"It's your choice. Go home and think it over."
Sherry nodded solemnly and left. She thought about it quite
a lot. She thought about how she had never quite fit in as a man
and how everything felt so right now. She had a few drinks in
thinking it over, too.
Sherry was wearing a pink suit and was waiting in Janet's
outer office when Janet came to work the next day. "Come on in,
Sherry," Janet said. They sat down and Janet didn't say anything.
Sherry took a deep breath and smiled. "I want it to be
permanent. When can we start?"
Janet looked solemn. Inside she felt joyous, but kept a
professional demeanor. She opened a drawer and handed her a piece
of paper. "Take this to the pharmacy, they'll fill the order.
Follow the instructions exactly, Sherry. Ok?"
"Sure, Janet."
Janet stood up and hugged Sherry. "Welcome to the other side,
Sherry."
