"Dear Journal,
"It has now been sixteen days since the Great Shift. I have adjusted to being in a woman's body quite well up until today, which was the day of my first period. I had cramps; I felt bloated...everything people told me it would be. I hadn't missed being a guy up until this point--I had adjusted to other things, like make-up and women's clothing. Heck, I even caught myself checking a guy out the other day--A GUY! It was weird! But now, I just wish things could go back to the way they were; I wish I could be my old, male self again. But I know that's impossible...I need to learn to live with this."
