Everything Has Its ups and downs.

Samuel was still surprised when he looked in the mirror to see the face of a woman who just turned 30 yesterday instead of his 24 year old male one.

So much in his life had changed in the aftermath of the great shift.

Like learning how to be a woman it was the most simplest of things that caught you out like putting on a bra or how to sit down in a short skirt or dress things that girls do naturally since they learnt how to do it from such a young age.

Some things were better this way like sex & dating as a man you were lucky if you got half a dozen dates a year,  you were expected to pay for everything & were lucky if you got a goodnight kiss.

But as a woman you could have as much or as little sex as you like as men are easy to control and would do anything for the chance to get in your knickers.

Which came with its own inherent risks as it was now up to you to remember not to get pregnant like so many men did after the great shift which gave the country the biggest baby boom since the Second World War as you know from experience you could not rely on a man to bring protection.
