I'm Not Supposed to Be a Woman (Part 1)

Depression

I expected to be happy after the Great Shift swapped me into the body of a woman. The first thing I did was go into her closet and pull out the fanciest dress I could find and put it in.

I didn’t anticipate her depression.

It hit me hard. I couldn’t explain how or why it was happening to me; I just felt it.

I slept in the dress. I slept a lot. I was still tired. Nothing could seem to pull me out of this slump. I told myself I was happy, that I wanted to be happy...I just wasn’t.

And I think I knew it was something about her body that was causing this -- about how her brain was just wired differently. I suppose it was interesting a way -- her body, my thoughts, but it was still technically her brain.

Inexperienced

Ron was still a fairly inexperienced driver at 19 years old, getting his license fairly late in the course of things. He didn’t see the woman on her bike, and it was a moment of shock when he hit her. Of course, it was even weirder when his own soul seemed to drift from the driver’s seat of the car and into the body of the woman.

It didn’t make any sense that he had become this woman! Her body didn’t seem injured by the impact in the slightest, which meant the only effect was the fact that he was now the one inhabiting her body -- which just didn’t make any sense whatsoever!

After several minutes of sitting on the curb and just being stressed about everything, he thought to check on his own body. This felt even stranger. It sat lifeless in the driver’s seat, and nothing he could do seemed to wake it up.

Swapped Bodies with my Mom (Facebook version)

It feels a little Boomer to post videos to Facebook, but I already have 2K followers there. Maybe this is the right choice? I dunno. Seems better than YouTube...

The Great Averaging

The average age of a person on the planet is around 32 years old. Around 60% of the world population is Asian. 51% are female. There didn’t seem to be any reason for how nearly the entire population of the world transformed into the same basic average woman. A guy like Jeff, who had been 45 and male before this, was now a 32 year old Asian woman. And he would pass by women on the street who looked practically identical to himself every day. It happened to mostly everyone.

Scientists were baffled. It was like world demographics just sort of balanced out in every single individual at the same time.

There were luckily a few exceptions -- practically in terms of gender -- but, still, running into anyone who looked the slightest bit different these days was a rarity.
