You had waited two weeks for this appointment. In that time you had not had to shave and you had lost the small amount of muscle definition you had previously possessed. To make it worse your chest was tender and puffy. You feared that you were starting to grow breasts. For the last week your dick had remained the size of your pinkie finger and was totally unresponsive to any stimuli you could think of.
Your name is finally called. The psychologist Dr Westwood is a woman in her 40's. She bids you to take a seat and asks you why you have made the appointment
'I went to The Transfer clinic and swapped away parts of my genitals. I thought the swap was temporary but it seems that I legally donated my parts and I have no recourse. A company representative said I may be eligible for a free transfer if I got a referral. I guess that's what I'm asking for. I just want to be whole again. Not the freak I currently am'
You were there for 30 minutes. She asked you a lot of personal questions and seemed to dwell on asking about your motivations for having the original swap. You also were asked to describe the current state of your genitals 'I have a non functional penis but no testicles I have ovaries but no vagina'
When your time was up you asked 'So do I get a referral?'
'I think we need to monitor your situation. These are not decisions that should not be made in a hurry. Usually we ask candidates to receive counselling for a year before before we give a referral. However given your circumstance we should be able to speed up the process. Make another appointment for a fortnights time on your way out'
'But I can't wait another fortnight. I need a transfer now!' Your voice sounded shrill. Was it doing the reverse of cracking?
'I'm sorry you feel that way but it would be unethical of me to make such decisions after one consultation. Getting aggressive will not help your cause. Good day. I have another client waiting'
You were dismissed. You had to try very hard to keep your anger in check. Your only chance was to get this referral and you had come close to blowing it. Reluctantly you left the room.
You became only more frustrated when you discovered the next available appointment with Dr Westwood was three weeks away.
