"Transition of Honor: Lieutenant Jane Eden's Uncharted Reality"
0 Points
0
Reality shuddered like a record skipping on the turntable as Lieutenant James Eden became Lieutenant Jane Eden. It was not a gradual shift, but a quantifiable transition taking place in a blink's time space. Unbelievable, yet not unimaginable, as if reality had finally caught up with an anomaly it had been ignoring for 22 years.
From the moment Jane opened her eyes, she realized something was different, fundamentally altered. A quick touch confirmed her worst suspicions as her fingertips brushed against two firm swells on her chest. The normal, sometimes frumpled uniform now hugged her body in ways they had never done before. Her official dog tags hung heavily against her breasts, the embossed name changed.
Jane Eden it read; a woman’s name.
A feeling of wrongness and rightness washed over Jane. The uniform she now donned was no different from any other military fatigues. Olive-green and presumably unflattering, yet it now managed to accentuate a figure she hadn't owned only yesterday. Beneath the buttoned jacket and trousers, she found herself wearing a well-fitted women’s regulation T-shirt and underwear. The stern boots were the same, yet they fit considerately around her smaller, slender feet.
She found a length of chestnut hair had escaped from her military bun, rather than the short crop she had kept the previous day. Her fingers managed to catch a feminine ID card as it slid from the pocket of her uniform. A torrent of new memories flooded her- her name change, college years as a sorority sister, a life lived openly as a woman. And yet, she still held onto the existence of James Eden - a name, a man, who seemed to have vanished from everyone’s memory.
Her drivers’ license, military service card all bore her female name and identity. Social media was no sanctuary either; timelines of posts, pictures all from a woman's life. It was as if James never existed outside her own cognizance.
Reality insisted, no forced itself, to only allow her to answer to female pronouns. Jane discovered resistance was futile, her vocal cords surrendering to the feminine lilt. The lingering memory of James’ voice, rough and affirming, slippery as water through her fingers.
New dimensions of emotions and attractions began to surface. Men, who she had seen as brothers and friends, were now becoming... interesting. The memory of the rugged appeal of women faded, replaced now by an inexplicable hunger for the male gaze. Confronted with these desires, her inclination towards women felt abstract, foreign and alien, as if trying to recall a stranger's dream.
Finally, there was acceptance, stemmed not from defeat but resilience. Ironic as it was, she was a soldier after all, and a soldier must adapt. Dressed in her military fatigues, Lieutenant Jane Eden looked in the mirror, a woman looked back - a new soldier in a familiar battlefield. James Eden was there somewhere, recessive, restrained but not entirely vanquished, and that realization made Jane smile. And yes, only 'Jane' echoed in her mind as her identity, leaving the gentlest ghost of 'James' drifting away like smoke on the wind.
Yet, she held tight onto one crucial fact: She remembered, she used to be a man. Until one day, she shakes her head in dejected uncertainty, forgetting the faint male name, leaving her in this new reality... Lieutenant Jane Eden, a woman at heart, she was, and she shall remain.
