Brother and Sister        by: Suzi Page

 

Rob and Angela were seniors at the University of Georgia. Both were modern thinkers, very dismayed at the deep social and personal costs that sexual stereotyping has produced. Rob was a member of the Delta Kappa Upsilon fraternity, and Angela was a member of the Rho Gamma sorority. After many nights of discussion and romance, they decided to lobby their brothers and sisters to help lower sexual stereotyping. To improve their image with the University administration, both DKU and Rho Gamma voted for the experimental plan proposed by Rob and Angela. During the experiment the two organizations would be brought into a combined unit which would give members a less sexist view of world. Through the combination the men would experience some of what women experienced, and vice versa. Little did the university authorities know precisely what they had in mind.

During Freshman Week of that year Rob and Angela, taking part together in a DKU rush party, spied a rushee who seemed to fit their bill: Judd Frost, a 5'8" freshman. Rob and Angela exclaimed to each other how slight Judd was and how gracefully he moved. They went over and introduced themselves. In conversation with Rob and Angela, Judd was trying to make a good impression and agreed vehemently with their concerns as to the negative effect sex stereotyping had had on American society.

Rob and Angela informed Judd of their fraternity’s and sorority’s plan to combat sex stereotyping by the fraternity brothers and sorority sisters. "What a constructive idea!" Judd enthused. In response Rob and Angela explained that there was to be a trial period where a few members of each organization would work out the kinks in that combination approach.

After the party Rob recommended to his brothers that Judd would be a good member for their fraternity and that he would be and ideal test case for their anti-stereotyping plan. One week later, Judd was invited to be a brother in DKU, and Rob and Angela were designated his pledge advisors. Judd moved into the fraternity house a day later.

In the evening of the day he moved in, Rob and Angela came to Judd’s room, welcomed him, and explained that he had been chosen as the DKU pledge to try out the new philosophy of joint DKU/RG membership and that his initiation was to be in the spirit of the new philosophy of membership. This initiation would work as follows. Over that academic year, on each Wednesday and each Saturday Judd would be expected to begin experiencing a new aspect of combining the activities that by the unthinking were designated as masculine and feminine. Each experience would be continued through the academic year, with a new experience added on each half week. Judd said that he looked forward to the educational experience. He happily accepted the DKU fraternity pin which Rob presented him, with the instruction that he should wear it on his shirt over his heart for the whole academic year.

On the very next Tuesday, the third in September, Rob and Angela laid out to Judd his first experience. Beginning the next morning he was to let his hair grow, to shampoo and condition it daily, and to keep it always well combed. Judd’s hair was a light brown and was already full, cut in a medium-length male style. Judd found the washing and conditioning took an extra 10 minutes each morning, and he found it useful to purchase a large comb so that he could comb his full hair many times per day to keep it beautiful. Though most men do not keep their hair so nice looking, Judd became very proud of his and aware of how much work it took to achieve beautiful hair, work that women typically find worthwhile but that men normally do not learn to appreciate. He received compliments from time to time on his hair from girls before class, but other boys did not notice.

On the next Friday evening, at Rob and Angela’s meeting with Judd, they exclaimed at how nice his hair looked, and then they gave him a bottle of vitamin pills. They explained that females frequently took vitamins to help their well-being and to keep their complexion looking clear. They mentioned that what helped the complexion was the small dose of female hormones in these vitamin pills but that side effects of these hormones would go away after Judd stopped taking them. Judd was to take one of these vitamins each morning and inform Rob and Angela when he would shortly need a new bottle. On the next morning and all mornings from then on, Judd took his vitamin after he dried his hair. His health was good and remained so, and he was happy that his complexion could be expected to remain clearer than it otherwise might. Men pay too little attention to their complexion, he thought.

On the last Tuesday in September, Rob and Angela explained to Judd that his cotton boxer shorts were rougher feeling and homelier than was necessary, and that women had the advantage of wearing nylon panties. These were lighter, had a lovely smooth feel, and were available in beautiful pastel colors and with attractive decorations. They put in front of Judd a box of pretty panties in hip-hugger and full panty styles. There were panties in pink, in white, in baby blue, in yellow, in peach, and in mint color. Each pair had cotton on the inside of the bottom of the panties, and shiny satin on the outside. Some of the panties had bows on each side; others had lacy panels in the front. Most had lace at the leg openings, and some had lace at the waist. One had fancy ruffles on the rear. As Angela emptied the panty box onto the bed, she asked Judd where he kept his boxer shorts. Together they went to the drawer. Angela removed all of the boxers from the drawer and placed them in the panty box. In their place in his dresser drawer she placed the panties and gave Rob the box to take away for storage. Judd had never expected the opportunity to enjoy the comfort of such underwear and to wear such beautiful items next to his skin. He realized that he was going to have to be careful not to expose them when in the men’s room. He was proud of his lack of sex stereotyping, but he knew that many other men would give him a hard time if they spied his panties.

The next day, after coming out of the shower, Judd combed his conditioned hair, which was now a little bit longer than he had formerly kept it, but still just down to his collar. He took his vitamin and went to his room to dress. Taking off his bathrobe, he went to his panty drawer and chose a pair he thought particularly beautiful. It was pink satin hip-huggers with bows on each side and lovely lace at both the waist and leg openings. Pulling them on felt unusual, but once on, they felt wonderful. However, he had not realized that his penis would have no special space, so it would either need to be plastered over his tummy or tucked between his legs. The tuck looked so much nicer, so tuck he did, that day and for the rest of the year. Then on went his T-shirt, his shirt, and his pants. The panties were not apparent, but they felt soooo good. That evening he was loathe to remove them when he went to bed, but he did, looking forward to the new pair he would wear on the next day. After a week, he was more used to the panties, but he found them so comfortable and beautiful that he felt very superior to other sexist males who had to wear men’s underpants.

In the morning of the last Saturday in September Angela and Rob knocked on Judd’s door just as he was pulling his pants up over his panties. Angela suggested that he put on some shorts instead, in preparation for the next experience. Toenails, she explained, were dull at best in their natural state, but women could experience having lovely toenails because they could paint them. She brought out of her purse a bottle of iridescent, deep pink polish, a bottle of polish remover, and a plastic bag of cotton balls. Giving eight cotton balls to Judd, she instructed him to put them between his toes and to prop his feet up on a low table near his sofa. She showed him how to adjust the cotton balls so that the nails were free to the nail polish brush but the toes were kept apart, exposing each nail fully. She brushed a coat of polish on each nail, and Judd was entranced at how beautiful his toenails became. While they were drying, Angela explained how to push the brush against the rim of the polish bottle to leave just the right amount for one toe and how to direct the brush so the nail would be covered with polish but no polish would get on his skin. Once the coat of polish that Angela had applied was dry, a process that took longer than Judd expected, Judd began putting on a second coat. Doing it right took a bit of practice for him, and Angela had to remove the polish from one nail when Judd missed. However, after ¾ of an hour, Judd was impressed how even more beautiful his shiny pink iridescent toenails were than after the first coat. Being careful that the polish was dry, he regretfully put his socks over them. He was surprised that the shininess showed through the socks, just a bit. Enough that he could see, but little enough that an unsuspecting male would not notice, even if Judd was walking in his socks or had sandals and socks on. But for the rest of the day he had his shoes and his long pants on.

That night, as Judd put on his pajamas, in compensation for having to remove his panties, Judd had the thrill of exposing his lovely toenails, which he had not seen since the morning. He had learned that once per week he would need to remove the old polish, trim his nails, and put on new, if chips were not to appear, so he scheduled 30 minutes each Sunday before going to bed to renew his lovely nails. Gee, he thought, girls have time consuming chores to look and feel the way they do. But upon going to class on Monday he felt so superior to the other men, with their rough, ugly underpants and dull toenails, and he felt a sisterhood with the girls in his class. That extra time is worth every minute, he concluded.

It was the first Tuesday in October, and the air was getting a little nippy. Rob and Angela appeared that evening in Judd’s room with his next experience. They had a bag with four 3-pair packets of opaque black nylon knee-highs characterized as "smooth as silk" on the package. They said that beneath pants these would look like high black socks; no one would know the difference. But they would feel smooth and silky, and the feel of his pant legs rubbing against Judd’s nylon-encased calf would be entrancing. And so Judd found them to be the next morning when he took the first pair out of the drawer from which all of his socks had been removed, replaced by these stockings. Why, he thought, had men chosen to continue to wear cotton and orlon socks, when these nylon stockings were so fine? He could wear these lovely stockings over his polished toes and his panties under his pants, and he could enjoy them to the sky without anyone knowing, except that they saw the frequent smile on his face. Of course, he did exercise a bit of care when he did his weekly clothes wash so that no one besides his frat brothers should come by and realize that it was his wash that contained nylon panties and knee-highs. Some of his brothers giggled behind closed doors at the contents of Judd’s wash, but other of the brothers counseled these gigglers to be more sensitive to feminine ways.

On the next Saturday Angela and Bob brought Judd a medium-width women’s belt with a gold buckle and requested that he use it henceforth in place of the man’s belt he had worn till then. Judd was a little worried at wearing a women’s item exposed to the world for the first time, but then he realized that his stockings were also exposed but no one realized what they were. He reasoned, quite correctly, that it would be hard for people to realize that his belt was sold for women, even though, compared to most men’s belts, it had somewhat more shiny gold surface beyond the clasp and was a bit more delicate on the sides of the buckle. And he was convinced by Angela’s argument that being able to look at this belt on him all the time, with its pretty gold buckle and shiny black snakeskin finish, would make him feel more how a woman felt about her pretty outerwear.

Angela then told him that in preparation for the experience on the following Wednesday she would need to measure his waist, hips, and inseam. She brought out a tape measure and found his waist to be 29". On Wednesday morning she and Rob appeared with two pairs of manstyled women’s slacks and a man’s handbag. The slacks were dark blue and maroon, respectively. Being manstyled, they did not flair much at the hips or at the bottom, they closed with a fly, and the legs did not narrow much. Still, they had no rear pockets, thus making the handbag necessary and making them smooth across his rear. The color was also just a bit brighter than average for man’s slacks, the waistband was a bit higher and broader, and the fabric was a bit smoother than normal for a man. And they were lined with silk. With his woman’s belt the slacks really looked quite nice, and their lined softness on his upper legs felt superb. Judd moved his wallet, key case, comb, and Swiss army knife to the heavy leather shoulder bag that Rob had brought. He knew he had to concentrate to take this bag with him whenever he went from one place to another. This experience would make him appreciate the routine of women.

Angela asked Judd to meet her at a shoe store in a nearby mall after his 2 o’clock class on the next day. She sat Judd down and went off to get a women’s shoe sizer. Judd took off his men’s penny loafers and put his black stockinged foot into the sizer. 9½B, they decided. Angela said that she thought that black shoes would go well with Judd’s blue trousers, and cordovan ones would go well with his maroon ones. On Friday evening Rob and Angela arrived bearing two new pairs of women’s penny loafers. While the shoes were hard to distinguish from male loafers when on, they were on the delicate side, and inside them it was noted that they were a size 9½B American Girl rather than the size 8B Florsheims that Judd had worn mostly till that time. Putting them on, Judd thought with a start, "Below the waist I have entirely women’s clothes, and I have my beautifully decorated toenails." That made him feel so special every day from then on. And the leather heels on his American Girl’s made a pleasant click as he walked, as compared to the wider, rubber heels on his old shoes.

It was mid-October. When back at the frat house, Judd usually wandered about in his brown fully-backed male slippers, which covered his polished toes. When Rob and Angela presented him with a pair of backless, blue terrycloth slippers with no heels, they said they would be even more convenient to slip on and yet still hide his lovely toes from those visiting the fraternity who would not understand. It took some getting used to for them not to slip off, but after awhile he appreciated these prettier and easier to use slippers.

Four days later it was a set of ten women’s white nylon undervests that Rob and Angela arrived with. While unlike Judd’s accustomed T-shirts they had no sleeves and they had some small decoration at the open neck and at the bottom, through a shirt their shape could pass for a sleeveless man’s undershirt. But their texture certainly was not like what men usually feel. Even before he put them on, Judd knew, from the panties he wore and loved, that the silky feel of the nylon would feel wonderful on his chest and back. What a pleasure it was to be rid of men’s underwear!

Three days after that Rob presented Judd with an astoundingly pretty, shiny wide gold necklace. Necklaces of that width were now being worn by both men and women, though a generation ago, only women could be seen with such a piece of jewelry. But for Judd, wearing this piece 24 hours a day made him feel one with all of the Georgia women, who were never seen without a necklace on. During the day the necklace mostly hid under his shirt collar, but he saw it glisten at his throat.

It was now six weeks into his experiment. Judd was given a set of disposable women’s razors and a can of shaving cream, and he was asked to shave his legs twice a week. He was also given a bottle of body lotion to remove the burning feel after shaving. He found that the lotion felt and smelled lovely on his legs. The next morning, after shampooing and conditioning his hair, shaving his legs and oiling his skin, he looked down at his smooth legs finished off with pink toenails and thought "What pretty legs I have. What a shame it is to hide them with my long pants all the time.’ But when he pulled on his knee-highs, he found that the feel of his nylons on his silky smooth calf was enhanced, and putting on his pants which brushed on his sensitized legs made him want to wear such an outfit forever.

During his next shower, after shaving his legs, it occurred to Judd that women also shave their underarms. Why not, he thought? No one will see, and it will increase my feminine experience. When that Saturday Rob and Angela asked Judd to begin shaving his underarms, he surprised them with the fact that he was already doing that and putting the skin lotion on there, too. He said that he found putting roll-on deodorant a little drippy now, and Angela suggested that he switch to a women’s spray-on.

At the next meeting Rob and Angela noted that women were hairless also on their chest, back, and stomachs but that Rob had some light hair there. He was given a bottle of Nair and told to smooth the cream on it in these areas twenty minutes before his shower once every two weeks. Rob found the cream smelly and itchy and the need for extra time a drag, but he understood that it would contribute to his feminine experience. It was now early November, six weeks since had begun taking his vitamins, and the first time he used the Nair he found his breasts a little puffy and sensitive. He wondered about that, fantasizing that the sensitivity to women he was developing might lead him to see himself to have physical sensitivities like them.

On Tuesday evening, Judd looked forward to what Angela and Rob would bring next. It was a number of plain-colored man-styled Ship’n’Shore front-buttoning blouses, styled not too differently from men’s shirts. Some were in pastel blue and some in pastel green. He was to wear these in place of the men’s shirts they took away, to experience buttoning the way women do, right-over-left. They pointed out that, though you would not really suspect if you did not know, he was now wearing entirely clothes manufactured for females. As a result they said that he now deserved to receive his Rho Gamma sorority pin to wear proudly next to his DKU fraternity pin. He would be the first male with such an honor.

As he pinned on the sorority pin over his heart next to his fraternity pin, he thought again that his chest seemed a bit fuller than it once been, pushing out both the bottom of his necklace and his pin. He had started to realize that this might be an effect of his vitamins, but he also put it to the pride he felt in wearing these pretty pins. When some of his classmates asked about the pair of pins, he explained the importance of the experiment in combating sex stereotyping upon which his fraternity and sorority were embarked.

Now a sister in the Rho Gamma sorority, Judd was welcome to spend time in the Rho Gamma house, and Angela suggested that he take advantage of this possibility to get to know the sisters in informality. One evening while studying in the Rho Gamma lounge, a short-haired young woman wearing a rough blue shirt, baggy jeans, heavy white socks, and loafers wandered in and introduced herself as Corinda Allen. Despite her masculine look Judd found her personality very attractive. After some discussion it turned out that Corinda was his counterpart at Rho Gamma, a woman pledge learning something about how a man lived. She was excited by Judd’s grace, beauty, and understanding, and they made a date to attend a movie together during the week after Thanksgiving.

Judd had not informed his parents about his participation in the experiment, and now it was time to go home for Thanksgiving. The hair on Judd’s head had not been cut for more than two months, and Judd’s parents noted that it was coming over his collar and that his clothes were more colorful than he had previously worn. When they commented on his hair, Judd said that long hair was in style on campus, and since he took good care of his hair and kept it shiny, he guessed he would let it grow some more. However, one day his mother said she had been in his room to see if he needed any clothes washed and came upon the panties, stockings, nylon vests in his drawer and saw the Ship’n’Shore labels on the shirt there. "Why was he wearing such clothes," she demanded? "Was he a sissy?" "No," he explained, "it is an important part of my education." After he laid the plan out further, Judd’s Mom agreed to the usefulness of his experiences, but she suggested that for now he not tell his Dad.

Upon his return to campus, Angela and Rob said that Judd would feel more feminine if he Naired his arms when he used the cream to depilate the other parts of his body. Sure enough, his now smooth, hairless body, except for his pubic and head hair and the light beard that he had to shave three times per week, made him feel so sensuous. It became particularly exciting when at their next visit, Rob and Angela brought some lacy camisoles, five with spaghetti straps and five with wide straps with ribbons woven in and edged with lace. These were to replace his vests, they said. Even though the blouses that he was wearing were heavy, the shape of the camisole and the lace slightly showed through. But it being winter, Judd normally wore a sweater or sweatshirt over his blouse, so this was not a problem. Having the dainty camisoles on made him feel so womanly, especially since he was wearing silky, soft women’s clothes entirely.

But at night he was still dressed in man’s pajamas and used a man’s robe. At least until his pledge advisors appeared with a yellow women’s terrycloth bathrobe that he was henceforth to use. While it had small satin roses on the two pockets, he reasoned that men like to smell and receive roses as much as women do.

Less manly were the opaque black pantyhose that were delivered to replace his knee-highs on most days. They made his hairless upper legs feel oh, so great against his silk-lined trousers. And being opaque, his feet looked no different than with the knee-highs. However, the maroon pantyhose that he was to wear with his maroon trousers were a bit more colorful than most men’s socks.

Judd’s hair had not been cut in over three months, since before he arrived in Athens. In the front he had to push it out of his eyes when it fell over them. In the back it was shiny and full and came to the top of his back. Angela suggested that it was long enough to tie into a short ponytail with an elastic band and that they could trim it in front so that it would not fall in his eyes. When they had done so, Judd looked at himself in the mirror. His cheeks were fuller than he remembered them, and while people who knew him could still think of him as a fellow, new acquaintances might wonder whether he was a girl without makeup. Still the girls in class exclaimed at how pretty his hair now looked.

Saturday night was the time for his date with Corinda. As they left, she suggested that Judd call her Cory and she would call him Judy, to increase their experiencing both sexes at once. The movie they went to was about a couple where the man demanded that his wife not only do the housework but mow the grass and tend to their large yard and was not understanding when things were not done in time. After the movie, in the coffee shop Cory asked Judy why men behaved like that, and she was so attracted to him when he said that was because most men were taught wrong and did not have the kind of experiences that they two had, to keep them from acting according to their genetic predisposition. From then on Cory and Judy began to study together each night in the Rho Gamma lounge.

On one of Judd’s trips to the Rho Gamma house, one of the sisters, named Jo, suggested that his face would be more consistent with his clothes if he experienced the feminine process of trimming his eyebrows. She escorted him first to the kitchen where she put an ice cube in a bowl and then led him to her room, where she sat him in front of her vanity mirror and picked up her tweezers. Jo used the ice to deaden the pain and pulled out many hairs at the lower edge of his brow and a few on the ends near the bridge of his nose. She made the line at the top nicely regular, so that when Judd looked at himself he saw the nicely arched, moderately thin brow that was the feminine style. Still, he thought, the brow had enough fullness that it might barely pass on a male. When he returned to the lounge, however, Cory noticed immediately and said how nice it looked. Some of the boys in his classes also wondered, but they were too embarrassed to say anything. On the next day Judd purchased a pair of tweezers for himself to use in removing any stray brow hairs that would grow.

A half-week later Angela came into Judd’s dorm room with a pink ribbon. She pulled Judd’s hair into a ponytail, tied the ribbon around it, and combed his bangs forward. With this change in his appearance she began thinking about Judd as Judy, a girl. With her maroon slacks, maroon pantyhose, and cordovan penny loafers, her spaghetti-strapped camisole making a slight impression in her blouse, and her hair done up, it was hard to know that she was not a girl. Angela led her to her car and drove her to the mall, where Judd followed her to an earring salon. Angela told Judd that it was time for him to experience earrings and thus pierced ears. She helped him choose some small gold studs that would not stand out, whereupon the attendant said she would pierce Judd’s ears. Judd was very careful to choose a nicely centered spot on each lobe. After a quick pain in each ear from the piercing gun, Judd was now sporting the gold studs. He was instructed to wash the area each day with alcohol but not to remove the studs for three weeks. Did the piercing attendant know he was male? He could not tell, and it really did not matter, he convinced himself.

Upon his return to his room at the DKU house, Judd examined himself in the mirror. He saw a rather pretty girl with lovely brown hair pulled back into a beribboned ponytail, gold earrings, and a gold necklace. But his waist looked thicker than it ought. I’ll have to ask Angela about that soon, he thought.

Seeing Angela after a couple of days, he brought up his idea that his waist looked rather thick. Angela responded that she and Rob had just prepared to correct that problem, feeling that his waist would look prettier if he wore a pink waist nipper that they gave him. "Then you could wear these slacks cut with a narrower waist than the ones you have," they said, giving him two new pairs of slacks, in a rich tan and a dark green. "In any case, these are warmer and better for the winter." Now when Judd passed a mirror he saw quite a girlish figure, and he smiled. On the street, as he came out of a shop buying opaque pantyhose and fringed loafers to match his new slacks, a student visiting from Auburn called him "Miss" when asking for directions.

Still more experiences were forthcoming. At their next visit, twelve weeks from the rush party, Angela said to Judd, "One feeling that all women know, you have not experienced: the tightness of wearing a brassiere. Of course, you have a flattish chest, but so do girls when they first put on a training bra. I have 6 training bras for you here, 3 in lace and three in satin and all six in flesh tones. Under your heavy winter blouses they will remain mostly unseen, but you will feel them the way a woman does. Wear a bra under your blouse and camisole whenever you are dressed." What a rush Judd felt, to partake in this ultimately feminine experience. Of course, he did not need the bra for its function of supporting his now growing but still small breasts, but his darkening aureolae and the beauty of the bras he was wearing were symbols of femininity that made him thankful to be a DKU/RG pledge.

On the following Saturday, Angela drove Judd back to the earring store at the mall and helped him select some tiny hoop earrings, small for a woman but of the size worn by some women and a few daring men. The piercing in Judd’s ears was largely healed, and the gold hoops could replace the studs. How feminine it made his head look in the mirror, next to his shiny hair pulled back into a ponytail. Exiting the mall, a man held the door open for Judd and Angela, and Judd was appreciative of the man and for the womanly experience.

On the next Wednesday, Judd began to use a women’s brown, leather shoulder bag in place of the masculine bag he had been using. It was not too different, but the leather was smoother and shinier. He also moved his pictures, credit cards, and money into a tan women’s wallet which Rob and Angela had also brought. He put his coins in the coin purse section of the wallet, with a gold clasp, and he thought that using such a clasp was something that he would need to get used to and would be surprising for a man to use. But, of course, many people in stores thought he was a girl anyhow, so this would be consistent.

When Rob and Angela presented him with button blouses with darts because they were so feminine but also to make room for his growing breasts and bra, Judd began to realize that few outsiders would think of him as male. And the students at his first final exam on the next Thursday wondered aloud why their classmate looked so feminine, especially when they spied the simple gold ring on his fourth finger, right hand that Cory had given Judy as an expression of friendship. Angela invited Judy to come home with her for Christmas vacation, and they thought that this would be a good time for her to spend a period fully as Judy.

On the next weekend, Angela and Judy went to a clothes store in the mall, and Judy experienced for the first time a women’s dressing area while trying on slacks with a narrowing leg. She also tried on a pair of low-heeled black laced booties that she would wear when she left to go home with Angela

for Christmas. The saleswoman pleased Judy when she said how delicate these shoes made her feet appear.

Just before leaving the Rho Gamma house to drive to Angela’s home, Angela and Judd were excited at what fun it would be for him to experience this vacation as a girl. To this end, she filed his longish fingernails into almond shapes and painted on clear nail polish. They combed his hair in front into bangs and covered the elastic holding his ponytail with a fringed pink ribbon. During the five-hour drive to Angela’s home town, they stopped for lunch at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Judd needed to go to the toilet. As he walked to the rest rooms, he realized that his clothes were not consistent with using the men’s room; other men would not understand. So with Angela at his side, he entered a public ladies room for the first time. Except for the bigger mirror, a machine dispensing feminine pads, and the lack of urinals, he did not see much difference. But there certainly was a difference in sitting on the toilet, and pulling down his pants, his pantyhose, and his panties and retrieving his tucked penis. But of course he was already used to this, from many weeks using his own toilet.

Upon arrival home Angela introduced Judd to her parents as her friend Judy. They arranged that Judy would sleep in a bedroom that shared a bathroom with Angela’s. Judy was shown where the bubblebath oil was kept next to the bathtub. Angela told Judy that she was going to begin all her experiences for the next two weeks right away so that she could appear more like a woman to Angela’s parents. Angela gave Judy a second gold ring, this one with an implanted blue stone, for the opposite hand from the one on which she was wearing the simple friendship ring. She gave Judy a compact of powder and directed that she lightly powder her face a few times each day. Also there was a bottle of femininely scented toilet water that she should dab each morning and evening on her inner arms and on each side of her neck. How heavenly that smelled to Judy, and how good it made her feel when Angela’s parents said how pleasant her perfume was.

Finally, Angela gave Judy a pair of yellow, nylon babydoll pajamas to wear to bed. Now there was no time of day that Judy wore a stitch of male clothing. Judy was surprised that that felt rather natural now, even though it would have seemed unthinkable a few months before. It was a measure of how well he had learned about female ways. Well enough that when Angela introduced Judy to her high school friend Marcia, she did not suspect that Judy was a Judd experiencing femininity to combat sexual stereotyping.

Marcia suggested that Angela and Judy meet her at the ice skating rink for some recreational skating the next evening. On their way home, Angela said that they should buy a pair of women’s jeans for Judy, as that would be in style for skating. The pair they bought not only had the narrower waist that now fit Judy’s nipped waist well but also bow shapes sewn into the back pockets that covered her smoothly rounded rear and bows attached at the top of zippers that closed the legs to firmly surround Judy’s ankle. For the occasion they also bought white socks with narrow pale blue stripes to wear under her skates. When they came to the rink the next evening, both Angela and Judy rented white women’s figure skates. The heels felt high to Judy, and the toe pick caught on the ice a few times, making her fall, but she enjoyed gracefully gliding over the ice in her lovely clothes. And what excitement she felt when a couples skate was announced and a 6-foot handsome young man named Art asked Judy to skate with him.

Even nicer was that this young man suggested that Angela, Marcia, the male friends they had met at the rink, and he and Judy go out for some ice cream after the skating. What pleasant conversation the six of them had at Swensen’s. Judy was aware that she needed more experience in conversation that girls grow up with. She blushed at feeling Art touching her hand. After they parted and Judy and Angela were driving back to Angela’s house, they excitedly shared the experiences they had had with the young men they had attracted.

The next day was quite cold, and Judy was chilly as they arose. Angela offered to Judy that in place of her blouse she wear Angela’s medium red pullover sweater with a jewel neck and a decoration knitted in shaped like three large, overlapping hearts. The sweater felt warm and cozy, and Judy noticed how the tight fitting sweater emphasized her small bra-covered breasts. Angela and Judy spent the afternoon trimming the tree. The next day they spent shopping for Christmas presents and trying on clothes in the ladies shops in the local mall. On Christmas day Judy was excited by the new dainty silver chain bracelet and the many pairs of earrings that were given to her as gifts by Angela and her parents.

When it was time to return to the University from vacation, Angela and Judd/Judy agreed that because he was now fully in feminine garb, he should move to the Rho Gamma sorority house for the second semester. There he would more easily learn the conversational and other arts that women develop. He would take the name of Judy full time. Some of the sisters thought he still looked a bit butch, but they believed in the experiment and knew things would improve. They said that they would try hard to remember to refer to Judy with feminine pronouns. As a welcoming gesture, they presented her with a dainty woman’s gold watch.

They agreed that Judy would use only the bathroom adjoining his own room. For her welcoming gift, Angela gave Judy a lovely white nylon robe. She also gave her a tube of light pink lipstick, which she was told always to wear when out or receiving guests. Angela showed Judy how to use the tip of the lipstick to make the shiny color come just to the edge of her lips, and how to use the body of lipstick to fully color the part of her lips towards the inside. As Judy tried this for the first time, she was struck with the pleasant scent that stayed with her and how soft and smooth her lips felt to her tongue.

The next day Angela took Judy to the Registrar’s office, where friend of Angela’s worked. She sat Judy in front of a camera and made her a new ID with her new name and a picture showing the pretty girl that she now appeared to be. She also changed her computer registration for the courses in the semester that would start at the beginning of the next week so that it showed Judy’s new name in place of her old. Judy promised the registrar’s assistant that she would use unisex bathrooms when she was out and about on campus.

Judy was eager to wear more feminine things, but Angela explained that she could savor the experiences best by keeping to their schedule of two new experiences per week. That week the experiences were to begin using a lightly applied dark brown eyebrow pencil to emphasize her prettily shaped brows and to begin wearing a ponytail holder that was decorated with pretty blue balls on elastic with gold and black threads.

The following week, as she left for class, a light brushing of mascara lengthened Judy’s lashes daily, making her eyes look bigger and her lashes look lush. The stiffening of her lash hairs took some getting used to, Judy thought. She also began to wear larger hoop earrings than previously only women wore earrings of that size, and they set off Judy’s nicely lengthening hair so prettily. The fellow students in Judy’s second semester classes treated her like the coed she appeared to be, none of them having known Judd before. "How nice it was to be treated with such deference and delicacy instead of the curtness with which he had been treated when dressed as a man," Judy thought.

By late January Judy was wearing some more jewelry: a pretty gold cuff bracelet etched with flowers and a dainty ankle bracelet over her pantyhose. She also found that her breasts had outgrown her training bras. Judy walked to the downtown lingerie shop and asked for a measurement. With the help of the saleslady she found that her fleshy breasts would fill a slightly padded A-cup. She was excited by the large collection of lovely bras that hung on the display racks, racks that she had never had a chance to examine carefully before. She slowly leafed through these gracefully styled feminine underwear, and she chose two white bras, with satin over the bottom of the cup and lace at the top of the cup, extending past the moderately low top to decorate the flesh she now had at the top of her breasts. She chose a push-up wonder bra in peach, beautifully covered in lace. Very exhilarating was a matching black satin set, richly edged with lace, made up of an underwire low-cut bra, hip-hugger panty, camisole, and half slip. These were the first lingerie that she had bought with her own money and chosen herself. All the others had been purchased by Angela and paid for from the DKU/RG joint budget for this project. This was certainly an experience that would make her appreciate what feeling like a female was like.

Cory was now living at DKU, fully dressed in male clothing. One evening Judy went to study with her close friend at their fraternity. She decided to surprise Cory by wearing, in place of the opaque black hose that she had been wearing for months, the tan pantyhose that Angela had just given her a 12-pack of. If the jewelry that she was now fond of choosing among did not announce her feminine look, obvious nylon stockings on her feet as they peeked out from her womanly cut trousers would. Cory found the change suited Judy well. When Judy had to use the toilet at the fraternity during her visit, she felt that looking as she did, she should use the fraternity’s one ladies’ room, even though her brothers knew of her experiment. After using the toilet, she freshened her lipstick.

After studying, Cory walked Judy back to the Rho Gamma house and, taking the lead as befitted Cory’s male role, asked Judy whether she would enjoy attending the traveling cast performance of Cats that was being given on the weekend after next. Judy found that a wonderful idea. She really enjoyed Cory’s company, and they found that they liked many of the same things.

Thinking about her date with Cory to attend the performance of Cats, Judy felt that her hair should look better for that event and went to Angela’s room to ask for advice. Judy’s hair now fell to the level of her shoulders, and Angela explained that it would look better if it were given more body. She had made an appointment for Judy at the beauty salon for the coming Saturday. There Judy paged through a book showing hairstyles, but she already knew what she wanted. She chose a pageboy style with her bangs also curled under. She felt so pampered as the hair stylist washed and trimmed her hair, cutting it into layers for the first time in Judy’s life. Then the stylist set rollers in it. Having her hair pulled tight all around was quite a peculiar feeling, after having had it just lie there for nineteen years. The perming solution that was then applied attacked Judy’s nostrils, but the result, when it was combed out after a time under the drier reading Cosmopolitan, was so gorgeous. Judy wondered at the range of experiences that she was engaging in that few men could appreciate.

After her hair appointment, Judy stopped at the shoe store and purchased black skimmer flats that barely exposed the slits between her toes. Till now the only women’s shoes that she had worn were the American Girl loafers, the black booties, and the white ice skates, and she felt that for her date with Cory her feet needed to look more feminine. Also, she stopped in the ladies clothing store and chose a pair of black velvet pants with a silver belt that she thought would be appropriately dressy for the theater. After much shopping, trying on many blouses, she chose a satin, long-sleeved silver-grey blouse with a cowl collar and ¾ sleeves to match her lovely new pants. How nice the shiny material made her breasts appear.

As she emerged from her shower before her date, having closely Naired her body and shaved her legs and underarms, she also shaved the slight fuzz on her face. Oiling her smooth body still felt so sensuous, and her sensitive nipples became taut. She slid her lacy black panties up her smooth legs, tucking her male appendage, and attached the matching lacy black underwire bra over her breasts. She hooked her pink waist nipper into place, using the farthest eyes to make her waist as narrow as possible, and then she sat on her bed to bunch up and slide on her tan pantyhose, first over her pink toes and then up her slinky legs. On went her lovely velvet pants, reaching higher than any male pants and curvily emphasizing her narrowed waist. She slid her nicely slippery nylon-encased feet into her pretty new skimmers and then sat down at her mirror, still with only a bra on above the waist.

She pulled out her eyebrow pencil from her purse and emphasized the arch of her eyebrow. Also, she used the pencil to underline her eyelids, prettily highlighting her eyes. She brushed mascara, a bit more heavily for the evening, onto her lashes. Then for the first time she opened the case of four colors of eye shadow that Angela had just given her. She remembered Angela’s instructions to place the whitish shadow above each lid on the outside and a slightly yellowish tint on the inner region above each lid, and she then used her applicator to blend the boundary. Getting out another applicator, she placed two shades of blue shadow on her eyelids, blending them as well. How desirable these colors made her face!

She then opened her compact to powder her face, removing any shine left over from her shower. She pulled her long sleeved satin blouse over her still tousled head, opened her pants waist, and neatly tucked down the blouse, pulling it smooth and taut all around her body. Her silver belt so nicely matched the satin grey blouse, a matter that would not even have occurred to her before she began her experiment. Pulling out her hairbrush, she brushed her pageboy-styled hair into shape and then placed her shiny, pink lipstick on her nicely shaped lips. A dab of toilet water on each side of her neck and on her wrists, and she was ready to put on her jewelry.

She slid her pants leg up slightly and attached her ankle chain, which would just peek out below the velvet seam of her pants. She got out her prettiest wide silver hoop earrings, given to her at Christmas by Angela’s parents, expertly placed the pins through her pierced ears, and secured them. She was concerned that her gold watch would not match her outfit, but not having a silver one, she slid her watch on her scented left wrist. Over her right wrist she slid a single silver bangle bracelet that she had recently bought, still finding interesting the experience of a bracelet bouncing on her hairless lower arm. Finally, she took the two most recent gifts of Angela, a cardigan sweater and a purse. She lightly arranged the white sweater over her shoulders and picked up the white shoulder purse into which she had put her feminine wallet and keys. She stowed her makeup in the purse as well, for a touchup later in the evening. When she walked down the stairs to the lounge to meet Cory, her sorority sisters oohed and aahed at her beauty.

Cory was entranced. While, to experience the simplicity of male dress, he had a short haircut and clothes that hid his curves, Judy had clothes that increased hers, looking absolutely gorgeous after a lot of effort. As they walked to the theater, passersby saw an androgynous young man and his pretty date, not realizing that it was Corinda who seemed to be the young man and Judd who appeared to be the beautiful young woman.

Cory and Judy could not have enjoyed the performance more, and after the show they sat in the coffee shop remembering the best songs and costumes in the play. They lingered on in vigorous conversation, each appreciating both the mind, the artistic sensibility, and the physical beauty of the other. Little surprise then that when they had to say good-bye at the Rho Gamma house, a tender kiss, followed by a longer one, provided the substance of their leave-taking.

As Judy reminded herself of that wonderful date again and again over the next few days, she marveled at the possibilities that she and Cory were being given to have the glorious experience of dates with the opposite sex while appreciating the date from the point of view of the other gender. Cory and she became inseparable. They studied together almost every evening, either at their fraternity or at their sorority. They both were very good students, and working together enhanced their educational experiences in coursework as well as otherwise. Cory was learning to take an forward role in discussion, not waiting till others had said their piece, and Judy was learning to be sensitive to the body language of the speakers and not just their words. As they parted each night, a long kiss became a treasured part of their leave-taking.

Angela pointed out that slacks were sometimes confining during study dates, and that as long as Judy was going to study in her sorority house, she might wear plaid shorts like many of her sisters. They agreed to go out to buy a few pairs, with a narrow waist, broad womanly hips, and wide legs that came to just above Judy’s knees. Of course, she would not wear stockings with these shorts but just have her bare feet in her ballet shoes. Now for the first time her hairless, shiny legs were exposed to the air. She and her sisters noted that her vitamins had given her already graceful legs a nice rounded shape, and she fit in beautifully among her similarly clad sisters.

On the next weekend, Cory and Judy decided to go to a nice restaurant for a dinner together. A few days before Cory was studying with Judy at the sorority when Judy said that she felt that she was not experiencing the female feelings enough because most of her sisters had much greater curves above the waist than she and therefore attracted more attention from the male students. On the next day Cory surprised her dear friend by presenting her with a beautiful pink satin 36B bra and a set of pads to fill her breasts out to fit the B cup. On the next day Judy and Cory shopped together for a back-buttoning red silk blouse for Judy. It was ruffled just over the breast line. It took some practice to button her blouse in the back, but it was this outfit that Judy wore to the restaurant that weekend. She felt more feminine than before with her new curves, and she began to see some male heads turn as she walked past.

On Sunday after church, Rob walked his steady, Melanie, to the Rho Gamma house; she was one of Judy’s sisters. Melanie said that she had heard Judy singing in the shower and that her voice, though formerly classified as tenor, sounded like a rich alto. She suggested that Judy try out for the sorority’s a capella double quartet. Judy did just that two days later and was welcomed as a member. Rob and Melanie presented Judy with a delicate gold chain with a long black and gold pendant to celebrate Judy’s admission to the Femtones and said that they hoped there would be an occasion soon that Judy could wear this pendant to decorate herself.

Judy began rehearsing with the Femtones. She worked hard to fit her deepish voice for a woman into the somewhat delicate sound of the group and to make her movements as graceful as the other singers. It was agreed that she would not perform with the group until all felt that she was one with the group. Though it was expected that this might take a month or more, in expectation of the day she purchased for herself the costume the Femtones performed in: a green miniskirt, a pink pleated-front nylon blouse, a matching green bolero jacket, and mint-green stockings. Judy had not yet worn a skirt, and even though she would wear it for now only in her room, the miniskirt flapping about her thighs made her feel very feminine.

Cory and Judy decided to go roller skating at the local rink for their date on the next Saturday. Judy discussed with Angela what she should wear on the date, and Angela pointed out that on a winter’s evening roller skating, a stylish teenage girl would wear black leggings. So they shopped in an athletic togs shop for shiny nylon black full-leg leggings. In the dressing room trying the leggings on, Judy pulled off her panty hose and tugged the elastic leggings up her. She saw that the tight garment would show both her panty line and her male organs, so she instructed Angela to buy a thong panty in the lingerie store next door and bring it back to the dressing room. Pulling off the leggings and the lacy full panties she was wearing, she pulled on the thongs, tucking her penis tightly between her legs. She pulled up the leggings placing much elastic pressure on her male bottom, and her testicles were pushed into her pelvic cavity. Still the remaining penal bulk made her maleness somewhat apparent. Judy thought about the last time that he, as Judd, had gone roller skating, and he had a bright idea: many of the most attractive girls wore a short skating skirt that had much in common with her Femtones skirt. Off they walked to the rack of short skirts for athletic activity. Judy selected a pink, pleated number with a waist in her size. Trying it on in the dressing room, she found it loose about her nipped waist and sent Angela off to find the next smaller size. This fit with a nice tightness and covered what little showed between her legs.

When Cory and Judy arrived at the roller rink that Saturday, Cory had on a bulky dark green sweater and jeans and crew socks, and he rented black skates to complete the macho look that was presented by the false mustache that he had begun to wear in the previous week. Judy wore a lightweight beige V-neck sweater showing her pretty neck and upper chest. In the V hung the lovely pendant necklace that Rob had bought her, and her sweater showed off the considerable curves engendered by her wonder bra. Diamond chip studs shone in her ears. She wore a darker shade of pink lipstick than she wore during the day, and her eyes were prettily made up. As they skated around the rink, Judy felt sexy in a way that she had never felt wearing masculine clothes. Her legs shone in the bright lights, and her skirt swayed as she gracefully rolled around the rink. Cory and Judy skated every couples skate with each other and felt stirrings in their inner being from being so happy together.

On the following Tuesday night Angela informed Judy that it was time that she learned to negotiate higher heels, especially since she would need to wear heels when she sang with the Femtones. Low-heeled pumps would be a good start, and it was for these that the two ladies shopped on the next day. They chose a red pair with rather wide heels, a brown pair with an long thin heel, and a black patent leather pair with a narrow but low heel. Walking in the heels in the shoe store was a challenge, and even after a few hours in the red heels while studying in her room, Judy’s toes hurt at the end of that day. On Thursday Judy wore those red heels to class for the first time. Judy found it different than walking in her flats, and at the end of the day she found her calf muscles somewhat tired. After a few days, her legs had accommodated, and on her next date with Cory the pretty patent leather pumps exposing her stockinged feet made her look most feminine.

It was late-March, and as spring neared there were a few warm days. The Rho Gamma girls began lying on their deck in the sun. Angela gave Judy a gaff to hide his smallish male genitals and a black one-piece bathing suit that had a high front but was partially see-through beginning just above his now almost B-cup breasts. Judy worried that the shoulder straps would mar her tan by white stripes. At the same time, she realized that the tan lines from the middle of her back and from the tops of her breasts up would make a very feminine impression. The support in the cups of the bathing suit and the elasticized waist with a wide satin sash made Judy’s figure quite curvy as she lay with the other girls on the deck chairs and studied. A boy from another fraternity spied Judy on the deck and admired from afar.

While lying in the sun, Judy’s sorority sister Melanie asked Judy whether her father would be coming to Athens for the sorority’s father-daughter weekend in mid-April. Thinking about this question caused Judy to feel that on the one hand the father-daughter weekend was an experience that she would like to have and to share with her Dad, and on the other hand she felt guilty to have kept from him what she was doing. Therefore, the next night she began to compose the following letter.

Dear Dad,

I have been learning so much here at the University, and I want to share my experiences with you. My courses, in math, poli sci, French, and art history are full of challenge, and I am learning a lot, especially during my study with my close friend Cory. But more than in my courses, I am learning in a way that will let me accept the grace and concern for the feelings of others that is common among women as well as the ability to plan and take decisive action that is more pervasive among men. This combination of abilities is being developed by a new program that my fraternity and sorority have involved me in.

Yes, sorority as well as fraternity, as the two run the program jointly. They have helped me feel the feminine side that I had not experienced in my first 18 years, when I continuously experienced the masculine only. To help me in this process, I hope you will come to Athens on April 18 to take part in the father-daughter weekend in my sorority. During that weekend I will be your child, but I will act as your female child, able to love you openly and contribute beauty to the world. This is doable because for the past months I have learned to love acting all the time with womanly behavior, made possible by appearing outwardly as a woman. I want you to see the side of me that is Judy.

Please talk to Mom about this — she and I discussed this program when I was home at Christmas. I so much look forward to your continuing support for my education by sharing this weekend with me. I think that we will be able to return to the openly loving relationship that we had when I was little. I so much want to be able to hold your hand and kiss you whenever I want to express my love for you.

I love you, daddy. Please understand.

Judy/Judd

With this difficult letter written, Judy felt that she needed to take a new step toward feeling feminine. Wandering into Melanie’s room, she asked if she could use her bright red nail polish. She used her own polish remover to remove the clear polish on her nails, filed them, and applied the pretty feminine color. On the next day as she took notes in class, she found it difficult to concentrate because her hand taking the notes was so pretty and distracting, with its graceful colored nails, its pretty gold rings, and its shiny bracelets. After class she felt so good that it made it easier for her to drop her letter home into the mail slot at the Student Union.

Angela appeared Saturday morning and announced that it was time for Judy to begin to wear a skirt regularly, to feel the freedom that the garment imparted, the graceful movements it allowed, and the excitement that its swirling about your slip and nylons engendered. She gave Judy a flowered full skirt that came just to her knees and a tan straight skirt with a high waist and an embroidered hem that came to just above her knees. She gave her a white half slip finished richly with lace at the bottom; Judy already had her black lingerie set with a half slip. Finally, Angela gave Judy a full slip with a bodice woven in the form of flowers and a scalloped hem. Judy rushed to take off her blouse and slacks and put on her beautiful full slip, her scoop-neck beige sweater, and her new tan straight skirt. She picked out her brown pumps and looked at herself in the mirror. Oh my!

She could not take off these beautiful clothes all day. The feeling of a smooth nylon slip tickling her nylon covered legs and combining their silken feel with her nylon panties was very arousing. When Cory came to pick Judy up for the double date that they had planned to share with Melanie and Rob, Cory was so taken with how lovely Judy looked. They went together to a play and sat in the front row of the theater, which had a projected stage. Judy’s surprisingly lovely legs, rounded from the hormones and covered with silky stockings, were on display for everyone to see, and she needed to be sure to keep her legs crossed, as her sorority sisters had been teaching her for months. Even Rob, who had for so long been seeing Judd’s development into Judy, found her very sexy.

On Sunday Cory and Judy went to church together. Cory wore a light blue sport jacket, chino trousers, a white shirt and a blue tie with diagonal red stripes. Comfortable brown lace-up shoes completed his outfit. Judy wore her new flowered skirt, a white lace blouse that she loved, pantyhose, and her red pumps. Her gold and black pendant necklace, a gold bracelet, and white button earrings emphasized her fresh beauty. As they left, the minister asked the couple whether they wished to become members of the church and handed them a membership form. Judy and Cory wondered if the invitation would hold from this conservative religious leader if he realized that the apparent male was a female and the apparently sexy young female was a male.

Judy realized that she was not getting enough exercise, and one of her sisters told her that jogging on the University’s cross-country track would keep her fit. But she had nothing to wear for this activity. On the next day she returned to the athletic shop and examined running outfits. She chose a powder blue nylon jumpsuit with dark blue accents. Feeling very stylish, she jogged over to the track that started near the gym. As she jogged, she felt her breasts flopping and realized she needed to buy an athletic bra that would provide more support if she was going to continue this exercise. So she dropped by the store and made the purchase, realizing that she now was finding buying such an object a matter of course, just as a woman would.

Rob’s present on the next Wednesday was a pair of gold dangling earrings, with three gold teardrops hanging from a delicate gold oval to which the pin was welded. When Judy and Cory attended the next performance of the Femtones, Judy not yet being ready to perform, these earrings set off her nicely made up face and shiny feminine hair in its lovely pageboy style. After the performance Cory told Judy how fine it would be if they could spend the summer together. Cory said that her father ran a large office and that if Judy wanted, she might be able to get jobs for the two of them in that office for the summer. A few days later Cory said that she had heard from her father that he needed an assistant for the summer and suggested that if Judy applied for the job, Cory could work in the mail room, so they could be at the same company all week. To do that, however, Judy would need to interview with a representative of her father’s company who was on campus recruiting at the Career Office early the next week.

In her excitement at the possibility of being all summer with her darling, Judy was struck with how much she wanted to spend a night with Cory. To get her courage up for this big step and to show how much she loved Cory, she wanted to buy something in which she would look special when that night occurred. She therefore asked Angela to buy her a peignoir comprised of a satin nightgown and a sheer nylon robe with satin lapels and a thin satin tie at the waist. She had admired this nightwear at the ladies shop at the mall. Upon receiving this lovely gift, Judy placed it, her makeup kit, and a fresh pair of panties and a bra in a small overnight bag that she borrowed from Melanie and brought it with her when she went to DKU to study with Cory. She placed the bag in the closet in the front hall before going to Cory’s room. That night studying with Cory in his room at the fraternity, Judy and Cory fell into an embrace, and then Judy told Cory how much she wanted to spend the night. Downstairs she went and retrieved her overnight bag. She came back to Cory’s room, entered the adjoining bathroom, and locked the lock. Excited at the prospect of the night to come, she took off her shoes and stockings, her skirt and blouse, her slip, her bra, and her panties, and she slid the beautiful new nightgown over her head. Putting her arms through the sleeves of the robe, she pushed the button at the robe’s bodice through the small elastic loop on the other side. Her small breasts produced a pretty curve through the entrancing white nylon, and her deep pink toenails and red fingernails shone in the light. She touched up her lipstick and walked back into the bedroom, trying to sway sexily. Cory was extremely attracted to Judy as she came through the door, and they shared a deep, lasting kiss.

As they caressed, Cory and Judy shared leading the sexual experience. Judy’s sexual response was heightened by her own body’s sensitivity and the feel of Cory’s soft lips against her own perfumed, pomaded lips. Simultaneously licking Cory’s breasts while having her own breasts erotically touched produced a feeling that she could take only as love.

To prepare for her job interview later in the week, Judy went with Angela to the ladies store to find a business suit. It was ironic, Judy thought, that a year ago a heavy, drab man’s suit would be the objective of such a shopping trip whereas in fact a suit in a feminine color made of a pleated skirt and a matching collarless top coming a few inches over her waistband and decorated with big buttons was what they were looking for. They chose a mauve suit in linen with white buttons and bought a matching set of wine colored pumps with business length heels. Looking at her feminine reflection in the mirror, Judy marveled at how one could look competent and pretty at the same time, and she valued her ability to both be in control of situations and concern herself with grace and feelings.

Judy kept her new suit and heels on and walked to the copy shop opposite the campus because they took ID photos and she would need such a photo for her employment application. After Judy freshened her makeup, they sat her on a stool, asked her to smile prettily, and snapped a few shots with their digital camera. Looking at the pretty woman in the draft pictures on the screen really made Judy feel good. She chose the one with the most charming smile to be printed, but she was extremely pleased when they gave her a diskette with all of the photos on it.

Cory told Judy that her father had decided that his secretarial assistant would have to behave fully as a woman on the job so he had not told the interviewer, a Mr. Stafford, of Judy’s real sex. It was up to Judy not only to impress Mr. Stafford of her competence but also not to raise any suspicion that he was not the freshman female that he was dressed as. This would be a test of Judy’s feelings about herself. And indeed Mr. Stafford’s interview report described a knowledgeable, confident, but lusciously pretty young woman who would certainly be an addition to their company for the summer. The picture that he brought back to Shreveport in Judy’s application materials was examined with great interest by Mr. Allen, Cory’s father, and he was extremely impressed with what an attractive young woman his daughter’s boyfriend appeared to be.

In honor of this achievement and in excitement that they would be spending the summer together, Cory bought Judy a beautiful gold ring surmounted by a lovely pearl. As she slipped it on Judy’s finger to replace the simple ring that was previously there, Judy’s feelings of happiness coincided with Cory’s feelings at the combination of loveliness and warmth that Judy embodied. For here is how a typical school day began for Judy at this point. She awoke at Rho Gamma in her yellow nylon babydoll pajamas, luxuriant in the feel of these delicate, smooth garments. After removing these nightclothes, far different from the ones he had worn the year before, she stepped into the shower, lathered her full hair with a sweet smelling shampoo & conditioner combination, and rinsed it with care. After soaping her underarms and legs, she shaved them closely and then washed her whole body, marveling at the curves on her chest and the softness of her skin. After drying herself with a thick red towel, she smoothed body lotion all the way up her legs and on her underarms and sprayed a feminine-scented deodorant on her smooth underarms. In her now experienced way, she then hooked the back of her bra under her breasts, rotated the silky garment, smoothed the cups over her breasts, and placed her arms through the elastic straps. She donned a pair of nylon panties with pretty scalloping at the leg openings and tucked her penis. She then plugged in her hair drier and brushed her hair into its attractive pageboy style, which flipped up in the bangs and at her shoulder. She examined her red polished fingernails and if she saw a small chip on one nail, removed the polish, filed the nail a bit, and repolished it to perfection, glad that she had gotten up at 7, because this repair required extra time.

Today she had decided to wear a pretty cotton shortsleeved sweater over a straight chartreuse skirt. She had put on her waist nipper, then pulled on a pair of suntan panty hose, and slid a half slip up over her legs, still excited by the feel of the nylon slip over her nylon sensitized legs. After she had buttoned her skirt, she’d adjusted the sweater over the waistband of the skirt. Examining her collection of shoes for a pair that would match and make her feel pretty, she had slipped her feet into low heeled light green pumps with a wide bow over each toe. She had then applied daytime makeup and had gone off to breakfast.

In midweek, Angela presented Judy with her next experience, mid-heel strappy white sandals. Judy was entranced when she tried these on, after putting on sandalfoot panty hose. They not only made her feet look delicate, but also they exposed her beautifully painted iridescent deep pink toenails for all to see for the first time. Angela explained that it would also be possible to wear these sandals without stockings. The next day Judy shaved her legs with special care, chose a full skirt of which she was especially fond, of a multicolored patchwork, and selected a jewel neck knit rayon pullover sleeveless blouse. After donning these clothes over her lacy bra, panties, and half slip, she slipped her bare feet into her new sandals. The boy sitting next to her in their poli sci class, even though he was familiar with Judy’s looks, was struck with how pretty she looked that day. Judy blushed when he complimented her.

It was the last weekend in April, Father-daughter day. On Friday, Judy decided that she wanted to look especially pretty for her father’s visit, so she made a special trip to the department store and spent hours picking out her first dress. After trying tens of dresses on in the ladies dressing area, with which she was becoming so familiar, she settled on a print dress with medium-sized blue flowers on a white background. Its skirt was rather full and came three inches below her knees. The top was high and sleeveless, and it buttoned in back with petite blue buttons. She also purchased royal blue pumps with one-inch heels to match the dress.

Her father was due at about 11 o’clock. Judy felt full of suspense as she dressed in preparation for his arrival. She was particularly careful with her makeup, making sure that her eyeshadow and eyebrows were very conservative and that the shade of her pink lipstick was neither too dark nor too light. She was sitting demurely on the deck of the sorority house when she saw her father’s car come to a stop in the sorority’s parking lot. He stepped out of the car and walked towards the deck. He did not recognize any of the three young ladies sitting there as his child! When he asked Melinda where he could find Judy Frost, she smiled and pointed to the pretty girl sitting right next to her. Judy jumped up and hugged her Dad, kissing him full on the lips. When she talked, he recognized the voice of Judd, but even then he found it quieter and more refined than he had ever heard. "Quite an improvement," he thought. "While it is going to take some getting used to that my child has breasts, rounded cheeks, butt, and legs, and has such a loving demeanor, I think this really will improve our relationship."

Judy and her Dad sat on the deck, while Judy told at length of her combined feminine and masculine experiences of the last months. During the next 45 minutes many more fathers arrived, and the pairs of fathers and daughters were called in for luncheon. Arriving at the table, Judy’s Dad held her seat out for his daughter, a new experience for both of them. He was impressed how Judy smoothed her skirt under her as she sat down, and he was astounded at how very pretty Judd looked.

After lunch Judy walked her dad to the DKU house to introduce Cory. They had decided that Cory would wear a tight, simple, grey athletic bra to hold her breasts close to her chest, for the sake of modesty, but otherwise would wear her now normal clothes of a man’s denim shirt, trousers, socks and man’s loafers. After the introduction, Judy’s Dad asked Cory how she felt wearing man’s clothes and experiencing masculine experiences. He heard with interest the advantages Cory found in not having to be so fussy with clothes, therefore having extra time, and in being able to take immediate decisions without feeling the need to act meek. He was particularly pleased at how much Cory apparently cared for Judy. "While this is not the relationship I had envisioned for Judd," he thought, "it certainly seems to be working."

Later in the afternoon there were father-daughter races, including a three-legged race. Judy had her hair tied in a ponytail with her pink ribbon, and she wore her jumpsuit over her bra and panties. Her father was surprised at what a combination of muscular tone and softness of skin his child had, as they held onto each other in the race. After the races they both cleaned themselves off in their respective showers, the fathers at DKU and the daughters at Rho Gamma. After her shower Judy laid out for herself the Femtones outfit, for she was going to perform as a Femtone for the first time that night.

She pulled on her gaff, because she knew she would be wearing a miniskirt in public for the first time and certainly did not want an unsightly bulge. Over the gaff she drew on her favorite white satin panties with pink bows at each side and a matching bra with white satin lace-decorated cups and a pink bow in the middle. Over her pink waist nipper she buttoned the pink pleated-front nylon blouse which was part of the Femtones outfit. Her bra showed slightly through the blouse, making a pretty match. She pulled up the mint-green panty hose — she still could not get over how good putting nylons on made her legs feel. Now she stepped into the green miniskirt with the back in front, pulling up the zipper to tightly fit over her hips, which were considerably softer and wider than months before. She buttoned the dark green button at the waist and carefully rotated the skirt by 180 degrees. She then straightened the blouse and hiked up the skirt from the bottom to pull down the hems of the blouse, making it beautifully smooth and emphasizing her bra-covered breasts. Smoothing her skirt back down, she put her arms into the green bolero jacket, of such a feminine length that it conformed itself around her breasts. Today the Femtones were wearing their informal shoes, flats with a wide, open toe and a deep pink color. As she slipped into these colorful, feminine shoes, her pink-painted toenails shone brightly through her stockings, matching her shoes. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was so happy at what a pretty Femtone she would be and how she would fit with the other feminine beauties.

The Femtones were to perform before dinner, and Judy was nervous that she would not remember the songs and the actions which she had rehearsed for many weeks. She worried even more whether her nerves would hold up as she blushed at her father’s admiring reaction when he saw her come down the stairs to the lounge. But not to worry — he was as proud of the way Judy enhanced the feminine group of singers with her own very graceful actions and her pretty alto voice as he was of her beauty. At dinner he could not stop telling her how wonderful she was.

With her father’s approval during this weekend, Judy began to feel very comfortable with her feminine image. She and Cory found this very advantageous, as she was going to work as a woman during the following summer. Cory was trying to decide how to dress for her summer job in the same company. Her experiences of the year had taught her that she really liked comfort, and she was trying to work out what she found most comfortable. A bra was needed for comfort, but a simple cotton one felt most comfortable. Panties felt more comfortable than men’s briefs, but cotton felt more comfortable than nylon and full panties were certainly more comfortable than hip-huggers or bikinis. A loose cotton man’s shirt and man-tailored trousers cut for the female figure were also most comfortable and practical. Male tassel loafers she found especially comfortable on her feet, over cotton socks. So while she was constrained to fully wear male clothes till the semester ended, she decided that this mixture of male and female clothes was what she would wear for the summer. Judy was happy with whatever Cory chose because her experiences and love for Cory led her to be very accepting of combining male and female things. But for Judy herself, female clothes were what she enjoyed most, both for their feel and their beauty. She figured out that the summer would provide her a time to experience a range of female clothes that she had not yet experienced: business garb and summer sports clothes, among others.

After their discussion about clothes, Cory asked Judy to go to the graduation prom. The fraternities and sororities traditionally found members who would stay after final exams and help set up the prom and who, by the way, made some money for doing so. Cory and Judy decided to do this. A perk was free tickets to the prom. They both started thinking about what they would wear to the prom. Cory decided to go black tie, and Judy began dreaming about the beautiful evening gown that she could wear. "Such dreams are open only to women and the few males who are willing to wear female clothes," Judy thought. "What a liberating experience!"

At the same time, Cory and Judy realized that they would need to learn to take different roles in dancing than they had learned before. They planned that beginning the following Tuesday they would help each other learn the new role and practice together for a half hour each evening after studying for two hours. Cory would need to learn to lead and to have her hand on Judy’s back, whereas Judy would need to follow and to dance in heels, with her hand in an unaccustomed position resting softly on Cory’s shoulder.

The next day both Judy and Cory were excited by receiving letters that, as honor students, invited them to a reception with the Dean. Angela congratulated Judy warmly and pointed out that a conservative, afternoon dress would be needed for this occasion and that the sorority would pay for it out of their initiation fund. Judy was happy to have this new dress, but she wanted it not to be too drab. After looking at dozens of dresses, Judy tried on a pretty sleeveless dress with pale yellow and white stripes, horizontal on the top and vertical on the bottom. A conservative scoop neckline and an A-line skirt ending just at her knees were pretty yet proper, and the top draped gracefully but loosely over her breasts. Angela then brought Judy to the jewelry counter, noting that a pearl necklace that fit just inside her dress’s neckline was de rigeur for this occasion and at the same time would make Judy look very feminine. Finally, they shopped in the shoe section for some yellow patent leather pumps with a one-and-one-half inch widish but graceful heel, matching the dress in both color and style.

While they were at the shop, Judy began to explore possibilities for her prom dress in the formals section. She eyed a blue lowcut tulle gown with spaghetti straps and a yellow chiffon creation with puffed short sleeves, but she was particularly taken with a bronze-colored silk gown with a plunge back and wide shirred straps that were worn off the shoulder. She realized that if she was going to be able to wear any of those gowns she would need for her tan to come lower. She also became sensitized to how much better these gowns would look if her waist were trimmer. Her male waistline required some special effort if one were going to be able to look beautiful in such lovely but revealing attire.

As a result the next day she discussed with Angela what could be done to trim her waist. Angela said that Judy needed to begin serious, daily use of the equipment in the sorority exercise room. For that purpose she presented Judy with a colorful flowered leotard with a high neck and short sleeves and a neon green leotard with a mock turtle neck and long sleeves. She also gave her two pairs of shiny tights, one black and one silver, and a few pairs of bikini panties that were high cut at the legs. Beginning at 4 o’clock each afternoon thereafter Judy took off her blouse, skirt, stockings, waist nipper, and panties and pulled on first a gaff to smooth her figure, and then a pair of her highcut panties. Then she pulled on a pair of shiny tights, and over that she slipped on one of her leotards. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a very feminine outfit and a surprisingly nicely rounded butt and protruding, small breasts, but also some jarring non-femininity of her figure at the waist. After pulling on some cotton socklets and running shoes, down she went to the exercise room and began hard work at the exercises that Angela recommended. These were designed to firm her abs and to reduce her waist at the sides. The first two weeks of these exercises were hard and unrewarding, but then she began to see some improvement in her figure.

As for the tan, Judy purchased for herself a pair of white hot shorts and a strapless bandeau top of bright yellow rising along the sides from a low-cut back to cover her now enlarged nipples and the bottom of her soft breasts. She began to wear this outfit on the deck in place of her bathing suit while studying in the afternoon. After a few days her back started nicely to tan almost down to her waist. Her tan arms made a fine contrast with her sleeveless yellow dress as she prepared for the Dean’s honor reception. As she came to the Dean in the reception line, she felt so lucky to be able to have the recognition of successful study and at the same time to feel so lovely that even the Dean noticed how fresh and pretty this honor student was.

When Judy returned to her sorority house, there was a party starting. Melanie had announced that she and Rob would be married in August at a formal wedding on campus. Melanie asked Judy, as a close friend of both her and Rob, to be a bridesmaid at their wedding, and Judy excitedly accepted, realizing that this would form another uniquely feminine experience.

Rob told Judy that it being spring, she could make her feet more comfortable and yet especially pretty via her next experience. In place of her pumps she was to wear to class each day a pair of white flat-heeled sandals with thong straps that came between her toes and a prettily shaped wide leather strap over the top of her feet. For evenings she was given a pair of matching strappy sandals with a graceful, narrow one-and-one-half inch heel. Having these straps between her toes irritated her toes a little, as she had never had anything there before. But after a couple of days walking in these sandals, her toes toughened, and she just retained the excitement of seeing her beautiful toenails showing with no covering, all day and all evening.

For the following week, Judy was given a pastel coral exercise bra and short pale yellow elasticized leggings that supported her legs, showing through her shorts a smooth front below her waist, and emphasizing the narrowing that the exercises were giving her waist. Now for her waist-trimming exercises she would wear the leotards and tights on the cooler days and the exercise bra and short leggings under shorts on warmer days. Both outfits led her to feel much in common with her sisters who were using the exercise equipment with her, though the gaff that it was necessary for Judy to wear to accomplish this made some of the exercise moves a bit painful. "A small price to pay for sharing the camaraderie of females" Judy thought. While they were all seriously making their figures more attractive, the feminine conversation about their relationships with their boyfriends and the clothes that they planned to wear or buy enhanced Judy’s understanding of the feminine way of life. She participated by sharing her excitement about the prom dress she was planning to buy.

A few days later Judy went to buy that bronze off the shoulder cocktail dress that had so attracted her. She bought a waist nipper a size smaller than she had been wearing till then, and kept it on when she tried on the dress in front of the seamstress in the store, in front of many admiring women who were also shopping there. They decided that it would emphasize the narrowing at her waist and make the fit perfect if the dress were let out just a tad above the waist up to the beginning of the lovely bodice. Almost overcome by how beautiful she would be in this dress, Judy paid a deposit, and she cut off a tiny swatch of the material from the inside hem to take to the shoe store. There she looked at pair after pair of shoes and finally chose some spike heeled satin pumps. These dyable shoes with 3½ inch heels had the narrowest heels she had ever worn. She also chose some ring-shaped rhinestone shoe ornaments that would clip on to the front of the shoes after they were dyed. She left the swatch and the shoes with the instructions that the shoes be dyed to match exactly. When she returned to the sorority house, she described her beautiful prom outfit to Angela, who told Judy that she would buy her a pair of rhinestone dangling pierced earrings, a rhinestone choker necklace, and a rhinestone bracelet to match her rhinestone shoe clips. With this sparkling jewelry shining on her wrist, at her throat, on her ears, and at her toes, Judy would be a knockout.

After discussion with Angela, Judy decided to surprise Cory by having her hair dyed to a very feminine strawberry blonde and put into a new style that was even more lovely than she had had, but which required more daily care. On the morning of the prom, she excitedly walked in a pretty sleeveless knit light green blouse, a narrow beige skirt, and her white flat sandals to the beauty parlor. The beautician raved at how beautiful she looked and how gorgeous she would look in her new do. The new experience of hair coloring was followed by the already experienced cut and perm. The sides of her hair were layered and swept out into a mass of large, full curls, curving around but below her ears at the bottom. This would expose the pretty dangling earrings that she loved so much. The back was given a body wave that caused it to be full and gracefully sway over the top of her back when she walked. While the hair was drying, her beautifully shaped nails were filed and colored with a dramatic red polish. Seeing herself in the mirror, Judy was excited by thinking about the way Cory would react when he saw his gorgeous prom date.

Judy then picked up the beautiful bronze cocktail dress that had been altered to mold to her figure. She almost floated back to the sorority house and hung up the prom dress. However, she had to work in setting up the prom that afternoon. When she arrived at the campus green, where the prom was held, Cory was busy setting up tables. Judy, still in her blouse, skirt, and sandals, was assigned the task of placing maps to the tables on signposts. When Cory looked over, she did not recognize Judy at first at a distance, because of her new hair color and hairdo. But when she did, she excitedly ran over to Judy and kissed her in front of everyone.

After the setup work, Judy returned to the Rho Gamma house and began her preparations for the prom. She re-Naired her body and after the required twenty minutes soaked in a bubble bath, closely shaving her already smooth legs and underarms. She applied her feminine deodorant and patted sweet smelling powder over her body. Feeling very sensuous, she slid up the satin and lace panties that were part of an exciting bra and panty set that she had bought. She donned the strapless longline bra, covered with satin and lace. She slipped small pads into the cups under her breasts to raise them so that the soft flesh at the top of her still smallish breasts protruded from the top of the bra. She placed he waist cincher around her, hooking it in the tightest position, further accentuating the femininity of her shape. For the first time she hooked garters into the loops at the bottom of the cincher, and she broke open a new package of the silkiest stockings. Sliding stockings up her legs for the first time produced stirrings in her tucked penis much more intense than she felt from her now accustomed panty hose. Slipping her feet into her satin heels with the rhinestone triangular ornaments atop, she stood before the mirror and already felt extraordinarily feminine. She slid a lace-covered half slip up her silky legs, and swayed over to her vanity, marveling at the feel of the slip against her sleekly covered legs and of the tightness of the garters.

After smoothing on a layer of foundation, Judy began to apply makeup that was more dramatic in color than she normally wore. At the same time, she carefully followed the advice of her sorority sisters that she not use such heavy makeup that she would look unreal. But the richer color of purple eye shadow and the blusher that she did not normally use, together with a very luscious, shiny lipstick that matched her nails, and her normal mascara and eyebrow pencil made her face look very sexy. She dabbed on her favorite perfume in many places, making her scent as feminine as her face and undergarments.

Judy took her gown down from the closest, still entranced by the rustling sound that it made. She stepped into the dress and sliding her arms through the lovely straps, she pulled up the side zipper. The dress now conformed very closely to the curvaceous figure that her exercises and her foundation garments had given her. Looking down, she saw the tops of her breasts gracefully and enticingly exposed above the top of the gown, with the lace tops of her bra just to be seen below the top of the gown. The hemline swished on her nylon-covered legs, producing the most exquisite of feelings. She hung her rhinestone necklace with its pendant pointing to her cleavage, and she took out her everyday stud earrings and placed the matching rhinestone earrings in their place, emblazoning her ears. Attaching the rhinestone bracelet to bring a similar sparkle to her wrist, she could not wait to view her beautiful self in the full length mirror. The gorgeous female that she saw there made her so excited. "How fortunate she was to experience these feelings, so foreign to most men!" she thought.

Just then, her phone rang, with the message from the front door that Cory had arrived. Judy excitedly walked down the stairs, being careful not to catch her high heels on the carpeted steps. Cory was resplendent in his tuxedo, and he almost swooned at the beauty of his date. Judy’s heart beat at how handsome Cory was. As he presented Judy with a corsage, they both were excited by this new experience, and their Rho Gamma sisters, clothed in their own prom gowns, applauded as they judged the success of their experiment with their male sister as resplendently dressed as they were and with their female sister so handsomely dressed.

As Cory and Judy walked to the prom, they appeared to be a very well matched pair, as striking to look at as the other couples so prettily decked out. Upon arrival at the dance, Cory led Judy onto the dance floor for their first formally garbed dance together. Their dancing practice together showed its results as they gracefully twirled around the floor. At the end of the dance, Cory placed a gentle kiss on Judy’s neck, and as they applauded the band, they looked forward to the many more dances that evening and beyond.

What a dream that prom was! The warm breezes, the beautiful decorations, the love songs played by the big band, the loveliness of their clothes, the smell of Cory’s male cologne and Judy’s perfume, and the warm regards of their fraternity and sorority brothers and sisters generated such love for each other as neither Cory nor Judy had felt till then. After the dance, they walked back to Cory’s room at DKU, on clouds even though Judy’s calves were very tired from so much dancing in high heels. There Cory unzipped Judy’s beautiful gown, and Judy put on her lovely peignoir. A long period of gentle but intense lovemaking increased their love for each other even further. When they final fell deeply asleep next to each other, they both dreamed of experiencing together the years to come.

In the morning Judy and Cory had to work on some not yet completed papers for their courses, but they also began to prepare to leave for the summer. That evening, Angela and Rob had a discussion with Judy about the future. The initiation was now over, but they all thought that the experience of mixing masculine and feminine ways of thinking was very healthy, and if truth be known, Judy loved her feminine appearance. She was so much more popular than Judd had ever been. However, the initiation now having been declared to be over, she had the curiosity to try on her male slacks and shirt. She was surprised to find that the pants were too tight around her butt to wear, while they were loose at the waist. The shirt, besides buttoning on what now seemed like the wrong side, could not be buttoned at all around her chest. It was clear that both in terms of preference and practicality, clothes cut for a female were what she needed. She decided that she would experience the summer with no access whatsoever to male clothes. In response to her indication of these plans for attire for the months away from the University, Angela and Rob arranged for the fraternity and sorority to give Judy a final check of $2000 to cover clothes for the summer. They all agreed that Judy was on her own to buy clothes related to summer work and play, buying most at the beginning of the summer but still averaging one new type of feminine experience per week.

A day before she and Cory were to drive to Shreveport for the summer, they excitedly shared the experience of buying the two of them clothes for their summer work. In the department store they bought a few men’s button down white and yellow shirts and three man-tailored women’s slacks for Cory. For Judy they bought four white blouses and two dark skirts, a dusty rose skirt suit with a bow blouse, two dresses with matching jackets; and a pair of black pumps. The blouses were feminine but businesslike: one was made of rayon with a jewel collar and pearlescent buttons in the back; one was of cotton with an broad eyelet collar and a single button into a loop at the back of the neck; one had a pleated overblouse styled to hide the small buttons in the front; and the last had row of small cream ribbons inlaid in the bodice. One skirt was straight, and the other full. They also purchased a dozen pairs of pantyhose to deal with the daily use of this garment that Judy would make.

When they arrived in Shreveport on a Friday afternoon, Cory took Judy to the apartment house where Cory’s father had arranged for an efficiency apartment for Judy. Judy spent the next day hanging her clothes, marveling that there was not a male piece among them. Having decided to experience the summer as a woman, with no attempt to mix male experiences in with the female, she got directions to the drugstore and increased her provisions of cosmetics, shampoo, and the like. She also shopped for an outfit suitable for that evening’s plans. At six o’clock, Cory arrived in her slacks, man’s shirt, and men’s shoes to take Judy to visit her parents. This was the first time Judy had met Cory’s mother and father, though Cory’s father had seen the picture that had been included in the employment application.

Judy was wearing trousers, also, but of a very different style than Cory’s. Not only were they cut with a very feminine curve, a hip-hugging low waistline with no belt loops, and sharply narrowing legs, but they were of a shiny aqua fabric and zipped at the rear. They had a smooth front, requiring Judy to wear her gaff, and they sported a delicate bow at each side of the waistline. Judy’s blouse was tight and sleeveless and of pale peach nylon, somewhat revealing her lacy bra beneath. Her shoes were her evening white sandals, revealing her painted toes. Cory and Judy walked the four blocks to Cory’s house, both sensitive to Judy’s heels clicking on the sidewalk. Judy thought about the fact that her academic year of successive use of more and more female clothing now made her quite comfortable to be walking in public outside of the university environment in pretty female clothing, with no real concerns that anyone would take her as a male.

Cory’s mother had been warned that Cory’s friend was a male experiencing the summer as a female, but she was astounded at how pretty Judy looked and how there were no indications of Judy’s sex from her appearance. Also, Judy’s highish voice for a male, together with the intonations that she had developed effortlessly from living with women for the school year, could easily be taken as female. In fact, Mrs. Allen had been uncomfortable with Cory’s macho male friends from high school, and after her initial surprise, she felt almost immediately that she could communicate much more comfortably with Judy than any of Cory’s other friends, male or female. She very quickly settled in to treating Judy as a female equal, albeit a younger one. That night she counseled her husband that he should have no worries about Judy producing an embarrassing situation by being discovered as a male at work and that, to avoid such an embarrassment, he should ask Judy to tell no one what his actual gender was and completely to act as a female.

Monday was to be the first day of work. On the Sunday Judy treated herself to a day of beauty preparations. She shampooed and carefully arranged her reddish blonde hair, the permanent she had had making it full of body and wave. She made sure all of her body hair was gone and filled the purse she would use at work with cosmetics for touchup. She ironed the blouse and skirt she would wear on her first day as a secretary. She trimmed her fingernails to a length that would allow typing and polished them a conservative pearlescent pink. When Cory came over that afternoon, they sat together on chaises around the pool of the apartment complex, reading in the sun. Cory was dressed in men’s bermuda shorts and a tennis shirt and Judy in a halter top and fitted white shorts. Judy’s tan was a perfect light brown, showing no strap lines. She was amazed at how much more comfortable she was, appearing in short summer clothing as an attractive female, than she ever had been, appearing in that type of male clothing.

In the morning after having coffee and a piece of toast, Judy slid off her babydoll pajamas, washed herself, and put on the conservative makeup expected of a businesswoman. She chose lacy, satin underwear to make her feel particularly feminine, to minimize the pressures of her first appearance as a female in the business world. She covered her slip, bra, waistnipper, and panties with her blouse with the pretty pleated overblouse, slid on a conservative navy skirt over her blouse and tan pantyhose, and smoothed her blouse. She carefully applied her foundation and moderate pink lipstick, and she lightly applied eyebrow pencil and brown mascara, for a business look. She arranged her hair to smoothly frame her pretty face, and she slipped on two-inch heeled navy pumps. In her full length mirror she saw an attractive young woman prepared for work. As she spied the white shoulder straps of her bra and slip through the back of her white blouse, she considered the fact that it was no longer necessary to hide this impression as it was in the winter when, appearing as a male, she needed to hide her straps with a heavy sweater. Instead, she felt pleasure in the entertainment she realized this impression would provide for the males at her work.

Cory’s father had offered to drive Cory and Judy to their first day of work at his company. When the car drove up, Judy was waiting at the curb, in conversation with a young woman who also lived in her apartment building. She graciously excused herself and slid into the back seat of the car in the feminine fashion that Angela had taught her. Cory was back to her female role, but she was dressed in slacks and open neck blouses and loafers with tassel, and she had short hair and no makeup. Judy presented quite a contrast, in her very feminine outfit, hair, and makeup. Cory’s father was struck with how great the differences in result were of this pair of young people’s broadening themselves from the different upbringings that Cory had received as a girl and Judy had received as a boy.

At their place of work Judy and Cory walked to the personnel office to fill out forms to allow them to begin to work at the company. Judy filled out the forms with the name Judith Frost but used Judd’s social security number. Cory’s father had explained two nights before that this would be all right. After two hours of adminstrivia, Judy was taken to Cory’s father’s department, where she was introduced to Ms. Cox, the administrative assistant whose aide she was assigned to be. Judy realized that a year before she would have felt demeaned to be working for a woman, but her education of the previous year had now taught her a more enlightened view. She was also cognizant that she derived a pleasure from the visual attention she received from a young male accountant in the department as she was brought into the office area. This attraction to Judy’s pretty face, hair, and body and well turned, nylon encased legs turned into a pleasant discussion as the young man introduced himself as Ned Williams while Judy was organizing her desk. Judy was careful to respond in the quiet, nonaggressive tone of voice that she had learned was the feminine style from living in the Rho Gamma sorority house.

Ms. Cox introduced Judy to the rest of the department and showed her where the coffee lounge, the cafeteria, and the ladies room were. She explained that Judy’s duties would be to transcribe memos, type dictated letters, and file the copies of these documents. The typing would be on a word processor at which she sit at a small desk in an open area of the department. The filing would require her to walk, of course in her heels, to an area of filing cabinets across the large room.

When Cory arrived to join Judy for lunch, Ned suggested he make it a threesome. He entertained Cory and Judy with conversation, focusing more of his attention on the pretty Judy, whose fingernails flashed as she moved the fork from her plate to her shiny, colored lips. After lunch, Judy and Cory excused themselves and went to the ladies room. Since Judy was seen as a female, she could use this bathroom and enjoy the pretty clothes and makeup that she saw on the other denizens of this bastion of femininity. After sitting on the toilet to urinate, as she was now fully in the habit of doing, she used the large mirror to refresh her lipstick and comb her shoulder-length hair. Meanwhile Cory waited on the sofa, an accommodation not available in a men’s room, Judy noted. Cory felt superior at the convenience of short hair and not wearing makeup, but Judy reveled in the beauty she saw reflected as she looked at herself in the mirror.

After work Cory had a family appointment to attend with her father, and Judy took the bus back to her apartment. As she got on the bus, a new experience was in store. A handsome young man, smiling at the pretty girl he saw, rose and offered Judy his seat. She smiled back, marveling at the effect of her female attraction. He, in turn, noted to himself what lovely perfume she was wearing.

Upon entering her apartment, she kicked off her heels, realizing that her feet were a bit tired after the full day in heels. At Georgia when she was wearing heels for a day, she was sitting most of the time, but that day she had been standing for a good deal of time in front of the filing cabinet. "Still," she thought, "the heels made my legs look curvy and thus so attractive to my colleagues who walked by." She began to be concerned that her legs still looked a bit muscular for a woman’s and thus less attractive than she would like them to be.

Judy took off her skirt and hung it up carefully, and did the same with her pretty blouse. Taking off her slip and hose and putting them in the hamper, she put on the nylon, sleeveless top she’d worn the evening before, chose a pretty pair of jeans, and slipped on a pretty pair of navy blue flats. Feeling that she wished to be attractive for herself or anyone who might come by, and sensitive about keeping her lips feeling soft and moisturized, she freshened her lipstick. She then set about preparing some dinner. While doing that, she enjoyed seeing her prettily shaped and colored fingernails and hearing the clicking sound they made as they touched the plates.

On the next day at work, as Judy sat typing a memorandum that she had been assigned, she looked down at her lap. She was excited by the rounded breasts that she saw between her eyes and her lap, that graceful rounded shape adorned with shiny pleats. She also found the soft sheen of her pinkish-beige skirt particularly pleasant and strongly in contrast to the rougher, brown cloth that in the years before she had become used to. And seeing the shine and warm, smooth color of her bestockinged legs above her knees completed a picture that she found so very appealing.

The days went by, with Judy every day trying to find a way to look as pretty as the day before. Ms. Cox was happy with her work, and Judy’s coworkers were struck with the pretty, pleasant young woman with whom they were working. The women found her perky, nicely dressed, and easy to share feelings with, and the men found her sweet and nice to look at. "What a richer set of feelings I get from work than when I was seen as a male," Judy thought. She was entranced at the opportunity to dress so attractively every day. One weekend evening at Cory’s house she mentioned that she now realized that women were expected to appear differently clothed every day. In response Cory’s mother offered to take Judy shopping for some more outfits that she could mix and match to produce a variety of impressions.

The following weekend found an attractive forty-five year old woman and her nineteen year old companion shopping in the mall. Cory’s mother was nominally aware of Judy’s sexual status, but emotionally she was encountering Judy as a young female friend, one with whom she could share the appreciation of feminine colors, fabrics, and designs in a way her own daughter was not inclined to do. As they skimmed through the racks of dresses, blouses, skirts and suits, one of them would squeal with delight when they encountered a possibility for Judy to try on. With a pile of selections they would go together into the lady’s dressing area for Judy put on these lovely clothes. One by one, she would come out of the dressing room to pose in front of the mirror and walk with feminine grace in front of her older advisor. Some of the selections they both rejected as being too plain or not fitting Judy’s personality or figure. Others produced a positive comment from Judy, but Mrs. Allen would explain why it was not quite right for Judy. How excited they would be when they found a piece that they both thought worth buying!

Judy said that she needed a longer slip than she owned, to match a longish silk skirt they had chosen, so they walked to the lingerie section. Judy glowed with enjoyment as she examined the beautiful bras, slips, an panties that hung in rack after rack of lace and satin. She held many slips against her body, deciding between ones with a lace top, ones with a flowered gauzy top, and ones with a lace-edged satin top. "How fine it is to choose a garment only on the basis of how beautiful it is to you, since these delicate underthings will be seen and felt by yourself and your significant other, only!" Judy thought.

The two women walked to the shoe store to buy more heels to match her new outfits. How different this was from what a male did, using the same few pairs of shoes with all outfits, Judy realized. The first two pairs that she chose were of business two-inch height, one a simple brown pump and the other a heeled pink sandal, with narrow pink straps. Judy was so excited by a pair of medium blue bow-pumps with a curved vamp and three-inch heels that she decided to buy them to wear occasionally at work, even though she was aware that standing in them would be tiring.

Cory and Judy found lots of things to do on the weekends: among others, attending romantic movies, touring around Shreveport, and going for walks. Typically both wore Bermuda shorts, with Judy with a cut-off, figure-revealing top and Cory with a loose T-shirt.

Besides these activities, they decided to join a tennis club for the summer. Judd had always enjoyed tennis, and Cory had taken tennis lessons in phys. ed. in the spring term. It was an activity they could enjoy doing together, it was fun, and it was really good exercise. Cory said that for playing tennis she found a skirt too much trouble and outside pockets easier, and that she preferred to play in a polo shirt over her athletic bra and white shorts. But Judy was also excited about the range of tennis outfits that this activity would allow her to buy and wear. She purchased a white cotton tank top with lace trim at the neckline and around the arm openings. She chose a print purple top with large red flowers. She bought two pleated, short tennis skirts, one in white and one in rose, excitedly seeing and feeling in front of the dressing room mirror how they would move on her as she moved. She bought three pair of pompom socks, with pompoms of colors to match her skirt or blouse. And she bought two pairs of tennis briefs, both of shiny white nylon with pockets at the leg openings to hold a tennis ball. One pair was plain in the rear, and one had a richly ruffled rear. When she first appeared on the court in her tennis outfit, she could not contain her excitement at how good she looked and how the men on the nearby courts looked at her. And even with her painted red fingernails wrapped around her racquet, she could produce a powerful serve. From then on, Judy and Cory played tennis at least once a week. Judy found it doubly enjoyable as compared to playing that game a year ago. It still was the case that the exercise and the challenge of the sport gave her great enjoyment, but now the beauty of her figure, face, fingers, and clothes on the court provided Judy much additional joy.

One day it was announced that their company would have a picnic on the weekend after next. Cory and Judy certainly wanted to attend, and they thought about what they would like to wear to the event. Judy found herself yearning for a romper that she had seen advertised in the newspaper. After work she went straight to the department store and tried on a half-dozen, finally choosing one with big blue polka dots on a yellow background. She also shopped for some yellow thong sandals with a covered low wedge heel to match her romper. She left feeling that she would be among the most enchantingly dressed at the picnic. The next day she modeled her new outfit for Cory, and they both got so excited about her feminine appearance even in sport clothes, that they fell into bed in excited intercourse, each achieving a pair of climaxes, one in a position with Cory on top, and one in a position with Judy on top.

The next day, Sunday, was a very hot day, and Cory called Judy to suggest they go swimming at a local lake. The question of bathing garb thus came under discussion. For Cory, comfort, the required modesty of covering her breasts, and support were the major issues. Therefore, she had recently bought a simple two-piece suit consisting of a grey nylon top with a rather high neck and baring her midriff, and shorts with a boy-leg and a high waist. Judy wanted to experience something more obviously feminine, but it was also necessary to fully hide any evidence of her penis, or people would make scathing remarks and her summer would be ruined. The bathing suit she had recently bought was therefore a skirted bikini that could be worn over her gaff. The bra had molded, underwired support cups with a low cut, showing the cleavage that Judy had been developing over the past year. The material of the bra and the underpanties was a bright, shiny pink patterned with red hearts, and the skirt was of shirred, shiny red material to match the hearts.

When Judy slipped on her suit, she decided that her cleavage needed more emphasis, to take some attention away from her waist, which was slim but not as narrow as that of many women. She slipped further support pads into her swimsuit bra cups under her breasts, and she determined to consider ways to further enhance her bosom. She put on some bright red lipstick that matched her skirt, her fingernail polish, and her toenails, making a nice contrast with her bronzed, smooth skin. She put on white button earrings, placed a white net coverup over her suit, and slid on her white low heeled sandals. She picked up a beach bag with her suntan lotion, cosmetic bag, and her wallet, and she walked downstairs to sit on the patio to wait for Cory.

While Cory and Judy were lying on the sand after swimming, Judy brought up her desire to have a fuller bosom and curvier legs, and they began to consider the possibility of Judy taking estrogen pills, rather than just the vitamins with a small dose of estrogen that she’d been taking for ten months. Judy had heard that it would lower her sex drive, and she was concerned that Cory would be displeased with this result. But Cory allowed that a relaxed sexual relationship would be pleasant for a while, and they agreed that taking significant doses of hormones would be only temporary, while Judy built up the breast tissue that Cory understood that Judy wished to have. Cory had a doctor friend who would agree to examine Judy and would understand his desire to appear as a woman.

Judy had not seen a female doctor before, and she was so pleased at the pleasant but professional way in which the doctor discussed her case. In her physical examination the doctor saw the enlarged and darkened aureolae and somewhat enlarged nipples that Judy’s long term use of light doses of estrogen had already caused. After Judy explained that she wished a short period of estrogen, to round her body, and had no plan for a long term administration of this drug, the doctor prescribed a two month supply and asked that Judy return for an examination after a month. Judy took her first pill in the office and took another each day for the next month. As the days passed, Judy excitedly saw her breasts enlarging, her bum rounding, and her calves smoothing out. Cory found her lover becoming more and more attractive. In their lovemaking sessions each could excite the other by stroking their feminine breasts. Lying in bed together, with Cory in the cotton pajamas she found easiest to sleep in and with Judy in her lacy nightie which matched her desire for beauty and silky feeling, they would successively face the other’s back and stroke her breasts, every time feeling such a surge of love for each other.

The increased level of hormones not only began to cause Judy’s breasts to grow and become more tender and her hips and bottom to smooth, soften, and take a yet more female shape, but they also caused the flesh over her cheekbones to soften and get rounder. Judy simply looked extremely feminine, even at night when she took her makeup off. Had she chosen to wear the androgynous clothes that Cory used, she would even less than Cory be seen as male. But Judy was far too fond of the beautiful colors, delicate frills, and lovely fabrics of women’s clothes to even consider wearing the clothes that Cory enjoyed.

The result of the hormones was that when the time came for Judy to travel back to the University for fitting of the bridesmaids dresses for Melanie and Rob’s wedding, her figure was quite curvaceous, a feature that was much admired by the other girls. For the bridesmaids Melanie had chosen a shiny, pastel blue full length gown with cap sleeves, a trim waist, a rather low back, and a sweetheart neckline. Angela helped Judy pick a light blue satin strapless bra and a longish half-slip in a matching color. She picked one of the same for herself. Judy went to the formal shop with two sorority sisters, and they entered adjacent dressing rooms, each with their own beautiful gown. The saleswomen measured each of them, marking the dress to assure that alterations would achieve the full beauty of the dress and the women: the fitted waist and bodice needed to smoothly follow their figures; the glistening skirt needed to fall just so and its hem needed to be just the right length, an inch off the ground when they were wearing their satin pumps with 3" heels, dyed to match the gown. Judy was entranced with the notion that she could look equally beautiful and feminine as her very pretty sorority sisters. This impression was confirmed when, upon leaving the store, back in informal shorts and a tank top, three male summer students swung their heads around as three so attractive women passed by.

Two weeks later, back in Shreveport, Cory had the idea that she and Judy spend a weekend at her family’s house at the lake. Her parents had to fly to California for an anniversary party of former neighbors. In preparation for this weekend of swimming in a private place, Judy bought her first true bikini bathing suit. It was a shiny silver outfit, with a top designed to support her breasts with a bit of padding and curve gracefully on the top of her growing breasts, exposing much cleavage. The bottoms were full enough around the legs that her gaff, pressing her privates between her legs, did not show and left a sleek, feminine line. At the same time, those bikini swim panties were quite short and appeared to be suspended just above her bottom cheeks as she swayed across the small beach in front of the summer house. Judy couldn’t imagine ever again wanting to wear men’s swimming trunks. Indeed the size and shape of her breasts now would not allow her to wear swimpants only, except on a topless beach. At the same time, her breasts were full enough that she could remove the straps of her bikini top with no fear of it slipping while she sunbathed or walked by the lake with Cory.

The next day, they decided to walk about in the local village. In preparation Judy donned a pretty, patchwork sundress that she had recently bought, as well as comfortable but pretty flats. The narrow straps on the sundress were strikingly feminine. The softening of her shoulders as a result of the hormones significantly reduced the problem that Judy had had earlier in the year of straps slipping off. The low neckline exposed her developing cleavage. And the beautiful mid-length colorful patchwork skirt was a joy to behold. As they relaxingly peered in this shop window and at that church, Judy began to realize how comfortable with appearing as a female this summer was leading her to be. Yes, it was still exciting when a man or a woman appreciated her feminine beauty, but mostly she herself appreciated her own appearance and had made this appreciation an irreversible part of her being.

Judy was getting mighty tired of her daily need to remove the light hair from her face and the chafing that it caused. She saw no benefit of facial hair, even for a male, but especially given that she foresaw a future appearing as a woman. She therefore decided to embark on a program of electrolysis on her face. Cory’s mother was able to recommend an electrologist who could be trusted to keep Judy’s actual sex confidential. Each Saturday Judy received a light treatment to her face, keeping the inflammation down so that normal foundation makeup covered the redness at work on Monday. After two months of treatment Judy’s legs and underarms required as much shaving as his face. More importantly, the smoothness of appearance and touch made Judy appreciate her feminine complexion. And while Judy would need treatments over many more months if her facial hair follicles were to be completely killed, Cory began even more to love the feel of Judy’s cheek when they kissed or made love.

Cory and Judy’s company announced a party for all employees the next weekend. The activity for the party was a square dance. The company would hire a caller and a bluegrass band. Looking forward to this event, Cory and Judy decided that Cory would go dressed in a checkered flannel shirt, men’s jeans, and men’s shoes and heavy white socks and Judy would purchase a peasant-style white blouse with a lowish elasticized neckline and elasticized puffed short sleeves, a peasant skirt with petticoats, and Mary-Jane style tapdance shoes, which she would wear over pantyhose. What a traditional couple they appeared as at the square dance party, except that Cory’s androgynous look was hardly that of a he-man, especially since all knew her to be a woman. Judy was entranced at the feel of the crinolines on her nylon-encased legs and the lovely swish of her full skirts as she executed the female steps of the square dance.

Judy had been writing her parents about her delightful summer as a woman and the changes that were happening to her. She and Cory planned a trip back to Judy’s home at the time of Judy’s birthday. Judy wanted to show her beauty off to her parents, and she wanted Cory to meet her mother. It was early August when they left on a Friday right after work in a car borrowed from Cory’s parents. Both were dressed in tank tops and shorts, but Judy was well made up whereas Cory’s face was natural. Cory wore sneakers, while Judy had golden sandals showing her shiny, pink toenails. While knowing that her mother accepted her adoption of a feminine pose, she had some tension as to how easily her mother would accept her as she was and treat her as a daughter.

As they alighted from the car in front of the Frost home, Judy’s mother excitedly came to the door to greet them. After a moment of surprise at the young woman that she saw her son to be, she immediately embraced Judy and began to appreciate how nice she looked and thought how nice it was to have a daughter. As the long weekend went on, she really enjoyed being able to talk about fashion with Judy, and she got particular pleasure from a trip to the mall that they made together, each being able to advise the other on clothes that they would try on and to share delight at particularly pretty pieces. In their conversation at home Judy asked and received her mother’s advice on providing adequate support for her growing breasts and for doing exercises that would strengthen her pectoral muscles that provided natural support. Judy’s mother opined that Judy had an advantage over most women that her male pectoral muscles were naturally more able to be strengthened. This was a special advantage of Judy’s experiment of gender destereotyping: in combination with the ability to take hormones Judy had beautifully shaped and supported breasts. Yet like genetic women, she was able to adorn them with bras which, while providing further support, also provided lovely shine and the attractiveness of delicate lace.

Judy’s father said that he still missed doing certain things with his son and suggested that he and Judy toss a football in the park across the street, as they had done in the previous summers. Moreover, he suggested that Judy don some male clothes while they did that. Judy tried on one of his male shirts from the closet in her room, but it did not fit because of her breasts. So she had to wear a grey sweat shirt that had last been worn at gym in high school. She tried on some pants, but they did not close around her butt, while they were loose in the waist due to the exercises she had been doing. So she put on sweat pants that matched the sweat shirt. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail with an elastic band. She wore no earrings or makeup. Out in the park, the father and child had fun tossing the football, and they were pleased that they could still carry out this typically male pursuit. But when they missed a toss and a passerby retrieved the ball, he commented to Judy’s father that it was nice that he would play football with a girl. Judy’s softened skin, her thin eyebrows, her figure, and her longish, shaped fingernails gave the impression of a girl even when in unisex clothes with no makeup.

Judy, Cory, and Judy’s parents assembled around their patio pool for their celebration of Judy’s birthday. As they swam, Judy’s father marveled at how pretty and curvy his wife and daughter were and how he could enjoy traditionally male-oriented sports conversation with both Cory and Judy and also enjoy their traditionally female warm concern for his well being. He also found himself savoring Cory’s company as he had his son’s when Judd was still acting male, and Judy’s mother appreciated the love that Cory showed toward their child. The presents that they all gave Judy indicated their acceptance of her appearance and their assumption that it was for the long term. Judy’s mother gave Judy a sapphire cocktail ring with a femininely narrow band and a broad lady’s belt with a fabric covered white buckle. Judy’s father gave her elegant dangling earrings with diamond chips at the end of the pendants. Cory gave Judy a new purse and a coral silk sleep set made up of a spaghetti-strapped shift embossed with a lovely pattern, matching tap pants, and a matching short robe. How lovely they all found these items, and how close these presents made all of them feel!

It was now only two weekends till Melanie and Rob’s wedding. Judy’s hair had grown longer, and her roots were showing their original color. Cory requested that Judy keep her hair the pretty strawberry blonde that it had been since the prom. So Judy made a hairdressers appointment for the following Saturday. When she thought about it, she found paying so much attention to her hair different from her attitude a year ago, when a couple of quick combs a day and a few shampoos per week were all the work her hair had received. But it was now natural to really enjoy the beauty of her tresses and the way they framed her face, and to work to keep them beautiful. As she left the beauty parlor, she felt she had done the most normal of things to keep her coiffure such a great contribution to her appearance.

For days before the wedding Judy dreamed about being a bridesmaid. Indeed as she walked down the aisle in the wedding procession in her beautiful blue gown, she was the focus of the congregation, who were all struck with her beauty and grace. Dancing at the reception with Cory, who wore a tuxedo, was as enjoyable as ever, but she was taken aback when the best man asked her to dance. This was her first time dancing as a woman with a male. Upon consideration, she realized that this was a female experience that would help her achieve her gender-broadening objectives, so she relaxed. When one of the ushers also asked her to dance, she found that she could quite enjoy the experience of so prettily swirling in her gorgeous gown while making small talk with a man. Nevertheless, she was happiest when dancing with her love, Cory. The romance of the wedding made her especially aware of how much in love they were. When the bouquet was tossed, it came right in Judy’s direction. Catching it, she began to dream about the day when she herself would be a bride.

As late August approached, Judy and Cory, all the more in love, discussed their upcoming college year as sophomores. They decided to be roommates at Rho Gamma. Judy stated emphatically that she enjoyed her life dressed as a woman so much that she certainly did not want to return to male clothing. Moreover, her shape now necessitated feminine garb if it was not to be baggy and uncomfortable. Interestingly enough, also with the goal of comfort Cory wore androgynous clothes. Because they were pinned, each always wore both of the pins of the other, though no one could tell that it was not their own pair of sorority and fraternity pins that each of them wore.

Upon their return to campus, the fraternity and sorority had a joint meeting to discuss whether they should continue their experiment of gender destereotyping into the new freshman pledges. Cory and Judy expressed their opinion that the experiment on them had been most successful, and they strongly advised the program’s continuation. After a vote it was decided to broaden the experiment to two more female pledges and two more male pledges. Other brothers and sisters volunteered to be the pledge advisors of these four new pledges, and Cory and Judy agreed to be available to give advice as well.

But Cory followed up this discussion by pointing out that the brothers and sisters were being somewhat hypocritical by having only pledges sensitized against the gender stereotypes. After all, she said, if there was a value in their program, having experiences that would remove the gender stereotype would be useful to all. Cory therefore suggested that the whole Delta Kappa Upsilon fraternity membership and the Rho Gamma sorority membership should begin to participate in the bi-gender experience. The men would let their hair grow long and keep it pretty every day, and the women would cut their hair to the same length that the men would aim for and keep it at that length by a haircut once per month. The brothers and sisters felt that in the spirit of the idea, they could not refuse, so Cory and Judy went out to buy thirty bottles of shampoo with conditioner and thirty pink hairbrushes with the bristles set around a cylinder. A pair of hairdressers were brought into the sorority house on one Saturday, and at the end of the day Judy had hair longer not only than her brothers but also longer than any of her sisters.

The admiration of her sorority sisters, the busy eyes of the male students, and the love shown by Cory energized Judy’s life. Her singing with the Femtones gave her an outlet to show off her femininity at the same time as she expressed herself artistically. Sexually, socially, and academically she was full of success. "What a great idea had been the fraternity initiation scheme," Judy felt.

Allowing this idea to be felt by Judy’s and Cory’s fraternity brothers became a major extracurricular project for them. As the brothers’ hair grew, Judy and Cory gave classes first in brushing and conditioning and later in styling with a curling iron and keeping it in place with hair spray. After a few months, the hairdressers who were styling the Rho Gamma sisters’ hair in the layered style that was common for women with short hair was brought in for all the evenings of one week to cut each brother’s hair into the same style. By December each brother had very pretty hair and had learned how much time keeping it pretty takes.

As the second semester began, Judy and Cory then suggested a debut party on the evening before the basketball game with Georgia Tech. At the party each brother would wear the same ensemble: an evening gown, high heels, and makeup, and each sister would wear a tux. To make this come to pass, a representative from the local gown outlet was invited to come during the registration period for the second semester to present possibilities for a gown.

Before that visit each brother was measured at the chest and at the waist, and the DKU and Rho Gamma presidents shopped together at a lingerie outlet for longline bras of a style and size strongly cinching each brother’s waist. When the large order of bras arrived, they were picked up by the DKU president, somewhat redfaced. Back at the frat house, each brother was issued his bra. They were shown by Judy how to help each other on with his bra, and then each was measured for dress size and their feet for shoe size.

On the next evening the women’s formalwear saleswoman arrived in her company’s truck and rolled out a rack on which hung eleven full-length evening gowns. They were all in Judy’s size since it had been agreed that Judy would model the gowns. The board room of the fraternity had been set aside as a changing room. Judy stood there in her strapless bra and panties, a garter belt and shiny silky stockings, a full-length half slip, formal white high heel pumps, and a pretty pink chiffon robe, waiting for the time to put on the first gown.

With all the brothers and sisters assembled, Judy donned the first gown, a bright red number with pleats on the bodice and at the hem brushing the tops of her feet, and she walked out of the changing room into the main functions room. She tried to follow the walk and deportment of models that she had seen on television, strutting and twirling. Among the other gowns Judy modeled were a canary yellow creation with filmy light yellow sleeves, a straight-skirted silver gown with off the shoulder wide sleeves and a fabric rose at the center, a medium green high necked sleeveless gown with a pleated skirt, a royal purple gown with an A-line skirt, a boat neck, and ribbons woven in at the bodice and waist, and a light pink piece of froth with spaghetti straps and ruffles at the waist and hem.

It had been decided that the Rho Gamma sisters would have the vote of which gown and shoes would be chosen, just as the DKU brothers had the choice of the tux and formal men’s shoes that the women would wear. The choices of women’s shoes were presented by projection from the Internet. After caucusing, the sisters settled upon a deep pink strapless with lace at the décolletage and a luminous silk skirt over multiple levels of netting and attached petticoats. They chose mauve strappy high heels to set off the gowns.

On the morning of the debutante ball three hairdressers came to the fraternity with driers and hairsetting lotions. In groups of nine at a time each of the DKU brothers found themselves, after two hours of treatments, with their hair tight with big curlers, and after another two hours of drying and combing out, with their hair full of body, shiny, and with graceful big curls. In the meantime each had closely shaven his chest and underarms according to Judy’s instruction, while wearing a showercap that had been issued to them to keep their hair styles from being damaged by the water.

Early in that evening Judy collected all of her well coiffed brothers into the fraternity dining room, which had thirty rented makeup mirrors on the tables, and first by lecture and demonstration and then moving from table to table she coached all of them in putting on their makeup: foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and a luscious pinkish red lipstick. Each brother took the dress and shoes with his name on them as well as a bowl of birdseed that they had been given, and went with his roommate to their room. There each pulled on his black lace-edged nylon panties, which had been included in the bra delivery. Each brother helped his roomate to hook up his black longline bra, and then each filled his bra cups with birdseed filled ziplock sandwich bags as they had been told to do to give them the feminine shape at their chest. Then they rolled on their panty hose for the first time, finding the sensations unusual but sexy. They put their evening gowns over their head, with the full heavily petticoated skirts swirling about their heads and upper bodies, and they pulled the gowns down to feel the high narrow waists just below their ribs and thus higher than their natural waistlines. Now the skirts gave a lovely tickling to their nylon covered legs. Each pulled up the side zippers of the strapless gowns up for their roommate, and then each adjusted their own lace topped décolletage so that it covered, albeit barely, their bra tops and exposed their hairless chests. Sitting down, they slid their feet into their strappy mauve sandals with 4-inch heels and reached down to adjust the shoes and buckle the high ankle straps.

They then returned to the makeup room to comb every hair into its pretty, feminine place and to freshen up their face powder and lipstick. They were each then given a moderate width bangle style silver bracelet, a silver necklace of large chain links with flat curved faces to catch the light, and gracefully curved clip-on earrings of brushed silver. They each were instructed to select from a felt lined jewelry box three narrow silver rings that fit them, two on the smallest fingers on their right hand and one on the pinky on their left hand. They put these pieces of jewelry in their places, most having some difficulty hooking the necklace behind their neck. They were then each led to a full length mirror to view themselves in all their feminine glory. Amazed they could appear so feminine and pretty, they were then brought to the main hall of their fraternity, where a photographer was ready to take a picture of each in his feminine finery, standing facing forward, then standing in profile , then sitting facing forward, then sitting in profile, and finally in a closeup of their lovely looking faces and hair. They were then lined up and photographed as a group, producing a picture appropriate for any sorority’s wall of members.

In the meanwhile the Rho Gamma sisters had been at their sorority house putting on men’s cotton underpants and t-shirts, men’s formal shirts with studs, a tuxedo with a cummerbund and suspenders, which in a not very male fashion curved outside their breasts, black cotton socks, and patent leather men’s formal shoes. Their hair was arranged with the bangs combed back. They also were photographed for the sorority records, and then they all strolled to the DKU fraternity house, appearing at first sight to be a club of shortish peachfaced young men off to pick up their dates.

The sisters and brothers, each in their nontraditional dress, congregated in the hall of the upper story of the frat house. As a band that had been hired played a processional march, each brother debutante, escorted by a Rho Gamma sister in her tux, walked down the stairs, the brothers’ deep pink gowns swishing against their nylon covered legs. The nylon showed only at their strap surrounded feet, the rest being covered by the full length gown. Some of the brothers tottered a bit on their 4-inch heels.

The band then struck up a romantic slow waltz, and each sister twirled their pink clad partner around the dance floor, their jewelry flashing in the rotating disco light at the ceiling. For dance after dance the sisters experienced the ease of dancing in flat shoes, which made them move less daintily than they were used to, and the brothers experienced dancing in their heels. When the event was over, the brothers were extraordinarily sore in the feet but especially enervated. Sprawled on sofas in the library, they reveled in what a night it had been, with each brother and each sister having experienced deeply the appearance of the opposite gender.

On the next afternoon before they all attended the Georgia Tech game, they had a meeting, and it was decided that each brother would wear his black panties and each sister her cotton male underpants to cement the opposite sex experience that they had had. After that time, it was agreed, each would wear this underwear at least on day per month to renew his or her understanding of the bodily sensations the opposite sex found normal.

During the second semester, Judy started to realize that she was experiencing the positive feelings from having a feminine appearance without experiencing the discomfort of a monthly period that all young women must deal with. She decided that her next feminine experience should involve buying and using tampons regularly. Of course, she had neither a vagina nor a monthly period, so she asked Cory to tell her on which days she needed to use tampons and to use them herself on those days in the only opening she had available. In preparation she went to the drugstore and bought two boxes of slim tampons, realizing that her opening was not used to anything inserted in it and would need training. Eight days later Cory announced that her flow had begun, so that evening Judy got out her box of tampons and a jar of petroleum jelly. Pulling up her nightgown and smearing the Vaseline liberally in her anus, she lay on the bed and asked Cory to insert her first tampon. It took some jiggling and some pushing, and it caused a good deal of pain at first, but eventually Cory got the tube placed up Judy’s rear and then slid out the tube, leaving the tampon in place. What a funny filled up feeling it caused in Judy, and the little string hanging out tickled her bottom.

That night Judy rolled about, having trouble sleeping with her tampon in place. And in the morning, she pulled on the little string to pull out the tampon and had to figure out how to dispose of it. But after defecating and showering, she pushed a tampon into herself for the first time. It took her a bit of time, but "Practice makes perfect," she thought. She put two tampons in the little plastic case that had come in the box, and she put the case in her purse. After she put on her panties, bra, her feminine outer clothing, and her makeup, she walked out to breakfast, finding walking to produce a funny sensation in her rear end. Cory noticed that during the morning the tampon made Judy’s walk a bit more wiggly than normal.

After lunch and in the late afternoon, Judy changed her tampon, in effect cleaning herself out, a healthful thing to do, she thought. Each time it became easier, and as the few days went on, Judy began to feel more and more feminine for the activity she was sharing with Cory and her sisters. Accordingly, she decided that like them she would continue to use tampons four and sometimes five days each month.

At the same time Judy was able to feel quite flexible about the kind of female garb she wore. Like most of the Georgia coeds, most of the time she wore pants to class and low heeled shoes. Of course, the pants that she wore were of a prettier material and had a curvier cut than she might have expected to wear a year and a half before when she was preparing to enter the university. One day she would wear mint green pants with a shiny finish, the next day bright blue with satin accents and a side zipper, and the next orange pants with small yellow flowers. Each day her shoes were of a color to match her pants and were chosen not simply to protect and support her feet but to decorate them, as well.

During the academic year Judy had reduced her hormone intake to the vitamin pills, and this had maintained her curvaceous figure. As the spring dance approached, she window-shopped for a dress that would show off her curves. One day she spied a rich green strapless, full-length sheath gown, and she just had to go in and try it on. It fit her as if it had been sewn for her, except that it was quite tight around her waist. Judy asked that the gown be put aside for her to try on again on the next day. Returning to the store, she had on her tightest waist nipper, and she selected an exquisitely feminine strapless bra. Trying on the dress, she found that her breasts nicely held up the bodice but that the waist was still a little snug but a reasonable fit. "Should she buy a corset to bring her waist into conformation with the gown?" Judy wondered. No, she concluded. If she was going to be a male who always lived with a feminine appearance, she should not encumber herself with the restrictions of movement of a corset any more than a modern female would. So the seamstress was called over, and she took Judy’s measurement and agreed to let out the waist of the gown just slightly.

On the day she picked up the now altered dress, she modeled it for her partner. Cory was very excited as Judy showed off the new dress she had bought. A few days later as they danced at the fall dance, Judy, appeared to be a beautiful woman with a pretty figure decorated by a superb gown. Her luminous complexion was enhanced by her skillful makeup. The smooth skin of her neck and upper chest was tan and lovely. Her cleavage, shown off by the lovely strapless gown, exhibited the curves of her bosom. Her waist curved gracefully inward from her chest, and the shape of her gown emphasized her rounded hips and bottom. Judy was the center of attention of all who saw her and especially of Cory. Cory and Judy were inextricably in love.

On the next morning, upon arising from their double bed, with Cory in cotton pajamas and Judy in her birthday nightie, they repeated the wonderful intercourse they had shared after the dance. They were permanently tied to one another, they agreed, and they proposed marriage each to the other. They wanted to advertise their engagement by the traditional wearing of a ring, but they decided that having only one member of the couple wear an engagement ring was an artifact of gender stereotyping. Judy was excited by having a traditional feminine diamond ring, but Cory felt the protruding stone would be a bother and decided she wanted a more male-styled diamond ring with the diamond encased within a bulky rounded setting. They excitedly called their parents with the news, and both couples of parents agreed to contribute the costs of the two expensive rings. A week later Cory and Judy went to the jeweler with their unusual engagement ring request of matching male and female engagement rings. It took another two weeks before the rings were ready. How astounded were their sorority and fraternity sisters and brothers when they saw these two beautiful rings and most excitedly and admiringly examined their bejeweled fingers. And in class Judy had to concentrate to avoid her mind wandering to her diamond ring which at once represented her love with Cory and enhanced her feminine impression.

Over the next semester Cory and Judy discussed and considered what their wedding would be like. They decided on a June wedding, at the gardens of the University. Cory and Judy knew that their wedding would be very unusual, at least in terms of the appearance of the bridal couple. As they discussed the matter, they decided that the wedding should be about making themselves happiest about their celebration of their permanent relationship and not be designed to be some kind of statement. Judy said that she felt most happy in their relationship when she was most femininely beautiful, and that therefore she wished to wear a flowing, white wedding gown with a full skirt and a train. Cory felt that her appearance on this day should recognize the specialness of the day and that optimizing her appearance while still being comfortable meant wearing a street-length simple but elegant white dress with a full skirt. However, to symbolize that her role in the relationship was not purely the traditionally feminine role, she decided to wear the jacket associated with a male white tie outfit. Thus over her dress she would wear this black jacket of essentially bolero length with tuxedo-style collars and tails providing a decoration for the back of her dress. The front of the jacket came down only to her female waist, so her clothes had comfort and showed both male and female aspects. She engaged a seamstress to design and create this wedding jacket.

Cory and Judy were taken by the idea that their wedding could celebrate sharing in a more complete way than most couples. They realized that the wedding is principally a celebration of the bride, the woman. Given the fact that they were both experiencing life to a significant degree as a woman, their wedding could fully celebrate both of them, unlike most weddings. Together they could pick out the wedding dresses for both, the lingerie both would wear for the wedding night, the trousseau for each, and the honeymoon clothes for each. Together they could get their hair and makeup done for the wedding.

Judy was continuously dreaming about her wedding gown. As early as November she and Cory had begun to visit bridal shops. Cory would try on the elegant white dresses that made her pretty and comfortable. Judy would try on the gorgeous white gowns, covered with jewels and lace and emphasizing her feminine curves. Each week made her more excited about the day she would appear in this exquisite garb. Judy found the choice very difficult, because there were so many beautiful options. But, using her now considerable experience of picking feminine clothing for herself, by February she had concluded which gown made her look most beautiful. The gown had a satin base, with delicate lace ornaments at the bottom of the skirt and at the top of the lowcut bodice. A tulle bow decorated the rear, and two small matching bows were attached in the front of the skirt at each hip. Petticoats displayed the full skirt and made Judy swoosh when she walked. White satin shoes with two inch but curvy, narrow heels would decorate her feet but allow her comfortably to walk down the aisle and dance. The veil that they chose fell to waist level from a crumpled satin cap and was made of exquisitely sheer nylon.

For Christmas Cory bought Judy lovely pendant pearl earrings, matching her pearl necklace, to wear at their wedding. Judy bought Cory diamond stud earrings and a bejeweled belt to decorate her feminine waist. Judy felt wonderful at receiving the attentiveness to a bride to be. Being so high from this lovely gift, she honored and excited Cory by wearing her new jewelry to the New Year’s Eve party that they attended.

Judy and Cory decided that for their honeymoon they would go to a resort in the Caribbean where formal dress was common in the evenings, so Judy would be able to wear each evening a different one of her beautiful gowns. Both in the pool at the resort and on the beaches on the island they would be swimming, so Judy needed even more bathing suits than she already owned. The result was that Judy was all involved in shopping for their wedding, their honeymoon, and their life together beyond their wedding. Trying to fit all that shopping into their study schedule was a real problem. Cory would have none of it, meaning that Saturdays found Judy happily shopping and Cory studying. Judy’s grades suffered a bit, but her wardrobe was becoming more and more beautiful and more and more feminine.

The wedding time was here. On the morning of their wedding they shared getting their hair done and getting made up for the wedding. Cory had pretty flowers woven into her short hair, and Judy had her still strawberry blonde hair curled into ringlets and piled high on her head Judy had herself made up dramatically while Cory put on simple lip gloss and a bit of translucent powder. Cory donned her wedding outfit, earrings, and belt. Judy put on the most gloriously feminine panties and a white satin bustier beautifully decorating her breasts. She wrapped herself with a garter belt that also cinched her waist, and she dreamily pulled on silk, not nylon, but silk stockings. She slid on her gorgeous gown, and her matron of honor, Angela, spent ten minutes buttoning up the back At the last minute she pulled on above the elbow silk gloves with a long row of self-covered buttons from her wrist to half way up her forearm, Angela again providing help.

As the guests entered the church where the ceremony would take place, the two sorority initiates in the second year gender destereotyping program were the ushers helping the guests to be seated. The wedding procession began with both of the brides’ parents, first the Allens and then the Frosts, both proud parents, willing to endure the discomfort of some of the guests as to the male spouse to be’s unconventional dress in the name of gender equality. Those guests with discomfort were further discomfited by the statement of gender-crossed dress forming next part the procession: Judy and Cory’s fraternity and sorority brothers and sisters, with all the fraternity members in the same gowns and other clothing they had worn at their debut, and the sorority members dressed in morning suits. Last before the principals, came the best man, Rob, and the matron of honor, Angela.

After a pause the organist switched to "Here Comes the Bride," and Cory began her walk down the aisle followed by Judy, whose appearance engendered many oohs and aahs. Her beautifully edged long train was kept in arrangement by the bridesmaids, who were the other two fraternity initiates experiencing the full gender destereotyping.

The vows and the rest of the ceremony were quite standard for a double ring ceremony, except that the groom who said "I do" was in the most beautiful bridal gown. When the two new spouses kissed, their lipsticks mixed tastily, and then the two proceeded back up the aisle to the Mendelssohn Wedding March, Judy’s gown swishing noisily and her long train trailing impressively behind.

At the reception Rob’s toast went as follows: "This wedding toast wishes the very best of married life to a brother and sister from all of their brothers and sisters. It’s special because both partners are simultaneously each other’s wife, each other’s husband, each other’s brother, and each other’s sister. And we, their brothers and sisters, too, as well as all present, salute them and wish them the best life has to offer."

On the wedding night in their honeymoon suite Judy sexily took off her suit, revealing the beautiful underwear she had worn all day. She put on a sheer white nylon jacket and, her satin heels still on, sashayed over to her beloved bride. Cory was wearing a peignoir, somewhat more conservative than the lingerie her husband wore. Though they had had sexual relations many times before by now, the beauty and special feel of their wedding night clothes and the specialness of the occasion made this a sexual night to remember forever.

The next morning, after a sumptuous breakfast delivered by room service, they took a taxi to the airport. They flew to the honeymoon they had arrange on Nassau Island. Judy spent her days in halter tops and short shorts or short skirts, and bikini bathing suits She spent her cocktail hours in summery dresses and her evenings in figure-enhancing and exposing evening gowns. Her feet, pretty with the iridescent pink polish that she had begun her gender training with, were covered with colorful sandals, beach thongs, flats, and high heels matching each evening gown.

For the summer both Judy and Cory had decided to look for a job with a building construction company, with the idea of both experiencing a typically male environment, in contrast to the previous summer. When they interviewed, they did not give their sex. From their appearance, the interviewer took them both to be young women. They asked to be considered for the full range of jobs available, and they were given a variety of tests. Judy’s strength was noticed as an outcome of a physical test, and the company decided that it would be useful for their anti-discrimination records if they offered her a job pushing a wheelbarrow. They offered a position operating the construction elevator to Cory. Cory and Judy accepted these offers and looked forward to a lucrative summer, given the high rate of pay for construction workers.

Arriving on the job, Cory was in her now accustomed androgynous clothes and no makeup and Judy was in feminine work blouses and jeans and daytime feminine makeup. Judy impressed her co-workers and the company, but she was somewhat uncomfortable with the come-ons she got from the males who surrounded her. Cory pointed out that an advantage of her appearance was that she encountered far fewer of such problems. Judy chalked up the harassment as part of her experiencing the other gender, and she refused any offers of dates by her co-workers.

Sort of as counter to the masculine experiences of the day, Judy decided to try ballet lessons to improve her grace. She went to a nearby ballet school, and she asked for a private meeting with the head teacher. She explained that she was a male trying to experience the life of a woman and thus wished to improve her grace and at the same time to experience the feminine form of ballet. She asked whether she might enroll in the ballet school if she could keep herself thoroughly enough appearing as a female to not embarrass the other dancers. The teacher admired Judy’s openness and ambition, and after a bit of thought said that first Judy should take a few private lessons, and if that worked out, it would be OK for her to take class lessons and even participate in the school recital.

After work one day, Judy went to the dance supply store and chose a kelly green skirted leotard and soft leather dance shoes held on by elastic ribbons over her foot. Two days later she appeared at the school after the normal class hours and was directed to a dressing room. There she freshened her makeup and tucked her male equipment in a tight panty, not wanting to use her gaff while doing such strong physical activity. She pulled her brightly colored leotard up over her bra and over her shoulders, checking that the skirt did indeed hide whatever bulge might appear at the bottom of her leotard.

The teacher was very impressed with Judy’s appearance and immediately went to work showing her how to stretch and then showing her some of the basic ballet steps. Judy was excited not only about this experience but also at the way her skirt swirled in the big mirror as she practiced the steps. However, as she twirled she found her long hair getting in her face.

The next morning Judy awoke with very sore muscles but a real feeling of satisfaction. That evening after work she got Cory to show her how to put her hair in a bun to keep her hair out of her face when dancing. When she went to her second lesson, her teacher was impressed with the dedication she was showing by putting her hair in the traditional style that allows a woman best to do the ballet steps. This attitude of being impressed with Judy continued as Judy began after only a few lessons to execute the ballet steps with some accuracy and grace.

After a month of two lessons per week the teacher told Judy, "You are welcome to join the class lessons and work with the other women, to prepare the school dance recital. To do that, you will need some toe shoes, even though it is too early for you to learn to dance en pointe." Even after ten evenings spent dancing ballet in her skirted leotard, Judy found it peculiarly feminine to be at the dance supply store buying such feminine shoes. Wrapping the ribbons around her legs to hold her shoes on somehow compared only with her bridal day in how strong a feminine experience it provided, she thought.

Arriving at the class, Judy realized that she would have to change in the same dressing room as the other women. He found a corner where the small bulge in his panties would be least likely to be spied. Still it was hard for to ignore that he was standing among a group of women, like them in their bra and panties, their hair in a bun, and pulling on their ballet leotards and their white satin toe shoes. But after they went out to the barre and he was welcomed by the group, he was so focused on making the steps precisely and gracefully that he forgot he was a femininely dressed man dancing among a group of women.

During the next four weeks of classes the teacher taught them a ballet routine and announced that they would be performing it in the school recital at the end of August. She measured each of the students for their dance costume, which she said would be ordered by the dance supply store. Judy was impressed that the ballet had refined her figure to a 38-30-39, a more shapely form than some of her classmates. Judy and her classmates vowed to work particularly hard at each class and come in for an extra class each weekend to synchronize their movements and make them as precise and yet graceful as possible. All of this work made Judy realize how much more athletic ballet was than the male games which he had played and practiced in the years before.

In early August Judy and Cory were invited to a party at a resort for Judy’s brother’s birthday. He asked Judy to come dressed as a man, so as not to make his friends uncomfortable. Judy decided to take the opportunity to experience appearing and dressing fully in the male fashion, after all this time out of that style of clothes. Of course, he wore no makeup and changed the quite decorative earrings that he usually wore for a pair of very small hoops, a style that some men were now following. Judd and Cory drove the three hours to the resort, with Judd feeling surprisingly uncomfortable without lipstick and in cotton underwear and with a shirt and pants that felt very baggy.

They became hungry at lunchtime and decided to stop at a diner. As they entered, Judd was very surprised that even though his hair was drawn back into a ponytail tied low down, as per the male fashion, and he had all male clothes and no makeup, the maitre d’ at the restaurant called him "M’am." She probably reacted to his feminine features, which he took so much for granted that he had forgotten how he’d appear: his dyed strawberry blonde hair with its permanent wave, his shapely nails, his smooth face, his narrow eyebrows, his rounded bosom, his paired earrings.

When they arrived at the resort, the couple was introduced by his brother to his friends as his brother Judd and his wife Cory. Many did a double take at being introduced to this feminine creature as Judd. Judd was embarrassed in a way he’d never been when in feminine dress, but he kept up his appearances for his brother’s sake. Nevertheless, after that evening his brother knocked on the door to their room and said that people were uncomfortable with his androgynous brother. He concluded by asking Judy to return to his now more accustomed appearance.

Judy had been prepared for that possibility. The next morning he happily got out the extra suitcase he had packed with his bra, panties, knee highs, skimmer flats, soft tan sweater set, pastel printed neck scarf, women’s slacks, and purse with makeup. Putting on all of these items made him much more comfortable, and the other guests also felt more comfortable when they saw Judy.

Upon returning home, Judy resumed her ballet lessons. Two weeks before the recital the ballet teacher announced that the order for the costume for their recital had come in at the dance supply store and that each of the women needed to go to have a final fitting. However feminine he had found buying the ballet shoes, it was even more so buying this white tutu with a shiny top, tight bodice, and knee-length nylon skirt that flowed as he moved. He also bought three pairs of white opaque nylon tights to wear with his tutu.

One day late in August Judy left work early to prepare herself for the ballet recital. She showered and shampooed her long hair. She tucked her male equipment and pulled on shiny white bikini panties and a shiny white bra, both bought especially for this occasion. She brushed her hair carefully into a bun, which she expertly secured with hairpins, and she put on pearl stud earrings in her pierced ears. She wound a small white scarf around her bun, tying it below the bun so that the ends gracefully hung down a few inches. She pulled on her ballet tights and applied dramatic stage makeup to her face, lips, and eyes. She then put on a sweatshirt, jeans, and flats and got her tutu, in its plastic bag, and her toe shoes out of her closet. By then Cory had come home from work, too, and they had a bite to eat, but Judy felt so excited that she could not eat much. The two of them drove to the auditorium where the recital was to take place. Cory went to sit in the audience, while Judy went through the stage door and to the women’s dressing room. There, with the other women in her class, as well as a bunch of young girls who also studied at the school, she completed her dressing. She first took off her jeans and shoes and then carefully took off her sweatshirt so as not to put one hair out of place. She slid into her gorgeous tutu, which she would be using for the first time, and one of the other dancers in her class zipped up her back. She then carefully placed her toe shoes on her feet and wrapped on and secured the ribbons.

She and her classmates walked in their beautiful outfits to the warmup room, where they all stretched at the barre and practiced a few of their steps for the last time before the recital. It seemed forever then for the children’s performances to be completed and for it to be time for the women’s class to go on for their performance. In the line of women Judy walked gracefully onto the stage, turning each foot sideways and very excited by the feeling of her long flowing nylon skirt on her tights-covered legs. Soon they were all concentrated on their dancing and no longer on their outfits. Cory was so impressed at Judy’s dancing and at how well her husband fit in among this troupe of curvy, graceful women. At the end of the performance, there was enthusiastic applause, and after going offstage, Judy shared his excitement with his fellow women.

As a married couple Judy and Cory moved into their own apartment for their junior year. Their parents had given them a bedroom set as a wedding present. As they planned where the furniture would go, Judy selected the dresser traditional for the female partner, and Cory selected the chest of drawers. After all, this was the best fit for the clothes that they each owned. Also, it was so consistent with their now inculcated ways of fully sharing the housework.

As the fall semester of their junior year began, the fraternity and sorority convened a one-day conference for further discussion of the effectiveness of the gender destereotyping experiment. The panel members with the most to offer were Cory and Judy and the four experimentees of the next class. Each of those four had all made a different decision as to how he or she would dress in their sophomore year. One of the women had decided to revert to normal feminine dress, but even so, she praised the experience she had had of wearing clothes more typical of a male. The other woman had decided to continue to appear fully in male clothing. One male had decided like Judy to appear henceforth as a female, and the other male had decided to wear male outer clothes but nylon panties and nylon vests as underwear because of their nice feel.

With three of the six fully having adopted the clothing of the opposite gender and another, Cory, rather liberally adopting male garb, was the result a removal of stereotyping or simply the formation of an addiction to opposite-gender garb, one of the senior brothers asked? No, it was not simply an addiction, they concluded. The obsession of today’s American culture with masculine and feminine clothing meant that a true understanding and mixture of masculine and feminine ways necessarily involves adoption of some clothing stereotypically associated with the opposite sex. Even those who adopted in full the appearance of the opposite sex really were mixing genders. For example, Judy, while appearing as feminine as any female, has a special appreciation of both male and female values, and she could take advantage of the more aggressive male traits to which he had been acculturated while young as well as the more accommodative female traits that she had now learned. That she appeared to be a woman and was able to act based on both of these gender-based experiences gave her an advantage over other women, while giving her the enjoyments of dressing and appearance that were special to dressing in a feminine fashion. She had found that she could work effectively in a job traditionally taken by a female as well as a job traditionally taken by a male.

After they graduated from Georgia, Judy and Cory decided to have a baby, an ultimate expression of their love. Of course, it was Cory who became pregnant and delivered the baby. Judy tried to be helpful and like many husbands participated with his wife in the training courses on natural childbirth and caring for a baby. The classes were a bit unusual in that with this couple the wife was wearing maternity jeans and the husband normally wore a skirt and a blouse, pantyhose and heels, and makeup. Still as the experience unfolded, it became a strong realization for Judy that ultimately there was one feminine experience that he could not experience. Whereas biology could be overcome to produce breasts and soft skin on him and cosmetics could be used to make him pretty, reproductive biology could not be overcome by biological or cosmetological aids, and Judy was to be forever denied the full experience of pregnancy and delivery. Still Judy could be a loving mother and father to their baby girl, just as Cory could be.

So their little girl grew up with two loving parents, each a role model. As she grew up, she learned that she had unusual parents, about whom some of her friends made hurtful comments. But she loved both of them, and she loved that she could choose to be pretty like her father, wearing skirts and heels much of the time and having long, well styled hair, or she could be more athletic looking and dressed down, like her mother. She could share ballet lessons with her tutu-clad father or share softball practice with her cleats-shod mother. Judy and Cory looked back at their fraternity and sorority experience, very satisfied with what it had led to in the next generation.
