We had formed the band and played a few gigs here and there before the other members gave me the bad news. They were kicking me out, but it was for the stupidest reason. They wanted to get a girl in the band, and a female bass player was simply “the trendy thing to do.”
I didn’t say anything; I just left.
But I would respond to the ad they put up online a few days later. They’d never notice it was me. How could they? I was completely in disguise. I looked exactly like the woman they wanted, and (no surprise) I picked up the songs almost instantly.
I was back in the band. And all I had to do was transform myself into a woman for every practice and every gig.
