The Feminine Imposition

Just yesterday, I was Ethan Riley, captain of the Northwood High soccer team, all lean muscle and boundless energy, the kind of guy whose biggest worry was whether Coach Davies would run us ragged with extra drills or if I’d have enough time to nail that tricky biology assignment before practice. My body was a well-oiled machine, honed by years of relentless training – broad shoulders, a six-pack that peeked out when I stretched, legs like coiled springs. Life was simple: school, soccer, hanging with my best mate Liam, and occasionally deflecting the unwanted attention of Marcus Thorne, the resident asshole who seemed to derive perverse pleasure from trying to make my life miserable. Then I woke up this morning.

The first thing I noticed was the silence. Usually, my alarm blared at 6 AM sharp, a piercing shriek that yanked me from sleep. Today, nothing. Just the soft, hazy light of dawn filtering through my blinds. I stretched, a lazy, cat-like extension of limbs, and my hand brushed against my hip. It felt... softer. Smoother. Less angular than I remembered. A tiny alarm bell, distant and muffled, went off in the back of my mind.

I sat up, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. My room looked the same – posters of soccer legends, clothes strewn haphazardly, textbooks piled high. But I felt... different. Lighter, somehow. My reflection in the dusty mirror across the room caught my eye. I blinked. Blinked again.

The guy staring back was... me. But not quite. My shoulders seemed a fraction narrower, my waist subtly, almost imperceptibly, more defined. My skin, usually tanned and a bit rough from hours on the field, looked... softer, smoother, with a faint, almost translucent quality. My jawline, usually sharp and defined, had softened, my features looking more delicate, almost pretty. My hair, a messy brown mop, seemed to frame my face in a way that was less boyish and more... androgynous.

Panic, cold and sharp, began to uncoil in my stomach. What the hell was going on? Had I been ****? Was this some bizarre dream? My hands, trembling slightly, drifted downwards, over my chest, my stomach. Still flat, still lean, but the hard, defined edges of my abs felt... less prominent. Softer. My hips, when my hands reached them, felt undeniably wider, the curve more pronounced beneath the thin cotton of my pajama bottoms.

And then, the real horror. My hand moved lower, between my legs, expecting the familiar weight, the familiar shape. Nothing. Or rather, not nothing. Something else entirely. Smoothness. A soft mound. A delicate, terrifyingly unfamiliar slit. My breath hitched. A strangled cry clawed its way up my throat. I fumbled with the drawstring of my pajama bottoms, yanking them down, my eyes wide with dawning, abject terror. It was true. My penis, my balls, my entire male identity, architecturally speaking, had vanished. Replaced. By a vagina. A perfectly formed, undeniably female vagina.
