"Reborn: The Transformation of Tia Williams"
0 Points
0
Titus, now christened Tia, was left absolutely dumbfounded. Born and raised a man, schooled as a man and enlisted in the military as a man, Titus was suddenly, without any reasonable explanation, inexplicably and overwhelmingly a woman. His boxed-in, rigidly-defined reality had been unceremoniously swapped with an existence that came with its own new sets of realities, challenges and triumphs. The world around her remained exactly the same as it was before the transformation, yet it had also twisted, warped and changed to accommodate her new identity.
Fresh out of West Point, Second Lieutenant Titus Williams had been eager to serve his country. His initial deployment was experienced with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty, much like the waves of emotions that continued to crash over him with his recent transformation. As Tia, she was experiencing life anew. The realization struck her that though reality had shifted, it served to accept her in her new identity, but not to diminish her position as a military personnel.
Her transformation was as physical as it was mental. A long mane of chestnut hair cascaded down her shoulders now, replacing the short, buzzed cut she donned previously. Running her fingers through it was a strange, yet somehow comforting action. In place of broad shoulders and muscular build was a slender figure, accentuated by feminine curves that introduced new angles to her uniform. Her face had softened, the stubble replaced with smooth skin, her eyes, once a hardened stare, now held a softer, more compelling gaze.
Tia was still adjusting to the use of her name, her new moniker, and even more peculiar was her own acceptance and association with it. In exchange for Titus, her comrades called her Tia. The peculiar part was the comfort she found in it, the unfamiliar familiarity it held. Nobody seemed to recall her previous identity, as if Titus was a figment of her own imagination, as if he never really existed.
The dynamics in her platoon had also changed. She was still afforded the respect of her rank, still Second Lieutenant Tia Williams now, her orders were still obeyed, her decisions still held value. Yet there was an undercurrent of unexpected newness in the way her comrades, her friends, regarded her. Their tough, masculine jesting yielded to a more gentle approach. She was still one of them, but alongside camaraderie, there was now an essence of protectiveness.
The transformation had broadened her perspective in ways she couldn't fathom previously. Forced into this new garb of femininity, she was bound to understand and experience the realities women faced. This, she found, had also inevitably transformed her into a stronger and more empathetic leader for her men, and yes, for her women too.
Only she knew the bizarreness of this reality shift, of this course of life she never chose, yet somehow managed to navigate. And in the merciless layers of arbitrariness that life had thrown at her, Tia found not just an altered self, but also an enhanced understanding of what it means to be human— be it a man or a woman.
