One day, she finally built the courage to talk to her mom about changing her gender and identification.
“Are you sure you really want to do this, sweetie?” Mom asked.
“I couldn’t be surer, mom” Gabby replied.
Gabby and her mother arranged a doctor’s appointment to discuss the transformation.
The day finally arrived and they were now sitting in the doctor’s office, patiently waiting for him to walk in. Gabby was incredibly excited and …show more content…
a little nervous.
The doctor finally walked in and they began to discuss the subject. “We could start by giving you hormone pills for you to take and see how that goes. Eventually, you could go for surgery to get your breasts removed, if you would like.” The doctor suggested.
“I’ve been waiting years for this. I am tired of waiting. I’m becoming frustrated! You don’t understand what I go through every day, hating my body because it doesn’t feel right! You must have another option for me that is a quicker process?” Gabby replies. “Well, there is one more option but you would be a completely different person, your brain will be the only organ that will be from you. We will remove your brain and place it into a male body that is around your age”
“That sounds perfect! When can we do this?” Gabby asked.
“Hold on, you might want to sleep on it.
There are complications and this is a huge change, you will never be able to go back to your original body. There is also a major fault… you will not be able to produce sperm… meaning you won’t be able to have your own kids.” Gabby doesn’t care about the complications. She wants this change.
“I understand and I would still like to go through with this,” Gabby replies.
“Alright, mom, are you okay with this decision?” Doctor asks Gabby’s mom.
“Whatever makes my baby happy” Mom replies, looking sad and unsure.
Gabby, now named Gabe, woke up in the surgery room. He is a little confused and out of it. The doctor comes in and explains that the surgery was a success. Gabe finally realized what was going on and started crying of joy. He examined his new boy body in the mirror and couldn’t believe it finally happened.
“Thank you so much Doctor!! I can feel comfortable and happy in my own skin!”
“You have to remember the complications and if you start to notice anything odd, come to the hospital immediately.” The doctor replies.
A few days go by and it is time for Gabe to go back to school. He starts overthinking and becoming very
nervous.
“What will I tell them? How will I tell them? What will they think? Will my friends still be my friends?” He begins to think to himself.
He is starting to regret his decision and thinks about how he will never be able to produce his own kids. He starts to tear up.
Days go by and Gabe becomes depressed. He decides to go for a walk and meets a girl who seemed around his age. They start talking and Gabe opens up to her, tells her about his journey. She thinks that’s amazing and seems interested in Gabe. They exchange numbers and go their separate ways.
“Finally, things are slowly falling into place and starting to feel right,” Gabe thinks to himself while walking away with a huge smile on his face.
