Title: Unseen Reflection
Officer Alex Hartley had always been an exemplary officer, at least that is what everyone in the precinct fondly believed. The thought seemed to remain in existence despite the radicality that had snuck upon the officer's life overnight. When Alex looked in the mirror, she was startled by the reflection of a woman staring back at her. Everyone, except Alex herself, perceived her as if she had been a woman all along and held no memory of the former ‘him.’
Unannounced to her peers, she possessed the memory of being a young cop, a man, Alex Hartley. Yet, none of the words registered towards anyone, even when she tried to voice it out her mouth refused to form the words. It seemed that every essence tied to Alex's former masculinity had been washed away like footprints on a sandy beach.
In place of her traditionally dark, crisp uniform, she found a similar yet subtly different outfit. Gone were the plain, hard-edged pants, and the uniform now included skirted bottoms, accentuating her newfound femininity. The uniform was a sleek ensemble, embodying the spirit of justice and equality as it latched onto her curves perfectly. It consisted of a navy-blue blouse with matching color skirt, glinting badge adorning her chest, and a sturdy gun belt encompassing her waist.
Her hair, once shorn in buzz cut military precision, now flowed down her shoulders like a river of silk. Each strand was a rich shade of chestnut, complementing her newly transformed features. Her hair framed her face, highlighting the sharpness of her eyes, the strength in her jawline, and the proud chiseled line of her straight nose.
As a female officer, Alex noted the difference in her job almost immediately. At first, it was the constant need to prove herself, to demonstrate that she was just as capable as before. Conversations had a subtly different tone, as if everyone slightly treated her more delicately. Then, there was the constant doubt. She spent a considerable amount of her time persuading her colleagues that she was more than just her new looks, that she could still handle the gruesome reality of the job.
However, there were benefits that her transformation revealed. She found herself more approachable. Witnesses opened up more readily, making investigations more streamlined. While performing her duties, she found unspoken compassion as strength, enabling her to manoeuvre through tense situations with a softer but effective stride.
In the end, becoming a female officer opened up new avenues for Alex, avenues she never dreamt of walking as her former self - a chance to redefine society's norms from the perspective of someone walking with two distinct identities. Anonymously living the dual life of both male and female embodied in one person became her secret power unknown to the world, she held tightly onto.
