I enjoyed the story and the use of the DNA change. Maybe some day they will be able to do something like change a male into a female like the story plot tells of.

Still I must agree that it should have been made a little longer, and I personaly like longer stories. But, I did like it and it was well done.

This was an interesting, "change of pace" story.
I enjoyed the premise and the plot.  I very much like the fact that the author is "stretching" the genre a bit, introducing new elements, re-ordering and re-arranging some of the "obligatory" scenes that most TG stories tend to usually repeat verbatum.

   I especially like that, In this case the Father is actively involved, unlike most stories in the genre, the father is absent or left out of the action---THATS what we need  in the genre more variety.  I also like the "layering" of action effects--  scenes where the TG situation of our protagonist(s) becomes secondary to what is going on ---  Such as the "police" searching the car.  more "aprehension" is felt in respect to the possibility of getting captured rather than the usual mulling over how strange it feels to be a member of the opposite gender.
  I deliberately employ this device in my own stories.-even more so, making the TG condition several layers down from the primary action--this tends to "Intensify" or "drive home" the protagonist's "matter of factness" towards his feminized condition.
   
  On the negative side, the story, as a whole, is much too SHORT and seemed too "glossed over" in places.  The 'makeup" scene even more so.  In my personal biases, I feel that this should be an important event, as it is HERE where the protagonist looses his male IDENITY  as the face he presents to the world becomes a feminine one.--some time should be spent on it.--Especially the Lipstick which completes the facial transformation.
  Otherwise the story is great, and such variants on the TG genre should be encouraged.

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.
