"Metamorphosis of Zoey: A Military Reflection"
0 Points
0
Zack, a newly commissioned 22-year-old second lieutenant, couldn't believe the words forming on the lips of the military physician. "It appears you've undergone some... extreme changes, Lieutenant."
The reflection in the mirror confirmed the inconceivable. A slender woman gazed back at him - no - her, with an identity tag knitted into a shared reality now imprinted with a decisively feminine name. "Zoey," it said. Her friends would call her "Zoe," she knew, though they had no recollection of ever having known a Zack.
Zoey examined her body. Gone were the solid muscles and broad shoulders. Instead, she saw slim shoulders accompanied by the unmistakable curve of breasts under her freshly adjusted military fatigues. The uniform, now accommodating to her changed body, was tailored for a female service member. It was loose around the waist and comfortably tight over her bust.
Her uniform was complete with her long hair pulled into a regulation bun at the nape of her neck. Just the other day, her hair had barely reached the tops of her ears. Now it flowed down her back, rippling like a mahogany curtain.
Her driver's license, her military service card, even her social media; they were all changed to reflect the new version of her being - a female. The gender box checked off was irrevocably and universally female, everywhere she looked.
Attempting to come to grips with the fact she was now wholly accepted and known as a woman was vastly overwhelming. She tried to say her old name, but the sound wouldn't form on her lips. It was as if her own tongue refused to acknowledge the man she used to be. Whenever she tried to speak of him, she found herself only able to refer to herself as Zoey—she was Zoey.
A strange thing began happening next: her preferences that were once tethered solidly to women began to swing in the opposite direction. She excused herself from lunch one day, the hungry glances of her male colleagues making her heart pound in ways she'd not felt before.
As uncanny as her physical transformation was the mental shift. She strove to walk, talk, act as she had always had—like Zack. But, her voice was lighter, her steps softer, her demeanor gentler, and her emotions more pronounced. She recalled utter confusion upon recognizing strange new memories surfacing in her mind - of being a young girl experiencing her first period, of buying a dress for prom, even of dalliances with male suitors. Vivid images of herself as a girl kept replacing any recollections of a boyhood.
However, she still possessed the knowledge that she used to be a boy named Zack. What that was like, what it felt like being him, what he looked like - she could not remember. Only the shadowy understanding of her past male existence remained. Zoey, though, was as clear to her as the bright daylight now illuminating her bunk and reality itself. She knew she was still fighting against the tide, but as memories of a female life surpassed remembrances of her former self, Zoey began to truly emerge, accepting her new identity.
