While wondering how to scan himself into the machine, he walked past it. He laughed at the simplicity as that simple action scanned him in.
It seemed fairly obvious to switch genders. There was a large button that toggled between male and female. He pressed it. Afterwards he scrolled down to "complexion" and moved the "propensity for zits" to zero. He couldn't think of anything else appearance-wise that wouldn't be fixed by being a member of the fairer sex. He of course didn't know what he would look like, but he'd have to apply the changes before he saw that.
Before he clicked the magic button, he went to the "personality" tab. Wanting to be exactly as he would be had he been born female, he saw a drop down menu marked "suggested quick-actions" in this section, with a button marked "to match female". He clicked it.
The sliders changed position, some were fairly obvious, "femininity", "submissiveness", "self-worth", "interests" all changed to represent a more female persona. One aspect changed that John couldn't figure out what it would do. "Complacency" it was marked. He left it at its extremely high new setting (the old setting was low), as he wanted to be a "normal" girl. There were three other options, modify reality to match, awareness, memories, and memory priority (grey if awareness is unchecked).
John checked modify reality and awareness, for he wants to be able to truely compare things to how they were. Memories he checked and set the priority higher than his own. He didn't want to "not know how to be a girl".
Double checking his settings, he clicked apply.
