bra and panties, 10 denier pantyhose and a
tight skirt. She'd also been given a pair of black shoes that had a
small heel that I knew would fit but I'd yet to wear.
So after I had waved them off with my parents warning me to be good, I
happily walked into Ruth's bedroom knowing Mum and Dad would be gone for
at least three or four hours. So I back combed my longish hair, applied
mascara and lip gloss and put on the clothes I wanted before finally
slipping on the tight shoes. Satisfied with my look, I walked into my
bedroom and started my latest homework project.
I sat at my desk and relished the feel of the pantyhose rubbing together
on my legs and the feel of her dress. I became so engrossed in the
project I was doing that the first I knew that my parents were back home
was the sound of the door closing downstairs and a shout upstairs by my
Dad to me to ask if I was all right.
"Shit!" I said out loud to myself and then down to them. "Yes I'm fine.
You weren't away long!" I was by my room door shaking visibly while
trying to get out of the incriminating clothes as fast as possible.
"We bought you something," shouted my father "Come and get it!"
Since I didn't make a move downstairs as he expected, he eagerly started
to come up the stairs.
I really panicked then and frantically headed for my bedroom wardrobe. I
hid inside just as he walked into my bedroom. I had the pantyhose down
to my knees and had smeared the lipstick and mascara but was wearing
everything else much as you would expect.
"I see you hiding in there," he said smiling as he opened the door.
I didn't reply. How could I as he stared at me in disbelief and holding
the new football he'd bought me so loosely it fell to the floor.
"What are you doing dressed up like that?" He asked and almost
immediately summoned my mother. "Rose you better come up and see what
Ricky has been up to while we were away!"
I was acutely embarrassed as he took my hand and pulled me out of the
wardrobe. He told me to sit on the bed and turned just as my mother
entered.
"It seems our son is a little sissy boy and likes to dress up in Ruth's
clothes. Just look at him!" He exclaimed angrily.
"Dear God!" She exclaimed. "Ruth has been complaining that her stuff was
being disturbed so this has been going on for a long time. Hasn't it?"
"Yes Mum," I replied sheepishly. I suddenly felt very stupid and upset
with tears rolling down my cheeks knowing that they were very angry and
upset with me. I had expected nothing else.
"Why?" She asked.
My father stood by the door listening as I began. "I don't know why. I
just liked wearing Ruth's clothes," I said lamely and hoping that
expressing it in the past tense would mean that it wouldn't happen
again.
"Well it's a quite disgusting thing to do!" she shouted. "Do you think
boys should wear their sister's clothes?"
"No Mum," I replied honestly.
"Then why do it then?" she asked again.
I stammered and tried to find the words but they wouldn't form but
managed to say. "I'm really sorry Mum. I know it was wrong and I wont do
it again."
I was let off with a stern warning and told to stay out of my Sister's
bedroom. When Ruth came back from staying at my grandmother's the next
day she was told about what they had found. She found it amusing that I
was into dressing in her clothes but threatened that I had better stay
out of her room from now on.
"I didn't imagine I had a sissy for a brother," she sneered when we ate
supper that night. "A brother that puts on dresses and make-up. That
must have been a pretty sight. I'm sorry I missed that."
I tried to ignore her but she would always call me "sissy" or "sissy
boy" openly when she talked to me from then on. I complained to Mum
about it but nothing was done as it was seen as all my own fault. As far
as Ruth was concerned I was a sissy and nothing would ever change that.
She was just annoyed that she hadn't actually seen me like our parents.
"That would have been something to see," she continually teased. "Seeing
you in pantyhose and a party dress with your hair in curls. Maybe you
can give me a demonstration sometime?"
"You know that's not possible," I said referring her to the fact that
our parents would take further action if it happened again.
Then for a few weeks everything was seemingly back to normal. It seemed
as if the episode had been forgotten. However they were also watching me
closely so I was careful not to rock the boat and the opportunity to
dress again was reduced to zero which frustrated me but helped me stay
on the right side of my family.
Then one day my sister and I had a blazing argument over her tripping
over that football I'd been given. She hurt her wrist and that changed
things because to get her revenge when Mum didn't punish me she
blatantly lied that I had been in her room again.
"I did warn you Ricky!" said my Mum furiously at me when I came in from
school.
"Why what's wrong?" I asked innocently. I was innocent but obviously she
thought differently.
"You know what's wrong!" She said unhappily. "Ruth says that you've been
in her room again and trying on her clothes again."
"That's not true Mum," I protested. "I've never been near her room!"
"Well she says differently and since you appear to have ignored the
warning I gave you, we will have to take things further. I've already
spoken to your Dad about this and he agrees you should get help so that
it will teach you to stop this behaviour. If we don't then who knows
where you will end up."
"Mum I never.... " I tried to protest but she wasn't listening.
"Go to your room, we'll wait for your Dad to come home!"
Later my father stood in my room and asked my Mum what she had in mind
and then added. "Will you promise never to wear Ruth's clothes again?"
He asked me angrily. "And to stay out of her room?"
Before I could reply my mother interrupted, "I think promises are wasted
on him. He's already broken his promise and perhaps shaming him might
stop him doing it."
"What do you have in mind dear?" He asked.
"Well I was thinking that we should let him carry on wearing girl's
clothes to shame him out of being a little sissy he is. Maybe that way
he'll regret ever trying on Ruth's dresses."
"That's not a good idea! We want him to stop, not encourage this
perversion." he said walking towards the door.
"I think this will shame him into stopping. He'll never want to wear a
dress again after I've finished with him." Clearly she was still very
angry.
I couldn't believe what she was proposing. She was going to humiliate me
by dressing me up as a girl. On the one hand the prospect interested me
and on the other it horrified me.
"Mum please, not that. This was only ever something I've done alone in
my bedroom. I've never been outside dressed like that. I promise I'll
honestly never do this again," I said hoping she would accept.
"Ricky I don't believe you will or can keep your promise and you'll
revert back to your disgusting habit again the next time you are home
alone. So since you love dressing up like a girl so much, I'm going
make sure that you will get the opportunity to dress up often. Perhaps
that way will you become sick of the humiliation and wont want to wear
your sister's clothes again."
"Mum please I promise." I was desperately pleading to her better nature
if she had one but it was clear to no avail.
"No my mind is made up! You'll dress up as a girl all the time you are
home from school," she declared which sounded severe. "Since your
perversion involves wearing your sister's clothes, we'll go and get you
your own small wardrobe of clothes right now!"
I felt like saying that she couldn't be serious but it was clear she was
definitely most serious.
So it was that my Mum and I went shopping for my own girl's clothes
later that night. My Dad was unhappy about the idea but reluctantly gave
my Mum the money she needed. She bought a couple of complete outfits and
a feminine nightdress for me to wear for bedtime. She included a pair of
girly jeans that sported pink sparkles on the legs and rear pockets,
slip on flat shoes, a few pairs of sheer pantyhose and enough pairs of
panties to replace my usual boxer shorts. One outfit consisted of short
white socks, Maryjane shoes and a frilly pink party dress. The other was
a skirt and blouse with girl's lace up shoes. None of the shoes couldn't
be disguised as male as they had quite a high block heel.
When we got home I was told to go upstairs and to put on my nightdress
for bed. My Mum proceeded to brush out my hair before I went to brush my
teeth. She kissed me goodnight and said that from now on I'd be called
Rachel instead of Ricky while I was dressed up as a girl.
The next day my sister Ruth laughed at me as I walked around in my
feminine style jeans and blouse. They seemed the least feminine of all
the things Mum had bought but the effect was the same as far as my
sister was concerned.
"You should have stayed out of my drawers," lied Ruth again who knew
that her clothes hadn't been disturbed.
"I'm sorry Ruth," I stammered. "But you know I wasn't even near your
room. I didn't."
"I bet you did," she said. "Well it's payback time and my sissy brother
you will pay."
"What does that mean?" I asked. "I've never hurt you."
"Oh no? What about the snide comments you make about me and my
boyfriends, or my latest outfit or shoes or the way you told Mum I'd
been smoking? Well as I said it's payback time and I will take great
delight in making sure that I get my revenge on you from now on." She
wasn't laughing now but she did look smug at my discomfort. "You do look
quite cute and very feminine though," she continued. "Perhaps you might
make a better sister than an obnoxious brother."
"Don't say that please," I pleaded.
"Well take a look in the mirror, you are petite like a girl your age and
have a slim figure," she said pulling me toward the full length mirror
in her room that I had used many times to check my appearance. "See if
you had some boobs and had a hair style you would look so much better,"
she said as she pulled out my T-shirt to create the illusion of breasts.
She was already very well endowed and I already knew she wore a 34D bra.
"For now though Mum said she wants you to learn how to properly do your
nails and hair. She wants you to keep them shaped with polish on them
and to learn how to style your hair so that you wont look like a boy in
a dress so much."
"You are kidding," I asked hoping she was inventing that story.
Ruth simply replied by handing me a bottle of her clear nail polish. She
then told me to sit while she styled my long hair with a hair-dryer and
brush to add some body to it.
"That will need to do until we can get it styled properly at Mum's
hairdresser," she said. "A pageboy cut would suit you."
I groaned.
"Mum can we take Ricky to get his hair properly styled?" She shouted
downstairs.
"It's not Ricky it's Rachel now dear and yes that sounds a good idea.
I'll could call Muriel at the salon to see if she has a place free. She
will get a big laugh out of this."
Despite my protests I reluctantly I went to Muriel's hair salon and got
my longish hair styled into a feminine layered page boy cut. It was
washed and then she spent an age cutting it so that it hung over my eyes
and eyebrows just right. The length was such that I couldn't flip the
hair over my ears as I used to do. For good measure she even plucked my
eyebrows.
As I stood up I wondered how I was going to explain this hairstyle at
school. It seemed to me that they were taking this a bit further than
just wanting me to dress up only at home. As we walked through the mall
my Mum dragged me into a jewellers where she had them pierce my ears
twice with gold and a jewelled studs in each earlobe.
As we walked out I complained. "Mum I really didn't want to have my ears
pierced."
However she just scolded me as I tried to touch them on the way to the
clothing store. I couldn't believe that my hair and ears had seemingly
been feminised against what she had said that I would only be a girl at
home. "When they've healed we'll get you some prettier earrings."
"But how am I to explain my hair and earrings at school Mum?" I asked
trying to shield off the stares I expected from everyone nearby. In fact
everyone was smiling at me thinking I was a girl hopefully. I certainly
looked like one dressed in my girl jeans and sparkly T shirt.
I did feel acutely embarrassed as we walked into the women's side of the
clothing store and she started to look at some more clothes for me.
Often she would pick something up and hold it up to me to see how it
looked. We left with some tight skirts and an angora sweater in the bags
I carried.
"Mum. You said this was only to be at home!" I repeatedly complained at
this additional humiliation she was inflicting. She wasn't listening or
pretended not to listen.
Ruth laughed, "well you do have to make sure everything fits."
Then Ruth saw some of her friends and rushed over to greet them with
hugs and air kisses. They were all laughing out loud as they looked over
in my direction to further increase my discomfort. When she returned she
told me that the girls all thought that I looked cute as a girl and the
boys would soon be interested in tormenting me.
"No! I don't want any boys to see me like this." I replied horrified at
the thought.
"They might as we're going to grab something to eat now," said Mum
returning with the packages holding my new clothes. "Would a pizza suit
you Ruth?" I noticed that my opinion didn't seem to count any longer.
Despite my complaints they just didn't listen to me.
Ruth agreed and took my hand as we walked towards the pizza shop. It
seemed however that people didn't notice anything untoward in me as we
walked in together like two sisters. It seemed that people were intent
on doing their own thing in the mall. It wasn't till we sat down that I
thought I noticed people staring intently at me. This included 4 boys at
the next table who I knew from school. Thankfully they didn't make a
scene but clearly I was acutely embarrassed.
I was glad to get home until my mother and sister spent some time
showing me how to put on red lipstick and eye make up they'd bought for
me while Ruth shaped my nails and finished her work two coats of clear
high gloss polish.
"How do I get this stuff off?" I asked as my nails dried. "You could try
scraping it off but its better to use nail polish remover," she replied
showing me the bottle. "But if you do remove it I'll put red polish on
your nails next time or get you fitted for some acrylic nail
extensions," she threatened. It seemed that she was really enjoying my
discomfort.
Then she spent some time coaching me in deportment making me practice
walking and moving just like a girl. I had to swing my hips and
exaggerate my walk until they were satisfied. I knew how to sit but they
had me practice that too.
Then when they were satisfied I was paraded in front of my Dad who
frowned at first but asked me to walk up and down and do a few twirls.
"Very nice," he said unconvincingly. I could tell he wasn't too pleased
by this decision to make an example out of me. Clearly he didn't see me
as the same son who usually played with him in the yard at football or
who would go on bike rides with him in the country. I'd been turned into
a sissy wimp and it was clear he didn't want to know that side of me.
I went back to my room and suddenly found that all my boy's clothes
except for my school uniform were all missing. All my underwear had been
replaced by frilly underwear, even my thick ankle socks had been
replaced by thin knee highs. When I opened the wardrobe I found I had a
growing collection of thin long slacks, short skirts, panty hose and
even some bras despite having nothing except cotton wool padding to fill
them with.
I also had several pairs of shoes including one pair of Mary Jane shoes
with a 2" block heel and girl's slip ons. My usual trainers were gone.
Later I asked my Mum as I helped in the kitchen, "How long will all this
last?"
I hoped it would be soon but she replied, "When I say it does. You'll
have to prove to me that you wont do this perversion ever again."
"How am I do that if you keep me dressed up as a girl?"
Instead of answering me she stunned me.
"Oh I've decided that we'll consult with a therapist to discuss your
gender confusion," she replied. "We will take his advice about when to
end it. In the meantime you'll stay in girl's clothes out of school."
"But Mum," I replied. "I can't go outside or play with my friends like
this."
"You should have thought of that before you raided your sister's
wardrobe," she said unsympathetically as she cooked dinner. "It's a
filthy perversion to wear your sister's clothes and we need to get to
the bottom of it."
So I had to get used it. By day I wore my school uniform to school and
in the evenings and weekends I was expected to wear my new girly
clothes. That increasingly included trips outside shopping and trips to
my relatives who were shocked to find what had happened.
Of course I had to take out an earrings when I went to school but my
mother insisted that I put in gold hoops or long dangly earrings when I
was in "girl" mode. I wore a baseball cap as often as I could to conceal
my growing styled hair while my still polished nails were concealed with
grime from my dad's workshop often causing comments from my teachers
about hygiene.
So I would switch between two completely different styles of dress every
day. Mum and Ruth would often drag me out with them and I would often
have to rapidly change from my school clothes into a dress and pass
muster as a sissy.
I was constantly humiliated with this. I had to help with the housework
and some of the menial chores such as hanging out the laundry to dry.
The biggest loss was that my friendships ended with other boys. Often
they would call round and I would have to hide in my room until they
left.
"He's not feeling well," or "he's busy with homework." My Mum would say
as I hid behind a door.
When Ruth insist on taking me out dressed in a tight short skirt and my
highest heeled shoes, I was always acutely embarrassed while she was
clearly enjoying my discomfort. I was always very acutely aware that I
was exposed and vulnerable.
I also found that female clothing can be quite uncomfortable to wear
over long periods. I could feel the bra tightly fastened on my ribs as
it expanded and contracted with every breath I took, the tight control
girdle I wore constricted my poor genitals while my shoes were tight and
awkward to wear.
I really found that I really didn't like constantly wearing this
feminine clothing apart from the jeans and often would just laze around
in my bedroom in my nightdress. Even those sparkly jeans I wore were
over tight and restrictive and I had to wear the girdle so they would
close. In particular I really hated wearing the shoes instead of my more
comfortable trainers. Although my shoes weren't very high heels they
made my feet ache and they seemed to deform my painted red toes.
I also found that wearing girl's clothes in winter was a drawback as I
had less protection against the cold while the tight skirts restricted
my movement and made me take small steps to avoid falling over.
Life sucked and it was just about to get worse.
After a few months of dressing up my Mum as promised took me one weekend
to see the therapist she had talked about. But rather than me going
dressed as a boy I was dressed up as usual as a girl which in retrospect
was not a good idea.
So I sat down in front of Doctor Richards with my Mum while he asked me
a lot of questions about my dressing.
"So you are here dressed as a young girl," he started. "I understand
that you like dressing up as a girl and that you do it whenever you can
according to your mother."
"Yes it's just been the last few months, I've been doing that," I
replied honestly and before I could add further qualification why he
continued.
"I see. And how long have you been wearing female clothes in secret and
in the open?" he asked.
I replied honestly about that first time when I was around 5 years old
causing my mother to open her mouth in shock and with some annoyance.
"So what do you get from dressing as a girl?" He asked.
After some thought I replied, "I found it exciting and relaxing at the
same time. When I started it felt right to me to dress up if I wasn't
offending anyone. I still felt it was wrong though and my parents
surprised me and caught me dressed in my sister's clothes."
"Is this correct?" he asked my Mum.
"Yes he was even wearing my lipstick and his sister's mascara," she
replied. "It was all perfectly applied and he did his own make-up today"
"Yes I see that he is wearing make-up now," he noted getting up and
looking directly at my long black fluttering eyelashes. Ruth had
insisted that I put some on before leaving.
"Would you like to continue to dress as a girl and wear make-up?" he
asked me.
"No." I said and before I could say why he pounced again.
"No? By all accounts you do seem to enjoy it. Even turning up here in
girl's clothes so that doesn't really make much sense to me. If you are
to have a good life we will need to decide what path you will follow in
the near future. If you want to dress as a girl all the time we will
need to stop the march of a male puberty soon or if you want to continue
as a boy get you to stop this cross dressing habit you clearly enjoy."
"But.,,," I tried to add more but Mum interrupted me.
"As you can see he presents a very feminine appearance, even his ears
are pierced twice in each earlobe." She said but failing to add that
she'd been responsible for that. "His eyebrows are plucked and arched so
that his face is more feminine in appearance. His father and I take the
view that he is suffering from a serious gender confusion and we must do
what is right to ensure that it can be treated successfully. Lately he's
even been helping me around the house while dressed up as a girl instead
of going out to play with his boy friends."
I was annoyed at her as she had arranged for my eyebrows to be plucked
again by Ruth. As for helping around the house she had been forcing me
to do that but she sounded that I actually volunteered to do it. I
couldn't understand why she wanted him to think that I wanted this to
continue any longer.
"Yes so I see," said the doctor. "No normal boy would want that to
happen. So my view given his proclivity for all things female that we
should put him on some androgen blockers meantime to stop the onset of
his male puberty which will be an advantage should he want to remain a
girl later. These pills will keep his voice from breaking and will stop
the formation of body hair and other masculine traits from developing."
"If we decide later that he really wants to be a boy then we can stop
the androgen blockers and he will grow up a healthy young man. We will
see over the coming months what course to take with him. At the moment
it's too early to say," he said writing up the prescription about what
the dose should be.
"Good we'll get the pills on the way home," Mum said to me. I was
shocked as effectively I wouldn't be growing up to be a man taking this
stuff and my Mum seemed to want this to happen. This made me feel very
scared but with the appointment at an end we walked out to the car.
I shuddered and felt a tear fall down my cheek as I got into the
passenger side and closed the door. It seemed that he hadn't believed
that I didn't want to be this way and it was clear my feminine
appearance was completely overruling everything. I knew going out
dressed this way was wrong but they hadn't listened to me. Then again my
Mum hadn't helped either and I realised that this could get seriously
out of hand if nothing was done.
Over the next few weeks Mum saw to it that I took my "medicine" morning
and night. My father thought it was stuff to turn me into a man and not
to keep me as a sissy boy a lot longer.
Coupled with this my room was altered as my Mum arranged for it to be
redecorated and cleaned. The walls were painted a pale pink colour
while Ruth gave me some of her old posters of ponies and pop stars. I
was even given her old pink CD player and CD collection to replace my
own black and silver CD radio which they decided was to be used in the
kitchen.
I complained of course but nobody listened to my complaints.
Every time I came home something else would be changed in my room. From
the bedspreads to the calendar on the wall. It was like they were
wanting me to become a girl or maybe there was something I didn't know
and they were making it so that I would get anything a normal girl would
want.
Then Mum decided, after Ruth had shown her, that I should wear breast
forms inside my bra so that it would look and feel more realistic
instead of the cotton wool padding. I was also encouraged to give them
girly style hugs whenever we met up and even my Dad didn't give me his
high fives any more.
With me behaving and acting as a girl at home so it got to be that I
unconsciously started to behave the same way at school too. So I
reluctantly took my pills and saw that I was really forgetting what it
was like to be a boy. Even my Dad treated me like a girl more and more.
I missed all the rough and tumble with my friends and I couldn't really
see any easy way to change it. I often thought about running away but
dressed as a girl that was easier said than done.
This all began to feel unreal when my Dad also started to call me Rachel
instead of Ricky while Ruth really made lots of suggestions to my Mum
about this and that change so that I would "suffer" even more.
After two months we went back to see Doctor Richards and when he saw
that I was even more feminine than before with "breasts" after a few
blunt questions that Mum answered, he immediately prescribed female
hormones for me. I felt sick to the stomach but Mum seemed delighted as
we drove home.
When we got home she told my Dad that I'd been diagnosed as being a
young male to female transsexual and that I should be given the full
treatment to transition into the girl I longed to be. I tried to
interrupt her but she kept on threatening me to be quiet and so she gave
him the news that I was to take female hormones and to live full time as
a girl.
I walked out of the room with tears in my eyes and that made my
carefully applied mascara and eyeliner run down my cheeks so that they
thought it was tears of happiness and not tears of sadness or remorse. I
was distraught when I went back to my room only to be called down again
as my Mum gave me my medicine as prescribed by the therapist.
"What will this do to me?" I asked anxiously.
"Well according to the information with the bottle it will make your
skin soften, redistribute fat around your body and generally make you
look less boyish," she said being economical with the truth.
I felt like asking her why she was doing this to me but decided that it
would just make her more angry. I dutifully took my medicine after
deciding that one pill wouldn't turn me into a girl overnight. However
that first pill was to be the first of many morning and night and before
long I could feel the shocking changes in my breasts and nipples.
After another two months we went back to the doctor and he examined my
appearance carefully and was very happy that dressed as I was, with
longer highly styled feminine hair I was developing into an attractive
girl.
"Doctor...," I tried to speak to him but Mum would interrupt me and ask
something different to what I had in mind.
Of course it was usually something completely opposite to what I would
have asked like, "what can be done to make his breasts grow faster?" or
"what is involved in gender reassignment operations?" and so on. I
didn't want this and I couldn't get them to see that. It seemed that he
was giving her what she wanted and not what I did.
She left with an altered prescription with higher dosages of oestrogen
medicine and I knew that I wouldn't ever be changing back to a boy after
that visit.
There was a meeting of me and my parents arranged for that night. They
wanted me to understand that I had no longer had any say in what was
right for me and they had decided (or rather Mum had) that I had
embraced the feminine gender wholeheartedly and would thus be considered
a girl by them from now on.
Before all this started I would have made a really big noise about this
situation but now there was nothing but compliance and softness from me.
I had been turned into a shy and demure girl who was unable to argue
against my Mum's persuasion over my Dad.
"See how well the clothes fit now," she said. "How well he moves and
behaves? Would you say he's more girl than boy now? If he didn't like
being this way why doesn't he complain or fight it?"
"But Mum," I started to say my complaint. "Mum please. I really don't
want this!"
"Then you should have thought of that before dressing in your sister's
clothes." my Dad replied angrily, "Now you've made your bed you have to
lie in it. But I don't think this is a humiliation any more as you seem
to be enjoying it too much."
"Yes he never complains as you would expect from a normal boy. When we
pierce his ears, or get his eyebrows plucked or paint his nails, he just
accepts it and this is the result. Look at how well those clothes fit
now. How well he talks and walks like a girl. These feminine tendencies
of his are quite deeply ingrained I think. Look how he sits quietly
while we decide his future. If he were really a man he would be yelling
his head off. Outside no one can tell he's a boy. He's very attractive
and he draws the attention of boys. Rachel is clearly meant to be a
young attractive lady whether we agree with it or not. This is obvious
to the therapist who treats him as he wants Rachel to take stronger
doses of female hormones morning and night."
Ruth who had entered while Mum was speaking backed up Mum by saying how
well behaved I was. "I agree with you Mum he used to give me grief
constantly and lately he's been a lot better. Calmer somehow."
"Anything else?" Mum asked her.
"I think that no matter what we say, he'll continue to dress up in
girl's clothes in private. This way he can dress up any way he wants and
it will be completely normal."
That seemed to decide it and although my Dad looked sullen, my Mum and
sister seemed happy that they'd decided what should happen. I don't know
why but my opinion wasn't asked for despite me trying to argue against
it. I was just disappointed in them and in myself so walked out of the
room.
When I got to my room my Mum had left a shopping bag on my bed and I
opened it up to see she'd bought three pairs of high waist pantie
girdles and some sheer pantyhose again with tummy control built in.
There was also a satin pencil skirt, blouse and a pair of satin black 3"
high heels in my size. She shouted upstairs to me put on the pantyhose
and a girdle under the skirt and to try on the shoes so I dutifully
complied. A few months earlier I would have given my right arm to try on
these items but now I was reluctantly getting dressed in them with less
excitement.
A few minutes later I was dressed in what was the sexiest outfit I'd
ever worn. She came upstairs and nodded her approval that I'd obeyed
her, also that it all fitted perfectly and that it looked good on me.
"Now sit and do your make-up like a good girl. Put in your gold hoop
earrings too," she ordered rather than requested so I sat down
reluctantly at my newly purchased vanity and complied, "Good girl!" she
said. "When you are done we'll take you out for a treat."
"Where are we going?" I asked as dressed and made up we went out to the
car. I could hear my 3" spike heels clicking on the path as we walked
and my legs rubbing together inside the skirt. Instead of answering me
she showed me how to get into a car while wearing a tight skirt by
sitting down on the seat and then swinging my bent legs inside. I could
feel the sheer pantyhose rubbing against my legs because of the tight
skirt, the creamy taste of the red lipstick on my lips while my loaded
eyelashes blinked constantly as my eyes watered. I could feel the tug on
my earlobes with the heavy earrings while my perfume was over powering.
Her treat consisted of my first ever manicure and gel nails were applied
that I was told would never come off without a lot of effort. The salon
assistant at least didn't make them too long and did them in a French
manicure style but they just added to my totally convincing look. With
that done, Mum bought me some padded bras that fitted my still growing
breasts. I was shocked that I actually filled my own bra and the padded
versions she bought meant it was impossible to hide that I had real
breasts.
"From now you are going to be Rachel all the time and I'll have to write
a note for your new school to tell them about you and that you should be
treated as a girl. They'll excuse you from physical education but you
can also change your courses to those a girl would do such as home
economics, languages and art."
I couldn't see any way out of this impossible situation short of leaving
home but at 14 I was too young. There seemed to be no one to talk to
except my Dad but he didn't want much to do with me and he'd even been
working late at night and at weekends to avoid contact with me.
I looked at my hands and wondered what else could be done. I was soon to
find out.
Another visit to the therapist had me wearing newer tight girl's stretch
jeans that showed off my ever widening hips while my top showed I was
developing a deep cleavage. My styled hair was longer and fuller while I
had gained another piercing in the top of my ears. My eyebrows were also
a fine arch thanks to Ruth's patience and expert plucking.
"Have you had any encounters with boys yet?" he asked.
"No." I replied.
"Would you like to have a boyfriend?" he asked me.
"Well I would like a friendship," I replied and explained that this
situation had left me with no friends. "I don't mind if it's a girl or
a boy."
"Oh that will change now," he said confidently. "When are you starting
back at school?"
"In a few weeks," I replied. "Mum's arranged for me to go to a new
school for the next session."
"That's sensible so your new life as Rachel can begin normally," he said
enthusiastically. It seemed like he was taking my transformation into a
girl as his own personal triumph or success. "You will have to deal with
boys and other girls and it will be a first challenge for you to avoid
conflicts and ensure that you can create friends easily as only a pretty
girl can."
We then walked to my family doctor who gave me a complete physical
examination and he was satisfied that the hormones were changing me as
expected. I was skinnier everywhere except for my hips and breasts. He
was able to reassure me that my breasts were quite normal and just as
any normal girl would find. He told me that if growth wasn't quite what
I would like I could ask for implants. I didn't like the idea of that so
he said that he had assumed that I would want to be the same as my
sister and Mum who were both a DD cup.
"No she often hates having large breasts," I told him knowing how my
sister reacted to them.
"The hormones may give you breasts similar to her," he cautioned. I
decided that I'd cross that bridge when I came to it.
Later I tried to imagine what it would be like having the same large
breasts like Ruth and I knew I didn't want the handicap of them
constantly on my ribs. I'd arranged to meet Ruth after my appointment
and we went into a restaurant for some coffee. As we sat and talked
about what the doctor had said, we came under the attention from two
guys at a nearby table.
They came over and asked if we could help them. "We are new in town and
looking for the best mall for boy's clothes," said the oldest who was
tall and blonde haired. "Could you give us directions?"
Ruth replied helpfully, "we're going there ourselves soon so we can show
you the way."
We quickly drank our coffees and then at the doorway pointed to the big
mall across the street. "Can you show us what's there?" they asked but
at that moment I was grateful to see our Mum arrive to pick us up in her
car. So we walked over to her car knowing those two guys were watching
our every move as our heels clicked and asses swayed in our figure
hugging skirts.
Ruth explained about the two boys and instead of allowing us into the
car insisted that we take them to the mall. So it was that I went about
that day for the first time with a guy called Geoff while Ruth paired
with Gordon.
We walked over to the Mall and not being used to shoes this tall my feet
began to hurt and then go on fire with pain. I almost fell once as we
crossed a grass strip where my heels dug into the soil but Geoff saved
me from the embarrassment by grabbing my arm and hand.
"Thanks," I said gratefully wishing I could get these stupid shoes off
my feet.
"Oh think nothing of it. It can't be easy walking in heels as high as
those," he replied and I willing agreed with him. He smiled at my
discomfort and fragility. He had a good honest face and he held onto my
hand until we were well inside the mall. I actually enjoyed his company
and he bought us all an ice cream after he'd bought himself a new pair
of faded jeans.
As we walked out of the mall with Ruth and Gordon, Geoff asked to see me
again and asked for my number. I didn't have a pen in my bag so I used
my lipstick on a piece of scrap paper to write it down.
"I think you look fabulous," he said before kissing me on the cheek
goodbye.
"Looks like you made an impression on Geoff," said Ruth as we watched
them go towards their bus. He was constantly turning round to wave or to
smile. I didn't know what to think as he clearly saw me as a girl and
not a boy. Was there nothing left of the Ricky who wanted to dress up
occasionally in girl's clothes? It seemed not and I was now Rachel who
would do nothing else but dress and look like a girl.
My Mum was keen to know what had happened when she arrived back to take
us home. She seemed quite pleased that Geoff had asked to see me again
and it was a big shock when I saw a text arrive on my phone as we went
home
"Hi Rachel, Thnks for 2day, I'd rlly like 2 see u again." I felt like
throwing the phone away but Ruth snatched it from me and read it aloud.
"Listen to this Mum - he wants to see her again," she said handing it
back to me but not before she'd replied a text on my behalf. "Sure see u
soon."
"Well done Ruth," Mum laughed but I just felt uncomfortable and confused
about everything.
This was crazy that Mum wanted me to date a boy and my life surely
couldn't get any worse before I remembered that I was going to be going
to school as a girl from now on.
A few days later Geoff called me and we arranged to go and see a movie.
It wasn't a chick flick as I expected but was a modern action movie that
most boys would like so I didn't mind it. We walked back to my house
from the bus stop with me now walking very confidently in my heels and
tight jeans. He acted like a gentleman and politely asked for a kiss
goodnight at the garden gate. I could hardly refuse it since he'd been
so nice to me all night long but it felt really weird feeling his tongue
probe deep inside my mouth in a passionate embrace.
"You taste good, sweet Rachel," he whispered in my ear as his right hand
fondled my bra covered breasts. He tried to put his hand inside my
blouse before I stopped him saying that my Mum might be watching which
he probably took as an indication that it was OK for him to do it but
not outside my house.
Instead he gave me a last lingering kiss before I walked briskly back
inside and closed the door with my heart thumping hard. This was crazy I
shouldn't be kissing a boy or him having his hands on my chest. It was
though quite exciting though knowing that I was so convincing that he
had no idea that I'd been born a boy.
"So how was your first date honey?" Mum asked as I walked into the
kitchen and kicked off my shoes.
"It felt weird Mum, we get on well but kissing him was strange," I
replied putting on rubber gloves to protect my false nails and polish
before automatically washing the dinner plates. "He stuck his tongue
deep inside my mouth and grabbed at my breasts. I think he would have
gone further if I hadn't stopped him."
"You should always leave him wanting more," she smiled as she tackled a
big pile of laundry including my own sexy lingerie and underwear. "You
might need to give him pleasure at some point. You can't obviously let
him see what's between your legs until we get that fixed."
The word "fixed" made me shiver. I was unhappy at the thought of losing
the last vestige of my masculinity. Unfortunately it looked like a
forgone conclusion regardless.
"So what should I do if he wants inside my panties Mum?" I asked.
"Well you'll probably need to divert his attention somehow," she replied
vaguely.
"How?"
"Well you could claim it was your time of the month and that will stop
him," she added. "It stops most men."
"Oh I hadn't thought of that but I wont have them all the time and if
that doesn't stop him? What then?" I asked.
"You might need to satisfy him orally," she advised. "Men love oral sex
and if he comes on strong then one way would be to satisfy him that way.
However Rachel you should keep that as a last resort."
"You are kidding," I replied, "I can't suck a man's ...." I was so
disgusted I couldn't say the word cock.
At that moment I couldn't stomach the idea but there would come a time
when I'd probably have to grin and bear it. A few years later I would
have to, to avoid detection I'd have to kiss then take one into my
mouth. I'd have to use my tongue and lips to make him hard till he
filled my mouth with cum. I felt like throwing up at the thought.
While Geoff was clearly excited when we were together as I could feel
his hard on through my dress against my waist I was on the other hand
getting more and more frustrated sexually. I couldn't seem to get an
erection no matter how much I tried and my penis and balls still seemed
to be painfully small like those found on a small boy. So if all this
treatment stopped how would I ever perform as a man I wondered? I still
liked to watch other girls but often found myself comparing my look to
theirs.
There was a girl from my old school who I regularly saw out and about.
She was often seen wearing knee high spike heel boots and a short tight
skirt, strawberry blonde pony tail. I loved her sexy look so much that I
actually asked Mum if I could get the same style of boots and dress when
we passed her. Naturally she agreed to it.
When Geoff saw me in that outfit for the first time it was electric. I
decided that if I was going to play the girl role I would try and have
some fun too. His reaction was just like I would have made if it had
been me with that girl from school. He was all over me and really
treated me like his princess.
Meantime the "medicine" was still making my body more and more girlish.
My hips were rounding and more was being added to my chest so I could
finally get rid of the padded bras. I had a C cup cleavage and it looked
like the doctor was right that I would be well endowed just like Ruth.
Mum also kept me on a low calorie diet so I was forced to eat only small
amounts of food in order to "keep my figure". So I was always feeling
hungry and always felt low in energy.
On top of all this I was still expected to help Mum with the meals and
housework. All my pleading for this to stop fell on deaf ears. The
therapist didn't seem to listen to me that I wanted my male life back
and it was as if he'd already decided that I was to be a girl.
Unknown to me my Mum had other things in mind and made contact with a
plastic surgeon who was an expert in gender reassignment surgery. When
she arranged an appointment with the surgeon just after my 16th birthday
I was by then an utterly convincing looking girl. The surgeon couldn't
believe I was male and asked to check my passport which still listed me
as male.
I was asked to undress and put on some weird nightgown. That done I was
asked to lie on a bed with stirrups in place that would support my
ankles so the surgeon could examine me. I saw him handling a syringe in
his right hand and filling it with some liquid from a bottle. He
carefully inserted a needle into the back of my hand and I started to
feel something spread up my arm and was completely unconscious in
seconds. It was like someone switched off a light in my brain.
When I woke up some time later I felt much different. Not only was I in
a hospital bed I had pain down below between my legs and I had a feeling
of massive pressure on my chest.
"What's happened?" I asked. "I'm really thirsty."
I was given some water by a nurse and told to rest as the doctor would
be along in a few minutes. In the corner of my eye I could see a big
bunch of flowers from my Mum and Dad with a get better soon card.
I was panicking. 'My god they've done the surgery already,' I thought
and tried to put my hand down to the pain centre at my groin. I felt a
big bandage which seemed to confirm my worst fears. I couldn't
understand why I hadn't been asked to agree with this. I coughed and
felt my chest heave against the tight skin covering my now enlarged
breasts. This couldn't be real. Not only had they removed my penis but I
was stuffed full of silicone or saline implants.
When the doctor came in I was angry about it but he completely pulled
the rug out from under me when he announced that he had a signed consent
form from my parents and the therapist and given me exactly what I had
wanted.
"What I had wanted? What did I want?" I asked him.
"Well you had saline implants to increase your breast size from a small
C cup to a DD just like your sister and mother I believe. And lastly I
removed your testicles," he said.
"Just my testicles?" I asked. I was shocked.
"Yes so that you can now stop taking the anti andogens medication and
have more control over your female hormone intake," he said, "It's quite
a normal procedure in transsexuals to have an orchiectomy during their
transition. Tight clothes should fit you better too."
"Dear God!" I said utterly bewildered. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"
"It wasn't?" he asked. "I can't reverse the procedure if you've changed
your mind now. Things will be less painful in a few days and I'm sure
you'll be happy with the results. You can ask for pain control
medication if it's too severe."
"Thank you, yes I'd like some," I replied but I just wanted to cry
myself back to sleep.
Later I was allowed to sit up and could immediately feel the pressure on
my chest and the tight tender skin that contained my implants despite
the bandages. I couldn't believe how much bigger my chest was as I
looked down at myself.
When my Mum arrived it seemed that she looked very happy that I'd taken
another step to look like her and Ruth and that my operation was a
success.
"Why didn't you tell me this surgery was going to happen?" I asked.
"What difference does it make now?" She replied curtly. "It was always
going to happen that you would become Rachel. At least this way you are
over two of the surgeries you needed done to complete your transition."
"But you went and did it without telling me!" I said angrily
"Yes so you wouldn't be uptight about this surgery beforehand. I decided
it would be less stressful if you didn't know what was in store for
you."
I shook my head in disbelief. There seemed to be no point in arguing any
more as what was done couldn't be undone by arguing with her. Clearly it
was just going to be a matter of time before I was a full female and her
plans would be complete.
I was allowed home a few days later and with some specially bought
support bras I was able to get around. The dressings were all removed
and my tiny penis was all that remained between my legs as my balls were
missing and I had two rows of sutures in my scrotum. With the implants I
was now sporting the same curvy figure as my sister and mother. I was
told that they would look more natural in a few months but they just
felt like two big jelly mounds stuck to my ribs.
However I was simply stunned that this had happened. At school there was
some reaction from the girls while the boys had a lot of interest in me.
Often I'd get requests to date one or other of the soccer team but I was
just too unhappy to get involved with someone else. These changes were
permanent and it illustrated that this was a clear statement that I
wouldn't get any satisfaction from being a boy who pervertedly dressed
as a girl as I would be a girl.
I was a girl and now girl's clothes were just that clothes and not
something to be enjoyed as before. There would be no outward sign of
sexual excitement in wearing sexy female clothes it would just be a
matter of fact that I'd spend the rest of my life having to wear a bra
to support my breasts rather than anything else.
Mum told me a few weeks later when my anger had subsided a little that
she had always believed that I wanted to be a girl deep down. When I had
denied it they just didn't believe me. Now what made things worse was
that everyone acted as though nothing was wrong. As if it was perfectly
normal for me to be this way.
Even my Dad had finally decided that the changes were for the best even
if I didn't want to have breasts that big. I would be his daughter
Rachel forever and that had taken some adjustment on his part so I
should try and do that too.
Geoff was delighted with the change in my chest size and didn't ask why
I had it done. He'd often say how much better my figure was now and now
he was very happy. He couldn't resist touching them after they'd healed
up. I liked it when he started to massage them and made my nipples go
hard which was a good sign as far as he was concerned that he turned me
on. In fact it was weird feeling him touch and fondle them. It felt
alien like it shouldn't be happening. He often would buy me sexy
lingerie and I had a few bra and panty sets that he liked to see me wear
but were utterly impracticable and uncomfortable for day to day use
On one level having implants gave me more confidence as I could show a
cleavage since I had my own fuller breasts. If having my breasts hadn't
been a source of so much sadness at the loss of my manhood I would
probably have liked them more. As it was I just treated life with them
in the same way as my sister did. They'd wake me up as I slept and I
took to wearing a support teddy or peignoir in bed.
I continued meeting with my gender therapist and would try to make it
clear that I didn't want to become a girl.
"I only ever liked the sexual excitement of cross dressing," I told him
on one occasion that Mum didn't attend the appointment.
"Did you get constantly aroused?" he asked.
"Well no. I did though find it very exciting to wear my sister's
clothes."
"Are you excited mow?" he asked.
"No I don't get excited any longer since I had the surgeries. There is
nothing to get excited about now. It just feels like when I used to
dress up in my boy's clothes. That these are just clothes to wear."
"Don't you feel the difference in materials? He asked.
"Yes obviously that's different," I replied honestly and crossed my legs
feeling the sheer nylon feel of the stockings. Unlike before where I
would get an erection from doing that there was nothing like the same
reaction now.
"So you don't enjoy wearing those stockings?"
"I do and I don't," I replied. "It's not the same now and its not as
exciting as it once was. I often just want to go back to being a boy."
"Do you think if you went back to being a boy you'd still dress in these
clothes?" he asked.
I didn't reply as I thought about it. That hesitation probably sealed my
fate as I said, "I don't know for sure but I'd probably would dress up
in private as before." He had been very polite and listened to me
intently but when he went to write up his notes, he said that I was
still confused about my gender and on balance my transition should
continue as my physical appearance was more girl than boy.
He wrote "I feel that Rachel would be much happier and feel more normal
as a woman. She gives the impression of a natural girl. Her body
movements and mannerisms are all of a typical woman and to revert back
now would cause her problems as she wouldn't possibly be able to act
like a boy. Also she has had breast implants and surgical castration
which have only enhanced her feminine appearance. I recommend that she
be referred for surgery at the correct time."
"The only reason she claims for originally dressing as a girl was the
sexual excitement that she derived from it. Now she claims it is just
wearing clothes indicates that the treatment given has worked making it
normal for her to dress as a woman. Although she says that there is no
excitement clearly that isn't the case as she presents easily as a
sexily dressed young woman with very tall heels, nails and stockings
rather than as a frumpy girl style that her words would suggest."
"So despite her verbal claims that she wants to be a boy again, her
actions clearly indicate that she is a woman. She plays the feminine
role perfectly well and looks, talks and walks despite impossibly high
heels just like a girl."
"Then there is the relationship Rachel has with her boyfriend Geoff that
has continued now for some time. Although she suggests that it is just a
good friendship clearly she has had some form of female role in a sexual
relationship with her providing affection and kisses to him. If she
didn't enjoy the female role then this relationship wouldn't have lasted
as long as it has."
Finally, he wrote, "Her mother has often caught her admiring her body in
the mirror, applying heavy make-up while wearing lingerie. Then her
sister has indicated that Rachel was desperate to be a girl and has had
a good relationship with her boyfriend Geoff."
My parents of course believed the therapist's report and my fate was
sealed as my Mum applied to get my birth certificate changed. It was now
showing my new name of Rachel instead of Richard.
"That's that then," I said as I looked at the certificate before it was
put away inside the wall safe. I was now officially a girl called
Rachel.
My Dad hoped that I would be happier it was all officially finished. We
hugged more often now since my breast surgery had healed and he was
always being very nice to me by giving me presents and money. I was
Dad's baby girl now but I missed the rough and tumble we used to share.
Of course I was still seeing Geoff frequently and we were daily
exchanging texts and emails. He would also buy me things when we got
together including a giant pink and white teddy bear for my room.
Actually he and I became closer and he was thrilled about our good
relationship. We spent a lot of time together but I often hated being
the girl in the relationship and wished we could just be good friends
instead of boyfriend and girlfriend.
I was also unable to perform physically like he could. He was able to do
so much more while I felt like my new gender was holding me back. While
he could stride out confidently I had to take small mincing steps in my
usual high heels he liked me to wear. Although I found that I was used
to wearing them I would often have to ask him to slow down while I
caught him up.
It was around that time that my constant wearing of really tall heels
were having an effect on my calf muscles. I found that my feet hurt in
them but when I wore anything less than 2" heels then my calve muscles
hurt even more. So when I went back to school my uniform consisted of
shoes with a three inch block heel, dark pantyhose, a gray pleated
skirt, blouse, school tie and a green blazer that was buttoned up the
opposite way.
Ruth was still going to my old school while I had been given a fresh
start at another at the other end of town. My parents had talked to the
head master about the transfer and they had arranged my timetable so I
would fit in unnoticed into the classes.
When I was given my class list and timetable, I found that my science
classes were replaced with biology and geography while my mathematics
was replaced with home economics. I had no friends but none of the class
knew my history so that was a big relief.
So I learnt how to bake cakes and I was scolded for having nail polish
on my nails. Still I did make a new friend in Marcia who was also a
newcomer to this school. We became good friends after that first day. No
one knew about my past and eventually I fitted into the routine and the
class schedules. At Physical Education I asked to be excused but was
told that it was to be dancing practice for the Autumn Ball.
I was hopeless and couldn't seem to get used to being steered around by
Jerry Smith on that first period of dancing lessons. After that day I
was called to the Head Master's office where it was explained that he
knew about my situation and being enrolled as a girl.
"Your parents have written a note that you are going through gender
reassignment and we will help you in any way we can," he stated. "Girls
like you are not uncommon and we have others here who are undergoing the
same process as you now."
"Thanks," I mumbled and was acutely embarrassed. "I assume that you wont
divulge my secret while I am here?"
"Yes that's correct. To do so would cause you and us acute problems so
provided you make every effort to act as your new gender we will not
have to explain anything to anyone," he replied. "You may be excused
from physical education as then you don't need to shower with the other
girls until after your final surgery."
"Thanks that would be embarrassing for everyone," I agreed very
relieved.
"Your mother has given me your list of class choices and we have made
space for you in all your elective subjects," he said.
I saw then that my original boyhood plans to study physics and
mathematics had been overruled. Along with that my ambitions to become
an engineer would clearly never happen. I was though very good at
cooking and working in the kitchen so wasn't surprised that this would
feature strongly in my study of home economics.
I used to be heavily involved in sporting events at school so I felt sad
that I wouldn't take part in them any more because of my condition. Now
competing in athletic events would become a thing of the past and I
would only be able to look on from the sidelines. Dancing classes were
something I could do but I couldn't dance again with a girl. Mum
enrolled me into yoga classes she took with Ruth and I also regularly
did aerobics at home.
For that whole first year at school as a girl I felt that my secret
would be discovered at any time which would cause me humiliation and
acute embarrassment. When I got home I still had to help with the
housework and Mum and Ruth kept making sure I was acting in a feminine
manner at all times while Dad just treated me like any normal teenage
girl.
Mum arranged for me to get a job at a local goodwill shop and I would
spend Saturdays and Sundays helping out at the store. Although the pay
wasn't great I was able to choose items and clothes that people dropped
in at huge discount.
Worst was that when Geoff left to work in a different city, I found a
new boyfriend through a friend of Ruth's who told me that he really
wanted to get to know me better. George in his early twenties was a lot
older than Geoff and in his spare time he boxed in the local gym.
In contrast to Geoff, George was athletic and full of muscles. He was
also very handsome in a rugged kind of way, was reasonably wealthy with
a good paying job in construction alongside his father. I found out he
really wanted to date me and that succeeded in reinforcing my female
position. I was the chased and not the chaser any more. He sent me a
beautiful bouquet of flowers and the card said that I was the most
beautiful girl he'd seen in months and he would really like to take me
out on a date.
