4 girls and a femboi

Aiden

And you can study all that!

Aiden

AGGGH, so jealous!

You

C’mon! I’ve already told you all, it’s much more boring than it sounds! ><

You

These past few weeks have been all about laws and regulations and stuff :/

You

Running away from these things was one of my reasons for going into science…

Lauren

Yeah… No

Lauren

I’m sure even boring regulations have so much juicy magical stuff on them!

Kate

I want to see your notes!

Kate

When we come back for Christmas!

You

I guess that’s fine…

Sophie

It would be better to have mine xD

Sophie

Her handwriting is horrendous~

Alex lifted her head from the phone, and stuck her tongue out to her girlfriend, writing on her own phone right across the room from her. She just answered with a mischievous wink and a little giggle. She decided to go back to her phone.

Aiden

I was the one sitting besides her during highschool

Aiden

It was… an experience

You

Hey! ><

Sophie

Anyways, don’t lie about there not being anything interesting

Sophie

You were quite into the chapter about shifters

You

Well, duh!

You

Wouldn’t you want to know about the species you suddenly found yourself as??

Kate

Yeah, that makes sense

You

Although it made me feel even more clearly how weird I am

You

Shifters are supposed to have 4 forms at least, I only have 2

You

Also, well, I kinda came out as some flavor of trans in front of everyone

You

The teacher said that normally all forms are the same sex

You

And if they are not, well…

Aiden

I still doubt you’ll get shit in a world of magic and shapeshifting

Aiden

C’mon, your cute new friend can use fire and has cool ears!

Sophie

Also, don’t pretend it was all just curiosity

Sophie

I still remember your face when the topic of half-shifters came up~

Aiden

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Kate

What????

Lauren

PFFFFFFFFF

Alex could not deal with the chat any longer. Looking up from her phone, she could see Sophie dying of laughter at her super embarrassed face. Who knew blushing could reach your neck? As she was about to say something snarky to her, Alex noticed that a bit ago, on the other group chat a notification came of her being called. She decided to check on the conversation.

Fox, witch and shift

Suki

I still have the outfit

Suki

But I don’t care much about my mother’s traditions

Sophie

You look sooooooo cute! OMG

Sophie

The white of the top contrasts amazing with your hair and fur

Suki

Thank you, witchie

Suki

This is one of the few outfits that work well with a tail

Suki

I guess it was made for that

Suki

Hey, so

Suki

This is probably too personal

Suki

But I kept thinking about it since we became friends at the party

Sophie

Look, Suki, I’m flattered but Alex and I are monogamous and

Suki

NOT THAT!

Suki

FFS, witchie, get your mind out of the gutter!

Suki

Good grief

Sophie

Sorry, sorry!

Sophie

Since you always seem kind of flirtatious I jumped to conclusions!

Suki

Sigh

Suki

Look, it’s fine, back to the topic

Suki

Your cute shiftie girlfriend has a problem with her birth form

Suki

And like, I get it, trans girl, birth male form and such

Suki

But all her forms are her body!

Suki

She’s a girl in all of them!

Suki

So I thought maybe we could do something to help her out

Suki

@Alex, would you be willing to try?

Sophie

@Alex, it’s OK if you don’t want to

Suki

Of course!

Sophie

She’s right now on the other chat, should be available soon

You

W...why?

You

Like, yeah, I hate it

You

I’m a girl, and I’m very much not girl-looking when on it

You

And all the general… dysphoria thing

You

Like, food tastes better and everything!

Sophie called her attention away from the phone, as she sat down besides her and started caressing her arm. The topic was swimming strongly in her head, she didn’t even feel the will to mess with Sophie about her misunderstanding right now. “I don’t know what she will propose, Alex, but I would be lying if I said I hadn’t noticed that you seem to dislike your male form more and more as time progressed. As she said, they’re all your body! I’m not saying you have to like it, but maybe the healthiest point would be something like “Sometimes it’s useful to be taller to grab stuff”?”. Alex was very conflicted about it, as a trans girl it was perfectly normal to hate her dysphoria inducing male body, no? But maybe she was right, since Alex had no need to ever be in it, maybe she should just start seeing it in a more neutral light? At that, she could see that Suki had kept writing.

Suki

I can only guess, but it fits with what I learned online

Suki

I was thinking about showing you that you’re a girl no matter the form

Suki

What I’m proposing is a makeover!

Alex started to ponder seriously. She was not looking forward to seeing a very dysphoria inducing boy-in-a-dress look from her male body at all. That would probably break her. Just as she was prepared to say no, Sophie grabbed her hand. She looked at her reassuring smile. Taking a deep breath, she tried to reframe it as exploring her gender in a non-linear sequence of events. She trusted that Sophie would not make her look too bad. Looking at her, she nodded her head.

 

Sophie

She’s not super convinced, but she says yes

Sophie

Wanna come home next weekend?
