I loved this story, especially regarding her feelings about her breasts and her adaption to the bra. Small insights like that ad to realism. The reveal about Hazel and how it was her idea all along was fun and also the take on a middle sex, a third gender as you put it, and how that could serve to balance sexuality in a male-dominated society. Thanks for the entertaining, new slant. I do think, however, that it would be an easy role judging from how society still treats transgenders negatively instead of being the gift of diversity they are. -Clare
Glad you liked it! I do really believe in trying to get the small insights and details; I think that's a vital part of this whole capping thing - trying to get the little details to make it seem real. I do like the idea behind the LOBS and their philosophy; it seems like a nicer version of the whole 'evil feminists on a mission to enslave and sissify all men'. We may well see more LOBS caps in future. You're right, in that the LOBS recruits would not have an easy time of it in the current world, but things have changed a lot in just the past five years regarding trans-acceptance, in a decade or so, hopefully, your comment will be a lot less pertinent.
