Mathias wasn't that happy with his dating life. Chasing after girls was tiring. Girls had boys lined up for them, and so he had to put effort into "chasing" the girls and making him stand out from the other boys. He wished for a more reciporcal dating experience, where the girls did some of the "chasing" too. Of course, not every girl is the same, but if there are girls like that, Mathias couldn't find them.
Maybe the easier option out was to become a girl? The gender alteration clinic would make that easy. He didn't have another reason to become a girl other than a potentially more pleasant dating experience, but why not?
He travelled to the clinic. He greeted the women at the reception. She handed him a sheet he had to fill out before changing.
Of course. He could make further specifications than just becoming a girl. He could do a partial sex change, sexuality, or decide how feminine or masculine he wanted his new self to be. He wanted to be a normal girl. He didn't want to alter his sexuality, so he marked it to leave his sexually unchanged. He didn't know if he wanted to go all out with being a super feminine girl or something less girly. Actually, he wanted to be a slightly masculine girl. Like, he enjoyed working out, and wanted to keep some muscle. And even if this was all to escape hetero dating dynamics, he still wanted to keep aspects to some degree. There was an appeal to being the taller partner, the stronger one.
All set, Mathias smiled. He handed his filled out sheet to the receptionist. Some paperwork laer, and she led him along to a secluded room.
"Just drink the glass in the room, and the nanomachines will do everything. Just lay on the bed and rest. You won't feel a thing," she smiled.
"Sure." Mathias had already read the instructions. He knew how it worked.
He entered the room. There was a table with a glass of clear liquid and a bed. He drank the liquid. It didn't taste anything different from water. Immediately, he felt drowzy. He laid on the bed and quickly dozed off.
