Whoops Payback
By Marina Kelly
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is a
story about the aftermath of a wife's conduct toward her husband
continuing my story 'Whoops'.
This story was previously posted on FM; but has been heavily edited and
rewritten, thanks to the creative mind of Monica Rose. The ending is a
drastic change from my last version.

Carol had just arrived home from her office, poured two glasses of
Phil's favorite white wine, and waited for her husband's return from
work. Lost in her melancholy, Carol lamented her rash actions for the
thousandth time, which had put such a strain on their marriage. 'Oh why
hadn't I simply talked to Phil when I found all those female clothes?'
Halfway through her wine Carol began to relax and realized, at least in
the professional sense, things had gone way better than she could have
hoped for. Dr. Phyllis had rapidly developed an almost cult like
following among San Francisco's transgender community, known as the
psychologist with the bodacious boobs. Carol had offered to reduce the
size of his implants, but Phyllis declined for now. They had become his
trademark, and were partially responsible for the long waiting list of
clients. Ignoring the potential ethical conflicts of nepotism, Phyllis
had even referred several of her transgender patients to Carol's office
for cosmetic surgery.
Unfortunately at home, things had not gone as well. Phil told Carol
that he forgave her; but he could not forget her lack of faith in him.
He remained a real gloomy Gus. Carol had tried everything from sex to
booze to lift his spirits. So far nothing had worked. Carol sipped her
drink and let her mind wander, and tried to think outside the box,
contemplated various scenarios to revive their relationship. She ran a
range of ideas through her imagination. 'Let me see, every man's
fantasy is a three way - no that would raise the thorny issue of who to
invite. If we invited a man I would be left out. There is no way I
could compete with her body. Maybe just some role playing, hmmm that
has possibilities. Perhaps we could take a romantic vacation; I would
love to see Phyllis in a bikini. As Carol mentally visualized her
husband frolicking in the surf wearing only an 'itsy bitsy, teeny
weenie yellow polka dot bikini,' a broad smile broke out across her
face. Carol chuckled, "With Phyllis's body it would have to be special
ordered of course.
This all brought Carol back full circle to reality. Carol's first
attempt at sex with her feminized husband had been an unmitigated
disaster. Phyllis had initially rejected Carol's overtures outright.
Burdened with a great deal of guilt, Carol spent an inordinate amount
of time planning and seducing her feminized husband. She knew she had
to do something, and was fearful that one day Phyllis might lose
interest in her as a sexual partner altogether. Intimacy was only
consummated when Carol was the aggressor, and eventually he gave in to
her persistent advances.
Alas, conventional intercourse proved impossible as Phil's little man
would swell; but wouldn't remain firm enough for penetration. On the
positive side, the couple rediscovered the joys of oral sex. His penis
was still sensitive and with the right stimulation Carol was able to
give Phyllis a modicum of pleasure. Her medical books assured her
castrated men were fully capable of having erections; there are
documented cases of them achieving an orgasm.
Carol laid her head on the back of the couch and let her mind wander,
attempting to escape the nightmare of her life. She concentrated on the
memories of her recent successes in the bedroom. At the offer of sex,
Phyllis would feign indifference and put up token resistance. However
once Carol got him into bed and started sucking and licking his
erogenous zones, his walls of inhibitions crumbled like a sandcastle
hit by a wave. Carol took pride in her seduction prowess. Hers, and as
it turns out his, preferred foreplay was when Carol would work on his
hypersensitive nipples, she could get him to squirm and moan like a
bitch in heat. For those brief few minutes by alternating between
Phyllis's three pleasure points Carol was able to let her husband relax
and enjoy his new status of a man with tits. Carol was able to give her
lover satisfaction, albeit short of a sperm spouting climax, but still
it provided a form of sexual release he had been without for so long.
After her sessions of fellatio, Phyllis would reciprocate; however
Carol was aware his heart wasn't in it. She perceived it was performed
more out of a sense of duty than enjoyment.
The sound of a car pulling into the driveway broke Carol out of her
trance. She jumped up, her hormones raging and almost knocked over the
glass of wine perched on the coffee table. Rushing to greet her hubby
at the front door Carol glanced through the window treatments hanging
on the bay window. Her heart sank as she realized that the car was not
theirs. Rather the shiny new BMW parked in the driveway belonged to her
ex-best friend, Sue.
Carol answered the door and swung it partially open, and
unenthusiastically inquired, "Yes, what is it?
"Can I come in?"
Carol shrugged and replied, "Sure, where's your partner in crime?"
Sue nonchalantly dropped the bomb, "Oh Chris, he's gone."
A stunned Carol threw the door open and pulled Sue into her house.
"OMG, what happened?"
Gesturing towards Carol she announced, "You guys 'happened'. I blame
Chris for this entire mix-up. If he had been 'man' enough to tell me he
was really a 'woman', none of this would have come about. I was so mad
at him. I wanted to cut his nuts off and feed them back to him in a
casserole."
"You wouldn't!"
Laughing Sue said, "No of course not, all that blood would be too hard
to clean up; but it was an option for a while."
"Carol, what hurt me the worst was his actions destroyed our
friendship. The bastard is paying for that, I promise. I have been so
concerned about you...and Phil too of course."
Carol engulfed Sue in a sisterly embrace and tried to comfort her.
After a brief pause Carol said. "Sure I was angry, but I don't blame
you. I do blame Chris a little. After I calmed down it became clear,
the fault was entirely mine, I was a total idiot. It was too easy to
believe I was the victim, another deceived wife. I became so self-
absorbed in feeling sorry for myself I lost all perspective. It was so
simple to jump to conclusions, and to believe the worst about Phil."
The two women shared an emotional moment. Sue inquired, "Are we still
friends? I haven't heard from you since that day."
Carol responded by hugging her friend as firmly as she could. The tears
in her eyes clouded her vision but she still noticed the slightest of
movements in the porch shadows. "Sue is someone with you?"
Sue let go of her friend and took a small step back. She turned towards
the open doorway and said, "Oh my, where are my manners. Carol I would
like you to meet my new housekeeper, I brought along me so I could
introduce her to you and Phil. Chrissie get your ass in here!"
In walked a tall, plain looking woman wearing a red long sleeve maxi
dress, that was set off nicely with her short brown curly hair and long
dangly earrings that lightly grazed the top of her broad shoulders.
Carol's first impression was this woman lacked self-confidence; she
moved with a strained gate and wore way too much makeup and had a
diminutive bosom for such a large woman.
Carol stared at her new houseguest, her head on a swivel as she looked
from Sue and then to Chrissie and back again. Suddenly she had an
epiphany. In amazement she said, "Sue, I thought you said that Chris
was gone, if I am wrong this is going to be terribly embarrassing; but
isn't this your husband?"
Sue let out a belly laugh and looked Chrissie in the face and said, "Oh
heavens no. I no longer have a husband. Do I Chrissie?"
Chrissie stuttered out the response, "N...No Ma'am, you...your husband
no longer exists. He has been replaced with me, your devoted and
faithful attendant."
Carol raised a cocked eyebrow and stared at Chrissie, half expecting to
see a curtsy. But instead she observed a woman with an enigmatic grin
who stood perfectly still, her shoulders back, and hands demurely
crossed in front.
"Sue, what the hell is going on?"
"Alright, if I have to spell it out for you I will. As you found out
Chris is a transsexual and has wanted to live his life as a woman. I
have simply given him that opportunity. We had a long talk and realized
we still love each other so we decided to stay together, just not as
husband and wife. Chrissie is now my boarder, has her own room - in the
basement and pays me rent; but as a punishment for her keeping secrets,
she volunteered to become my permanent housekeeper. She goes to her law
office during the day and comes home at night. After her household
chores are completed she transitions into my friend/companion, and on
some special nights, my concubine. She really has a very talented
tongue. I am thinking about renting her out."
Chrissie shifted nervously back and forth on his feet and turned a deep
crimson red from embarrassment; but remained silent.
Carol's hand flew to her face in disbelief as she proclaimed, "Oh my
God! That means my actions have destroyed two marriages!"
"No dear," Sue gestured towards Chrissie, "Our relationship was doomed
for a long time. Chris keeping his secret was like the sword of
Damocles hanging over our marriage. It was only a matter of time until
it fell. So please don't feel responsible for anything that has
happened between us. In fact, I believe we are happier now than at any
time in our marriage."
Chrissie smiled and nodded his head almost indiscernibly in agreement.
Carol looked at the wine glasses on the table and said, "I am a
terrible hostess. Here Sue take this one, I will get another glass for
Chris."
Sue took a sip and said, "This is excellent."
Carol started for the kitchen and said, "Yes it is a German wine,
Liebfraumilch I believe it is called. Phil never cared for wine, but it
has become Phyllis's favorite. There are several more bottles in the
refrigerator. Let me go get a bottle."
Sue stopped Carol in her tracks with, "Don't bother with anything for
Chrissie. She isn't thirsty right now!"
Chrissie waved his hand as if to say yea, she's right.
"Excuse me, I believe I hear, Phyllis' car now. We can all sit down and
talk this thing through."
"Well if that is what you want, but I had hoped to take everyone out to
dinner. I've made dinner reservations for four at the new club on State
Avenue."
At that moment Phyllis walked through the open door, totally distracted
his head down as he was busily texting on his phone. He glanced into
the room and only acknowledged his guests with a mere nod. Without a
word he headed straight to the bedroom. The rhythmic clicking of his
heels on the hardwood floor resonated through the room, and was ended
by the gentle closing of the door.
Carol took a large gulp from her glass and apologized for the cool
reception and began to weep. "Well at least he didn't slam the door
this time. I am so sorry; he has become such a curmudgeon and a total
hermit. He goes to work and spends his nights pouting in our bedroom."
A concerned Sue reached for Carol's hands and said, "It's alright, we
can make it another night."
"No, please I would love to go out tonight, I am going stir crazy.
Aside from work I haven't been out of the house since that fateful
day."
Chrissie set his purse on the couch and stood up and walked toward the
closed bedroom door. Over his shoulder, he said, "As a lawyer I have
always had a gift for oral persuasion; let me give it a try."
Carol shrugged her shoulders in consent. She and Sue sat in the living
room, and drank wine and waited the outcome of the bedroom summit. They
waited, 10, 20, 30, minutes and still nothing. Just as Carol was about
to go find out what was going on, the bedroom door opened and the two
'ladies' walked into the room shoulder to shoulder. Both Carol and Sue
did a double take as their husbands were holding hands. Phyllis had
changed outfits and was now dressed in a pink scarf-type blouse and
subtle pink and gray plaid tulip skirt, his outfit was completed with
white three inch open toe wedge sandals. Without making eye contact,
Chrissie walked to his purse and took out his lipstick and compact and
proceeded to repair his lips.
Phyllis was two steps behind and said, "Carol I can't possibly go out
looking like this. Have you seen my lip-gloss? Mine seems to have worn
off." At which point Phyllis and Chrissie glanced at each other and
giggled in unison.
Sue leaned into Carol and whispered, "What the hell happened in there?"
"I have no idea, I am not sure I want to know. Let's get out of here
before they change their minds."
Sue glanced at her watch and walked to the front door with a "Come on
ladies, it's time to go, let's party."
Phyllis walked over to Chrissie, took his hand and led him to the front
door.
Carol trailed as she locked the door. As she turned to join the group
she was shocked to see Chrissie and Phyllis walking side by side with
Chrissie's hand resting on her husband's right buttocks.
Sue drove with Carol joining her in the front seat. Phyllis and
Chrissie slipped into the backseat and snuggled together. The drive to
the restaurant was uneventful except for an occasional tittering
chuckle from the rear. At one point Carol turned to investigate the
commotion and caught a glimpse of Chrissie with his hand on Phyllis's
happy area. Catching Carol's eye, Chrissie gave her a dramatic
theatrical wink and calmly moved his hand back to his own lap.
The restaurant lobby was crowded with guests milling around waiting for
a table. Sue confidently bullied her way through the throng to the
receptionist's stand and announced their arrival. As the hostess
checked her reservation list, Sue subtly slipped her a twenty dollar
bill. Amid a slight murmur of complaints, the foursome was seated
almost immediately. The four were shown to a table on the patio
overlooking a beautiful well lit Japanese garden. The ladies sat in
silence mesmerized by the relaxing nature of the four tiered terracotta
water fall that emptied into a fish pond full of coy. It seemed time
passed in a flash, as a handsome muscular young man seemed to
materialize out of nowhere near their table. All eyes turn to this
Adonis as he said in a deep resonating voice, "Hello ladies let me
welcome you. I am Peter. I will be your server tonight."
Then in a flirtatious manner, he added, "If there is anything you don't
see on the menu that you like, just ask for it."
Sue ordered a bottle of chardonnay and an appetizer of sliced cheeses
for the table. Carol and Phyllis each ordered the halibut special, Sue
ordered a petite steak, medium well and told the waiter Chrissie would
only be having a green salad with the dressing on the side, commenting,
"She's on a very strict diet. Isn't that right Chrissie?"
Chrissie replied, "Yes ma'am." Then he quietly murmured to his table
mates, "My protein intake is monitored very closely."
With a knowing smile Chrissie reached out and laid his hand on
Phyllis's hand and gave it a slight squeeze. With a wink at Phyllis he
continued with, "However, I do cheat on that occasionally. Man does not
live by bread alone. He occasionally needs a little meat."
As the waiter left, Phyllis shocked everyone with the offhanded
comment. "Girls, get a look at those buns of steel. He could crush a
walnut with that ass."
Carol, Sue and Chrissie about got whiplash whirling the heads to the
direction Phyllis was looking. Then everyone looked at Phyllis who was
grinning like a Cheshire cat and responded, "What? I was just making an
observation."
This produced spontaneous laughter from all four, which was loud enough
to attract the attention of several adjoining tables. Regaining their
composure, the ladies quieted down and waited for the main course to be
served. In low conspiratorial tones, they passed the time by taking
turns rating the asses of the various waiters that fluttered around the
room. In a unanimous decision Peter's was rated 'best of show.' During
a lull in the game, Sue said, "Carol, Chrissie has something important
to ask you. Go on dear, now is as good a time as any."
Chrissie took a deep breath and stared at the napkin in his lap with
his scarlet painted lips trembling, and said, "Carol as of last month
Phyllis is my psychologist and has given me permission to officially
begin my transition. I feel terrible about the trouble I have caused
the two of you. The question I want to ask is: would you consider doing
my cosmetic surgery?"
"Of course I will, when the time is right." Carol put her hand on
Chrissie's jaw and turned it to get a better perspective. She said,
"You have great bone structure and a lot of potential to be pretty.
Exactly what kind of look are you going for?"
Chrissie broke into get sobs and tears drifted down his cheeks.
Chrissie used his napkin to dry his eyes and accidently smeared his
mascara so that he looked like he had a raccoon mask on. Everyone at
the table refrained from commenting realizing it wouldn't help. Between
blubbers Chrissie managed, "I have no right to request your help; but
please I just want so much to look like Phyllis." He brought his hands
up to his small breasts and went on, "I am so jealous of her figure.
Could you do the same for me? I can't wait to have a chest like hers
that has been my life's dream."
Carol was dismayed, "Chrissie you need to really think about that
decision. What I did to Phil was a terrible mistake. If you want to
live your life as a normal woman you really should have something more
proportional to your body frame."
Sue reached over and patted her husband's hand, "Now, now sweetie,
don't cry; it will be alright."
Then a slightly sarcastic tone added, "We will find some way to get you
the great big boobies you want."
She lowered her voice so that it only carried to Phyllis and said, "I
need to speak to Carol. Could you take Chrissie to the powder room and
help repair her face?"
The two headed for the powder room again holding hands. As the two got
out of earshot Sue spoke, "She is so emotional now that the hormones
have kicked in."
"Sue, if your husband has just begun seeing Phyllis they should not
have that much of an impact already."
"I know, I probably shouldn't tell you this but I have been feeding him
my birth control pills for weeks and weeks and I made a copy of the
hormone script Chris brought home and had it filled at two different
locations. I have been feeding him a double dose every day."
"You idiot, do you know what could happen? He must be monitored very
closely. The side effects can be deadly."
"I know that is why I am telling you. I still love him and don't want
anything bad to happen. I am just impatient for the process to show
results."
Carol leaned toward her friend and asked, "How far does he intend to
take this?"
"Right now he only wants to appear more feminine. But, what he wants is
irrelevant. I intend for him to go all the way. Mark my words, when the
time comes he will be begging for a pussy."
An incredulous Carol asked, "You want him to be a complete woman?"
"As far as I know, he doesn't like men, so making him into a woman is
sweet justice."
Carol thought about what she had seen tonight and questioned her
friend's observations and began to wonder about her own husband.
"As a woman, he'll be a lesbian and will have to stay with me forever.
His living 24/7 as a woman started today. Chrissie had her first day at
work in skirts. That is one of the reasons she is so emotional. She was
read as a man and had several verbal confrontations, one at work with a
co-worker and one with a total stranger during the train ride home."

Meanwhile in the confines of the little girls' room the two former men
had a good laugh. Phil asked his friend Chris, "Do you think they are
buying our little act?"
"I think so, how far do you want to take this charade Chris?"
Chris contemplated the question and responded, "I don't normally make
out on a first date, but this is special. How about a passionate
goodbye kiss when we drop you off at home?"
Phil gave it a moment's thought then nodded his consent.
Chirs asked, "I have a personal question, can I ask it?"
"Of course Chris go right ahead."
"You know Sue and I don't have any children, if this goes where Sue
intends we never will. You can't have children. Does it bother you? I
have been giving the subject a lot of thought. Someday I might want to
be a father." Then, smiling, he added, "Or if I am really lucky even a
mother. Just the thought of some little rug rat calling me mommy gives
me goose bumps."
Phil looked his friend right in the eye. "Can you keep a secret?"
"Let me see, I kept my cross dressing a secret for 20 years, so I can
safely say yes."
"Chris, I may already be a daddy."
"What, you cheated on Carol!"
"I would never do that, I love her too much. When I was in college I
needed extra cash, so I frequently sold my sperm to the local fertility
clinic. As far as I know there may be dozens of little Phil's running
around. If Carol and I ever decide to have children we can always have
a turkey baster baby.
"What I am suggesting to you is while you can, save a few of your
swimmers in case things change for you in the future. I still have the
name and address of the fertility clinic; I will email them to you. I
am sure they will put them in deepfreeze for you.

Carol tried to digest Sue's statements when Sue cheerfully announced,
"Here come the girls now, forget this little incident and try and enjoy
the rest of our evening. Maybe we could even pick up a couple of guys."
Carol gasped, "Are you crazy? As a married woman, I will never cheat on
my husband; it is out of the question!"
"Oh, Carol, don't be an old stick in the mud. Sixty five percent of
wives cheat on their husbands at one time or another, so don't go
getting all goody two shoes on me. I have already started bringing men
home to get Chrissie accustomed to the idea. I haven't taken any to my
bed yet, but that will come."
Carol gave the idea of fucking a real man a passing thought. She was a
young woman with needs, but the thought of cheating on her husband was
too disturbing to contemplate. She took her marriage vows seriously and
would never violate them. This brief interlude reminded Carol of the
intimacy in her marriage that she had cost herself. It played on her
mind and thoroughly depressed her.
Sue anxiously awaited her response. Carol turned to her friend and
said, "I will never have sex again, if I can't have it with Phil."
Sue mocked her friend's response and said, "Honey, unless I'm going
blind I don't see any Phil, only a bombshell of a she male called
Phyllis."
"Sue, don't talk like that, Phil is still there. I admit the chassis
has been radically altered; but I refuse to accept that I have
destroyed the essence that once was my husband ??" he's still in there."
The rest of the evening was a disappointment. No one felt in the party
mood.
Sue dropped off Carol and Phyllis at their home. Carol was dismayed,
when her husband, hugged Sue goodnight and gave Chrissie a lingering
obviously passionate kiss on the lips. While they were lip locked,
Chrissie's hand again almost nonchalantly slid down until it ended up
firmly cupping Phyllis's buttock cheeks.
Carol chased Phyllis down and wanted to talk about the evening but
Phyllis refused to discuss the issue and went directly to bed.
@ @ @ @
It was exactly a week later; Carol had a terrible premonition that
something bad was about to happen and spent the entire afternoon
calling Phyllis on her cell phone. Every call went immediately to
voicemail. Her office was no help, all the receptionist would say was
the doctor was out of the office. About sundown, a chipper Phyllis
bounced into the house only to find a very distressed Carol sitting on
the couch working on her second glass of Scotch.
"Honey, where have you been all afternoon? I have been so worried about
you; I have been calling and calling. Please tell me about your day."
Phyllis was positively bubbly, "Carol, please fix me a drink, and I
will tell you everything, it has been a magical day. This morning I had
a new pharmaceutical representative call on me. Bob was his name, an
extremely handsome man with eyes that you could get lost in. After his
very professional and persuasive pitch, he invited me out to lunch."
A very concerned Carol sipped her drink, leaned forward, and listened
intently.
In a very nonchalant manner Phyllis continued. "I initially turned him
down."
Carol who had been holding her breath exhaled and said, "Initially?"
"Yes dear, he was so persistent and just oozed charm. You have been
pestering me about getting out more so I accepted his invitation just
to make you happy. He drove us to the restaurant that is attached to
his hotel."
"His hotel?" questioned Carol.
"Yes, I know that may seem a tad unprofessional. But Bob explained they
have the best lunch buffet in the area. We had a delightful meal."
Then giggling said, "I am afraid we both consumed way too much wine. I
knew I had too much to drink to go back to work. So I took the
afternoon off and Bob talked me into spending it with him."
Phyllis looked down and rubbed a stain on her blouse then questioned,
"How do you get red wine stains out?"
A very anxious Carol walked over to her husband and closely examined
her blouse. Using her fingernail Carol scrapped off a crusted blob of
material. "It would appear you have more than wine on your outfit. Care
to explain?"
Phyllis shrugged her shoulders and coolly responded. "Oh that, I am
afraid I have been a very, very bad girl. After lunch Bob, brazenly
invited me back to his hotel room for dessert. I guess some dribbled
there."
"You went to his room?"
"Well not exactly, it was more like a luxury suite."
Carol felt lightheaded and went and sat back on the couch. "Damn it,
Phil, tell me what happened!"
"Well we got to his suite, and I followed him into his bed chamber; and
lo and behold Bob had lied, there was no dessert. I just pouted as I
had my heart set on something sweet and started to leave, Bob stopped
me when he offered to let me a suck on his mansicle."
Carol's lower lip began to quiver as she sat and stared in amazement.
Phil licked his lips and said, "I don't understand why before all this
happened, you were reluctant to give me head. I find the texture and
taste to be indescribable, it was simply smoothielicious. I have been
told by my clients that every man's discharge is different. I can't
wait to carry out my own taste test."
Phyllis proudly continued, "Bob's virility was incredible. After I had
my creamy dessert he was hard again in just a few minutes. He helped me
up from my knees and lovingly laid me on the bed on my back. It was
fortuitous I wore stockings and not pantyhose today. Before I knew what
to make of it, he had my legs over his shoulders. He pushed aside my
panties and licked my man pussy, until I thought I would pass out from
the pleasure. Then he had my high heels pointed to the ceiling as he
rammed that magnificent pole into me. It was pure bliss, I knew I had
died and gone to heaven. Oh Carol, if a pussy feels half that good. I
am going to reconsider my decision on a sex change."
Then with a silly manner Phyllis jokingly said, "What do you think,
should I turn my dick into a slip and slide?"
A hysterical Carol began to sob uncontrollably and wailed, "Oh how
could you do this...to me?"
Phil stood callously and watched his wife's distress. He walked over to
the sofa and placed his drink down on the end table. With one finger he
scooped up a tear running down Carol's face and said in a sarcastic
tone, "Whoops, I'm sorry I upset you. You did ask about my day."
Grabbing his breasts, and lifting them up for emphasis he said, "You
did this to me and you have the audacity to cry. Remember dear, you
created this package, don't get upset just because someone found it
attractive and wanted to play with it!"
Phil went and poured himself a refill, stopping only when the golden
liquid threatened to overflow the glass. He stood over an obviously
upset Carol, and twisted the proverbial knife. "Honey, I need to ask
you a favor."
With tears dripping down her cheeks Carol looked up and replied, "What
is it?"
"I was wondering if you could find someplace else to sleep. I've
invited Bob over to spend the night. He knows I'm married; but having
you here would be a tad bit awkward. I'm sure you can understand."
Flabbergasted at his audacity Carol wailed, "No problem, you bitch,
I'll go to my mother's."
Phil turned and said, "Fine; but before you leave would you mind tiding
up the place a little, it really needs a good dusting. I want to take a
bath and get ready for my date."
Carol ran out of the room sobbing hysterically. Phil stood in the
doorway and yelled "Won't you at least vacuum the carpet before you go?
It will only take a minute."
In self-satisfaction he watched as she climbed into her car and slammed
the door. Phil coldheartedly waved good-bye and closed the front door.
Heading to his bedroom he thought, 'I have the whole night all to
myself. After spending the entire day in that boring seminar I am
looking forward to a hot bath and a good book. I probably was a little
rough on her, but she deserved it. Payback is a bitch; it must really
suck to be her right now. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell her there is no Bob;
that I made the whole thing up. Then again, maybe I won't.'

Carol had only driven a block or two before she had to pull the car
over to the curb. The tears flooding her eyes and streaming down her
cheeks made it unwise for her to attempt to drive. She sniffed and
collapsed into wracking sobs that seemed to go on and on. How could the
man she loved treat her like this? Even as she had the thought, she
reminded herself of what she had done to him. Why should she be
surprised that he turned away from her for someone else? She had
completely destroyed him as a person. Even now, Carol couldn't look at
herself in the mirror and honestly say that all the changes she had
wrought upon Phil had been because she thought that he wanted them and
not because she felt angry and betrayed by him.
Eventually, she cried herself out. The tissues she carried in her purse
had been used and were now sodden clumps. She used a couple of the less
mangled handfuls to clean up most of the mascara that had dissolved and
streaked down her face. She still looked a horror, but she would be
presentable enough to face her parents. She was glad that it was just a
30 minute drive. If other drivers got a good look at her, they would
wonder if she had been victim of a mugging. She certainly did not want
to risk being pulled over by a police officer either. The story to
explain her appearance would be too incredible and she was too mentally
exhausted to make one up.
Pulling into the driveway at her parents' house, she could see that
someone was home as lights were on inside. She went to the front door
and knocked tentatively, but loud enough to be heard. Her mother
cautiously opened the door and was appalled at her daughter's
appearance.
"Come in here honey and tell me what that bastard did now."
"Mother, please, your language."
"You are right dear, I am sorry, what did that 'bitch' do to you now?
As Carol walked in and she saw her father in his favorite recliner,
dressed to relax for the evening in jeans and a polo shirt. He took one
look at his daughter, without saying a word he stared straight ahead at
the magazine in his lap.
"Don't mind your father. He is in one of his moods. He has never gotten
over the shock of what you did to your ungrateful husband."
Liz held Carols hands and lectured as if imitating her husband, "Honey,
as women we generate our self-esteem from our families. Compared to men
who draw theirs from what's hanging between their legs. There is
nothing worse you can do, then steal a man's masculine essence from
him."
"Mom, if I could undo what I did, I would. I have apologized every way
I know how. I am out of ideas, I need your help."
Her father who had been eavesdropping on their conversation gave a
"Harrumph." Stood up, threw down his copy of Psychology Today and went
into his den and locked the door, mumbling under his breath, "It's a
little late for that."
Carol related her story of woe.
Liz was totally supportive and told Carol to sleep in her old room.
First thing in the morning she would drive Carol to a divorce lawyer.
This prompted another round of tears. Liz got up to fix each of them a
strong drink. Carol took the opportunity to go to her father's door and
tapped lightly, "Daddy? Please, can we talk?"
The door opened to reveal her father. Realizing how haggard his
daughter really was, he said, "Carol! Are you all right?" He was
stooping over in front of her, looking into her eyes to somehow
determine what might have happened to make his only daughter look like
she had survived a car wreck. As his wife came into the room, she
handed Carol her drink. Carol downed the strong drink in one gulp. Then
fell forward into her father's arms and wrapped herself around him. The
tears started again.
"Oh, Daddy, I have ruined everything!" It came out as more like a moan
than anything else.
Her mother stood next to her and wrapped her arms around Carol. The
three of them clung to each other for several minutes while Carol
continued to sob.
Her dad pulled back to see her again and asked, "What happened? Did you
and Phil, sorry this will take some getting used to; you and Phyllis
have a fight? Did he hit you?" Michael knew the whole story about what
had been done to his son-in-law. While he would agree that he had
plenty of justification in hitting his wife, Michael would not stand by
if Phil had begun to be physically abusive to his daughter.
Once Carol had regained control of herself, she went on, "No, Daddy.
Phil didn't hit me. He would never lay a hand on me in anger. He's too
gentle a person for that, no matter how mad he got."
Liz rubbed her daughter's back and said, "Why don't I make us some tea?
We'll all go out to the kitchen and you can tell your father what
happened."
Liz led the way for the three of them to take places at the kitchen
table while she occupied herself with boiling water and gathering cups
and the ingredients for tea. In short order, they were stirring their
cups of tea, inhaling the sharp aroma of the steeping liquid and
watching the wisps of steam emanating from the cups.
Liz and Michael looked expectantly at their daughter as she sipped from
her cup. Carol kept her eyes focused on the tea in her cup as she
searched for the words to describe her pain and shame. How does one
explain that your marriage might be over because the stupid actions you
had performed had turned your wonderful husband into an over endowed
slut that didn't love you anymore?
Finally, the pressure of her parent's steady gaze became more than she
could take and she said, "I know I have lost Phil, now I think that
I've also lost Phyllis. I want to die."
The silence in the room was deafening. Then Mike took Carol's hands in
his and said, "Oh honey. I'm so sorry. What happened?"
Michael's expression was sympathetic. As Carol related the events of
the prior few weeks, the look on his face morphed several times. He
seemed to go through the entire gambit of human emotions; shock, anger,
bitterness, sympathy, ending in one of love and empathy. Mike
contemplated the soap opera events his family was living through. First
and foremost was Phil's pain as Carol reminded them of everything Phil
had been put through in the past months, followed by understanding as
Carol had tried to atone for her atrocious actions and been rebuffed,
and then happiness when she related the one dinner outing that Phyllis
had agreed to. He ended up looking sad and incredulous when Carol told
of Phyllis' renewed distance after the dinner and the latest events and
his apparent dalliance with a man.
Mike spoke, "Honey, in my 30 years of clinical psychology, I have never
heard of plastic surgery causing someone to change their sexual
orientation. So initially, I would doubt the story of Phil's sexual
exploits with another man. Of course, what you did to Phil probably did
enormous psychological damage. Who knows what you have done to that
poor man."
"Michael! How dare you try and justify what that foul monster did to
our daughter!"
"Shut the fuck up Liz! If he is a monster, remember it's our daughter
who played Dr. Frankenstein and created him...her, whatever." Michael
knew that he sounded overly harsh to his wife, but his intended
audience was his daughter. If his wife could accept his explanation
later, then this might be the only time he raised his voice to his
wife, even after all these years together.
Liz sat there gob smacked, Michael had never before spoken to her like
that.
"Carol, my advice to you is to go back home and, on your hand and
knees, beg your husband's forgiveness. If he has sought solace in the
arms of another person, you must realize you drove him there. Go home
and be as loving and affectionate a wife as you can, maybe there is a
chance for your marriage."
"Daddy, you don't understand. Why are you taking his side? I have tried
all that lovey-dovey crap. Phil was always the romantic mushy one, with
all his psychology stuff. I have been the stoic scientist. I've tried
to treat him like a lady. I even brought him flowers and candy, none of
it worked. Phil refuses to let me back in his heart. He is the one
being unreasonable; he has to shoulder part of the responsibility for
this calamity. After all if he had been open and honest with me, none
of this would have happened. A tragic thing has happened to him.
Boohoo, he should just get over it already. I see patients all the time
with terrible deformities, I help them and they get on with their
lives. That is all I am asking Phil to do. He looks like a woman and
not just any woman a gorgeous one, thanks to me. Hell, there are
thousands of females who would kill to look as good as Phyllis does.
Why can’t he just get over it?"
"Carol you are my daughter and a gifted surgeon who graduated number
one from med school. How can you be dumber than a stick of butter about
this? He is your husband, not a lady. You have always been reluctant to
except responsibility for your mistakes. Besides, miss smarty pants,
Phil could not tell you about the clothes and the trunk ??" that would
fall under doctor ??" patient confidentiality."
"But Daddy, look at it from my perspective. He's my husband, how do I
treat him as the man of the house? He refuses to act the part and when
I look at him, all I see is a stereotypical caricature of a high priced
call girl."
Michael sighed, "This is not a small thing you have done. You have
potentially destroyed the best marriage I have seen in over 30 years of
practice. Thousands of couples have come through my office for
counseling over the years. Your marriage to Phil was the strongest and
most loving I had ever seen."
"Daddy, did you say 'was'?"
"Yes dear, you are the only one who can resurrect the love that existed
between the two of you."

Carol took another strong drink from her mother and retired to her old
bedroom. After removing the zoo of stuffed animals from her childhood
bed, Carol laid in the dark and sipped her Scotch. For the first time
she did some serious soul searching. Somewhere between the empty
whiskey glass and sunrise, Carol came to the realization she still
loved Phil despite his physical appearance. He would probably never
forgive her; but just maybe there was an ember of his old love still
glowing in his soul.
Phil was never movie star attractive. It wasn't his looks that
initially attracted her to him. She decided she was going to do
anything she could to keep her marriage together. She was going to woo
him and make him fall in love with her again. He might look like
hooker, but he still had the mind and soul of a man. She knew how to
attract men. She had been doing that since she reached puberty.
The next morning, she took a really long shower and ate one of her
mother’s fabulous breakfasts of eggs and pancakes. Helping her mother
with the dishes, Carl called work and took the day off. She then found
a local spa that had an opening, the first stages of her plan called
for her to get beautified ??" after all men are really visual animals.
Carol got the works, and came out looking like a million bucks ??" about
what the bill was, so it was a fair trade. Carol's next stop was at the
local boutique where she bought a gorgeous little black dress. Then she
hopped next door to Victoria's Favorites for the slinkiest lingerie she
could find. She made one more stop at the grocery store, thinking back
on the old adage 'The way to a man's heart in through his stomach.' The
rest of the afternoon was spent in the kitchen preparing Phil's
favorite meal. She had changed into her seduction outfit and had set
the table in candles and flowers and was laying the dishes on the table
as she heard Phil's car pull into the driveway.
The door flew open and Phyllis stormed in, tossed his purse across the
room and stopped dead in his tracks as he inhaled the wonderful aromas
filling the room.
Glancing up he spotted Carol filling the wine glasses and dressed to
the nines in her LBD. He simply said, "What the fuck are you doing
here?" The angry words sounded out of place coming from an attractive
woman in her high, girly voice.
Carol ignored the vindictive words and smiled lovingly at her husband
and said in a sweet and loving tone, "I live here. Where else would I
be?"
"I thought that you went to your mother's," Phyllis said flatly. He
looked at Carol almost as if she were intruding upon his personal
space.
Carol looked down for a moment, breaking the stare-down with her
husband. The last thing she wanted to do was begin a contest for
dominance with him. Tonight was all about him and anything he wanted.
"I did," she answered quietly. "But I realized that I love you more
than anything and I don't want to lose you."
She went to her pretty husband and led him over to the sofa where she
sat beside him. She took his unresisting hand in both of hers and
looked deeply into his eyes.
The thought of each atrocity she had wrought upon him sent a chill down
her spine. For one of her regular patients, her actions would have been
a work of art. But in Phil's case, she was only just coming to
understand how awful it must seem to him. Tears sprang out unbidden as
she tried to make him understand how sorry she truly was. "I recognize
that I treated you abominably and mutilated your body. I know you can
never forget what I did; but could you possibly find it in your heart
to forgive me? I would like a chance to win your love back."
For his part, Phil sat unmoving, looking at his wife. Her words came to
him and he understood what she was said, but they barely made any
impact upon the darkness that he felt inside. He had been blissful in
his marriage as Carol's husband and he had thought that she was happy
as well. And now he found himself stuck in this freakish body, one with
no nuts, a squeaky prepubescent voice and humongous breasts. To add to
the humiliation, he was still sexually attracted to his wife, but could
no longer have sex as a man. He saw himself as just an object of beauty
like a painting hanging in a museum only attractive to others but not
himself. To preserve his sanity, he had learned to present a strong
front to the world though; of a happy, adjusted woman; an act that was
proving financially rewarding because of his transgender clientele.
Phil answered his wife's heartfelt plea with, "Carol I'm not buying
what you're selling. How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and
found you had been kidnapped, your breasts removed and a dick sticking
out of you pussy?"
"That's not the same thing. Your scenario speaks more of hate and
revenge. What I did to you was done out of love. It was simply a
misunderstanding. It's what I thought you wanted. I was trying to give
you the gift of femininity.
Phil sarcastically replied, "Yea a present with a no return, no
exchange policy."
"Come on Phil, give it a chance, half the world's population didn't ask
for it any more than you did; but they love being female, you may come
to enjoy it after a while."
Phil thought on that for a minute. He hated to admit she may have a
point. But wasn't ready to concede the argument so he went on the
attack. "If you neglect a plant and fail to water/nourish it. It will
die. Do you really believe that now drowning the roots will make it
bloom again?
Carol replied, "Just because something has gone dormant, doesn't mean
it's dead. Please give me this one night to show you how much I love
you. I'll do anything you want to revive your roots." Not waiting for
an answer Carol pulled Phil out to the dining room. He sat at his
customary place at the head of the table and waited quietly as Carol
brought out the meal that she had worked on all afternoon. She ladled a
generous helping of the beef bourguignon that Phil had always liked.
Phil politely complimented her on the quality of her cooking and
responded to Carol's questions about how his day had gone in single
syllables. Phil made no effort to engage Carol in conversation and it
was obvious to her that she was doing all of the work. Carol resolved
that she was not going to accept defeat so easily and persevered.
As far as Carol was concerned, the meal was over all too quickly and
Phil excused himself, retrieved his purse from the living room floor
and headed off to bed. Carol watched him walk down the hall to the
master bedroom with an aggregated sway to his medically enhanced
posterior. The steady click of his high heels seemed to echo well after
Phil had closed the door behind him. Carol was glad to have not heard
the door being locked. Phil had actually done that to her a couple of
times, on those nights she slept alone in the guest bedroom.
It took her some time to clean up after dinner and then she braced
herself for her second assault upon her husband's stoic demeanor. She
closed up the house for the night and made her way down to the bedroom.
Opening the door, she saw that Phil had left one of the bedside lamps
turned down low for her. This act of thoughtfulness gave her some hope
that 'Phyllis' was not totally indifferent to her. She performed her
nighttime ritual in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom wearing
her new a floor-length gown.
The idea tonight was not to ravish Phyllis or call attention to the
fact he can no longer perform as a man during sex. Rather it was to
just let her girly husband know that Carol still loved him. She was
here to hold him and give him loving contact with another person. As a
surgeon, her bedside manner had often been criticized by her peers and
nurses. She was admittedly lacking in some of the inter-personal skills
that her colleagues, like her father and Phyllis, had in spades. But
she knew enough that everyone needed contact with someone. She intended
to be that one for Phyllis, not some travelling salesman.
She turned off the lamp and crawled between the bed covers. Phyllis had
recently taken to sleeping on the far side of the mattress when they
slept together, but Carol was not going to accept that tonight. She
scooted across the bed to spoon herself up against Phyllis' back. Upon
Carol's first touch Phyllis became rigid. Carol wrapped herself around
her husband, keeping her hands away from anything Phyllis might
consider an erogenous zone, and just hugged him to her. She pulled
Phyllis into the crook of her arm so the Phyllis's head lay upon her
breast.
They lay that way for several minutes until Phyllis' rigidity seemed to
melt away and he relaxed into Carol's arms. Phyllis laid there listing
to the heartbeat of his wife. It was not too long after that Phyllis
was wracked with sobs and Carol could not help but weep with him for
everything that he had lost.
Morning came all too soon; Carol crawled out of bed first. Her morning
rituals required considerably more effort than Phyllis, a fact that did
not go unnoticed by either party. As Carol left to fix coffee, Phil
adjourned to the bathroom to void his bowels and wash his face and
hands. A quick brush through his curly hair, some lip-gloss and Phyllis
was ready to get dressed. Before leaving the room Phyllis went back and
picked up Carol's favorite perfume 'White Diamonds' and added just a
hint to each wrist. After his cathartic cry last night he wanted
something to lift his spirits and for some reason, perfume seem just
the thing this morning.
He put on the new bra he had picked up yesterday. He could not go
anywhere without a good support brassiere. His bad back had been acting
up with the bowling balls attacked to his chest. So he found he was
only comfortable with a strong girdle or on special occasions a corset
around his waist. For some unknown reason while browsing the lingerie
department at Nordstrom this pink bra trimmed in lace caught his fancy.
Seeing it on display it just screamed at him. He had to have it. He
paid the outrageous price without blinking. Buying sexy intimate
apparel had become his current obsession. Wearing them detracted from
his manly self-image, but he didn't care, they made him feel good.
After donning his underwear, he selected a form fitting eggshell white
skirt suit. It had become his favorite. With its suit coat top, it
portrayed a very profession appearance yet still emphasized his ample
bosom; the skirt was too short for his liking, but the overall effect
was pleasing and made Phyllis feel like he was floating on air.
Carol had coffee and sweet rolls laid out on their small breakfast
nook. The sun shone through the window illuminating the table. Carol
prayed it was the dawning of a new phase of their marriage.
Carol looked up at her husband and couldn't restrain herself she let
out a low wolf whistle, which immediately embarrassed both of them.
Without comment, Phyllis pulled his chair further away from the table
to make room for his female endowments.
He sat he started to say, "Carol, about the other night."
Carol reached across the table and put her fingers on his lips. "Honey,
please don't!"
Pushing her hand aside he went on, "Carol, I need to explain and
apologize."
"No, you don't! I am the one that screwed up. If you felt the need for
physical contact with another man, it was my doing; I am the one that
drove you there. I am the one who should be apologizing. Can we just
put that behind us and move on. Please!"
Phyllis tried to continue the argument. But Carol stuffed a large piece
of the sticky bun in his mouth which prevented any further
communication.
Carol glanced at her watch and quickly finished her coffee, stood and
put her cup in the sink. "Leave the dishes, I will get them tonight."
She bent over and kissed Phyllis on the cheek. Grabbed her purse and
headed out the door.
Phil finished his breakfast chewing slowly, trying to digest the
emotional dynamics going on. Eventually, he headed for the door after a
quick stop in the bathroom to check his appearance. He added a little
hair spray, a touch more perfume and he was out the door. He had a full
slate of patients scheduled for today.

Wedged in his trusty compact car, he turned onto the expressway and
headed to the office humming a cheery little tune.
Ten minutes into the drive he was on the expressway, disaster struck. A
loud bang signaled a flat tire. Phil pulled off onto the shoulder and
swore under his breath. Watching for a safe break in traffic, he exited
the driver's side and cautiously made his way to the rear of the car.
Opening the small trunk Phil stood and scratched his head. In his life
he had changed dozens of tires, but never had he tried it with long
nails, high heels and wearing a skirt.
Phil bent over and was about to lift the spare out when behind him came
a screeching of tires and a shower of gravel. Phil looked over his
shoulder and around his blond locks to see a dusty old pickup truck
sliding to a stop a few feet behind him.
Out of the truck leaped a muscular young man in his late twenties
wearing levies, a tight white t-shirt, work boots and a cowboy hat.
"Howdy miss, may I be of some assistance?"
"No, that's alright, I can handle this."
"Begging your pardon missy, but you's way too pretty a filly to be
doing that. My mommy would tan my hide if I let a lady do that. Now
please stand over there where it's safe and I'll have this taken care,
in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Phil stood back in thankful appreciation as the muscular young Marlin
Brando look alike went about his business. As he was securing the
hubcap, Phil retrieved his purse and took out $20 to tip him.
The young man walked over to where Phil stood, smiled, and said, "All
done little lady, but you should get that flat fixed as soon as
possible; your spare ain't in any great shakes."
Phil stuck his hand out to shake hands; the cowboy rubbed the dirt and
grease onto his jeans and declined to shake hands. Phil stuck out the
twenty dollar bill to give him. "Please take this as a token of my
gratitude."
He shook his head and said, "Lady I can't take your money. I's just
being neighborly."
"But I must pay you back for your kindness."
He tipped his hat and said, "Miss, just helping someone as pretty as
you is payment enough. You have a good day. Now get into your vehicle,
I will step out in the lane of traffic to make sure you get away
safely."
Phil pulled out, lowered his window and waved goodbye to the Good
Samaritan.
It wasn't more than five minutes later that Phil realized what an
incredible thing had just happened. This was San Francisco, people
would never stop to help Phil, but Phyllis had just been treated like a
royal princess and nothing was asked in return. He replayed the entire
incident in his head and was astonished when he realized the young man
had never broken eye contact during their encounter. He had just met a
true gentlemen and it made Phil feel a funny fluttering in his tummy.
Phil pulled into his designated parking space, struggled to extricate
himself because the car next to him took the parking lines as
suggestions. It was bad enough getting in and out of cars with a bit of
decorum and gracefulness when the car door opened fully, but when it
opened only a few inches it was impossible. He was late and took a look
around the parking lot and noticed all the other parking spaces were
occupied. So he got on his hand and knees and crawled across the front
seat. He pushed open the passenger door. With his ballast being top
heavy Phil tumbled out the car and landed on the asphalt. Between the
seatbelt and his purse strap, he was unable to free his arms to brace
the fall. Unluckily his new air bags absorbed the shock; his sensitive
nipples were particularly affected. A very unhappy Phil stood, bent
over to retrieve his purse, clutched it tightly and brushed himself
off. Swearing, "Damn now I will have to take my suit back to the dry
cleaners." He took a hankie from his purse; in a very unladylike
gesture spit on it and removed a smug of dirt from his dress. He headed
toward the front door, and passed some jerk that stared lasciviously at
his chest. It was poetic justice that he actually missed the curb and
fell on his face because he was eyeballing Phil's jiggling breasts,
rather than watching where he was walking.
Phyllis smiled and thought, 'Serves him right, all men are pigs. I
can't help it if my massive attributes have a mind of their own when I
walk. That doesn't give him the right to ogle me.'
Phyllis squared his shoulders and strolled as gracefully as he could to
the entrance. As he approached the main door a distinguished older
gentleman exited. The man with a twinkle in his eye stepped aside and
gallantly held the door open for Phyllis to pass through and softly
said "Morning ma'am." Phyllis did the hair-flip thing and returned the
favor with a broad smile and simply said, "Thanks." From the expression
on the man's face you would have thought the old geezer had just won
the lottery as bowed his head in recognition.
Phyllis proceeded to his office with a bounce to his step thinking,
'Even in a pile of manure you can occasionally find a gem.'

The rest of the morning was routine. Three patients he referred to
general practitioners, one gentleman with simple depression he treated
with the prescription of taking a week off, packing his bags and
hopping a plane to a tropical island somewhere. The pill pushers would
disagree, but Phil always wanted to try non-pharmaceutical cures first.
One interesting case came in right before lunch, a young wife ??" in her
mid twenties dragged her husband into the office. After an extensive
search on the internet she had diagnosed him as having gender dysphoria
problems because he was only able to get hard when he was wearing her
underwear.
After a detailed interview, Dr. Phil simply recommended a good sex
therapist for the both of them.
At lunch, Phil went to the cafeteria, where he ordered only a salad and
unsweetened ice tea. He'd been eating healthier lately because he
enjoyed the way it made him feel. He took his tray and scanned the
lunchroom for somewhere to sit. His old male colleagues had shunned him
like a leper, but a number of the women, mainly the nurses and
receptionists welcomed his company. They tried to draw him into their
conversations which were usually about senseless woman's fashions; Phil
didn't have much to contribute so he sat in rapt amazement at their
perspective on the world, so different from the testosterone driven
opinions he was accustomed to. Phil thoroughly enjoyed their
companionship he was readily accepted as one of them, just because he
wore dresses and makeup.
After lunch, Phil had a case that consumed his entire afternoon. A
young chap came in consumed with self-loathing. He related his story,
"My girlfriend tricked me into going to a costume party, with both of
us dressed as hookers. I stubbornly resisted until she threatened to
cut off sex unless I agreed. She went all out, breast forms, corset,
five inch heels, a long wig, even talked me into having my ears
pierced, and tons of heavy makeup."
Sobbing he went on, "I reluctantly went to the party, she had to pull
me out of the car, and towards the front door."
Phil sat, crossed his nylon-encased legs at the thigh a pump dangling
from the tips of his manicured toes. A habit he had recently acquired
and took notes on the pad resting in his lap. As a form of
encouragement, he said, "Go on, I hear nothing extraordinary about what
you have said. Tell me how you felt about all that."
"In simple terms, I prefer the look, touch, sound, and emotions of
being a woman. I'll admit there is an erotic element to wearing a bra,
nylons and waist cincher."
Phil couldn't help himself, he sighed and said, "Tell me about it."
"That's what I am doing aren't you listening?"
"Sorry I was speaking to myself. Please go on."
"You don't understand doctor, once in the party, rather than being
embarrassed and hiding in the shadows, I loved every minute of it. I
was chatted up by every guy at the party and most of the women. I was
plied with drinks and danced every song. During one slow romantic
ballad, this really macho football player guy pulled me into his body
and kissed me with an open mouth. And the much to my consternation, I
kissed him back."
Phil brushed an imaginary piece of lint from his suit to buy time to
think. He shook his head in encouragement and furiously took notes; he
was now beginning to understand why his patient was here. The guy was
questioning his sexual orientation and wondering if he might be gay.
Phil inquired, "Did you enjoy it?"
Shacking with emotion the response surprised Phil, "Yes! But not in the
way you are implying. There was no sexual energy in the kiss; simply a
pure euphoria that my feminine illusion was so complete he accepted me
as a woman. I didn't understand why; that was so important to me but at
that moment it meant everything. Am I a freak doctor?"
"No, it is a natural human emotion to want to be appreciated for who
you are. You felt like a desirable woman and you simply reacted
accordingly."
Then the patient started to cry. Phil handed him a box of tissues he
kept on his desk. He dabbed the tears from his sad green eyes as he
related, "On the way home my girlfriend, whom I trusted with my life,
was ecstatic. It seems she had used her cell phone to capture the
entire evening. She threatened to expose me to my family and friends
unless I did whatever she demanded. Of course I capitulated to her
threats. The first night, with both of us still high from overindulging
at the party it was heavenly. We made love for hours like two women, no
penetration simply oral sex." The next morning, she woke me with the
announcement I would remain dressed as a female from then on, except at
work. For the next two months, excluding when I was in the office, I
was required to dress completely en femme. We got into an argument one
night, over something really stupid. I don't even remember what it was
about. She up and left me."
Phil inquired, "Did she carry through on her threat to expose you?"
"You bet she did, the vindictive bitch emailed hundreds of pictures of
me to everyone we knew. As if that wasn't bad enough she posted them
all on face book."
Phil curled a strand of his long blonde hair around his finger, buying
time for his feelings of D?©j? vu to ebb and eventually replied, "I see,
you hated being betrayed by a woman you loved for taking your
masculinity away."
"If it were that simple doctor, I wouldn't be here now. I don't care
what people think of me. I have discovered a side of my personality
that I like better than the old me. I have no desire to be some
flamboyant drag queen. I just want to have the freedom to live my life
as any other normal female. My parents are trying to force me to go
back to my masculine self. He is not someone I want to be. I love the
new feminine me. I like the way people treat me, better still I like
the way I treat them as a woman.
"The little things have come to mean so much to me, the taste of
lipstick, the smell of my perfume, the click of my high heels on the
sidewalk, the way my skirt brushes against my legs. Doctor, you are a
beautiful woman, you know what I mean."
Phil smiled at the compliment and said, "What can I do for you?"
"Doctor I'm depressed. I occasionally have regrets and doubts about my
new life style. I have thrown out everything regarding my old life. I
have no intentions to go back living as a man. Doctor I need your help
to validate the fact in my soul I have always been a girl."
Phil was taken aback by this young man's sincerity; he maintained a
sympathetic silence and eventually asked, "What about sex? Are you
interested in a relationship with a man?"
Without a hesitation he replied, "Oh heavens no. I like everything
about women. Men certainly have their place; just not in my bed. I will
spend my life searching for a mate; but it will be a woman."
Phil finished recording his notes and sat in quiet contemplation. Phil
had always made it a point not to get emotionally involved with his
patients. But there was something different about this case. He
unexpectedly found himself bonding with this poor schmuck. He had
openly agreed with this patient there was a lot about presenting
yourself as an attractive woman that was emotionally satisfying. To
handle his depression, Phil prescribed he take a day off and treat
himself to a spa day and a makeover.
With a sigh, Phil crossed his legs and listened to the lovely swishing
sound of nylons rubbing together made. From a ment
