I think I owe you all a couple of apologies for this one
This story was written for the most recent $12 patron poll, and the winning prompt was: "A transphobic lesbian has her bedroom skills and memories systemically replaced with ones of chasing trans women." And that happened in... November. Oops. So that's the first apology: for tardiness. If it helps, I'm relatively back on track this month; January's patron poll will be posted before February, and the resulting story written far more immediately
Partly, the delay was down to life stuff. Partly, it was because I was wrestling with the prompt and how I should write it. Ultimately I elected to go all-in on the perspective of the bigoted central character as she transforms, because I felt creatively compelled by the idea that transphobia and chaserism are, in a sense, two sides of the same psychosexual coin when it comes to objectifying and dehumanizing trans women. This story doesn't pull any punches on either side
SO. CONTENT WARNING: this story is authentically vile. It is written from the perspective of a bigot whose violent bigtory permeates her point of view and the prose. It uses explicitly transphobic terminology throughout and depicts transphobic ideology intimately. If that sounds like it might be too much for you, I'd urge you to consider sitting this one out. If you take a look at the first few paragraphs and it turns your stomach, be warned that it does not get better, only weirder. That's the second apology: I'm sorry that this story is so gross and might not be very everyone
So.... enjoy?
P.S. No .txt file this time, because there is crucial formatting that cannot be expressed in plain text. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it simply is not readable or the same story without it
P.P.S. Thank you to my friends Olivka and Maggie for their invaluable beta reading and encouragement
