Many in the trans community had hoped the invention of body swapping would bring in a new wave of acceptance. Instead, it brought about laws to restrict the use of the technology and a social backlash that made being trans more difficult than before. A few radical trans groups formed to create body swap bombs using the technology, which often could switch around small groups of people randomly. They argued if they couldn’t transition into a body that felt right, then others would have to be in the wrong bodies as well.
Jenny could understand where they came from, but she certainly objected to their methods. Being born with male parts, she often wished she could use body swapping technology to become a woman; she’d even go through more traditional surgery if they still allowed that. Instead, she just had to deal with being miserable.
However, one day, she might’ve just been in the wrong place at the right time when one of those body swap bombs went off in the park. She soon found herself in the body of a woman -- one with all the parts she longed for.
But before she could get too excited, a man grabbed her from behind. At first, she was worried it was some sort of assault, but she soon realized it was this woman’s boyfriend as he kissed her.
“Thank God you’re okay, Babe,” He said, “I heard those trans freaks were out here.”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Jenny said flatly. Based on this man’s language, he certainly didn’t want to tell him the truth about who she really was. She knew the people that were out there in this world who would absolutely hurt her without a second thought. She knew she might get blamed for the bomb, even though she had nothing to do with it. The smart move here was to try to fake it.
