A Perfect Pandemic: A Transsexual Transition in a Troubled Time

“Hey Bestie, need a ride to Beverly Hills tomorrow morning.”
“The stores are all closed.”
“Not going to a store, I’m buying new tits.”
“You’re crazy, you’ll catch Corona.”
“Surgeons always wear masks. I can probably get us some.”
The streets were empty, so parking was no problem. The nurse offered them masks, and wore one herself. Lara handed her Larry’s driver’s license.
“I really need a new one, but the DMV’s closed.”
“It’s okay, we operate on transgirls often.”
The doctor showed Lara her implants:
“Wow, they’re huge.”
“Your muscles will compress them, they’ll look great.”
The doctor marked her chest, she lay on a gurney, felt the prick of the needle and a cold rush of opioids in her arm, and woke up to the beep of a heart monitor.
She pulled down her covers and peered through the newly formed mounds of silicone encased in a coobie bra. The doctor entered, looked at her machine readings, and typed a note on his cell phone.
“Unless you need more down time, you can leave now.”
“Can I keep my mask?”
“Included in your price. The nurse will give you your aftercare instructions. Call my cell if you have any bleeding, and no rough play with those new toys for at least six weeks.”
The nurse handed her some OxyContin and antibiotic samples.
“More will be coming in the mail. Make sure you take the full course of antibiotics but try to get off the Oxy as soon as possible.”
She almost stumbled when she got up. 900 centiliters of silicone had thrown her off balance.
Alicia helped her into the car.
“You went big!”
“Far from the biggest they had, but extra high profile. I can’t wait to shop for bras.”
Parental Control

Lara’s phone flashed the +86 country code. It was her mom.
“Larry, how are you, darling.”
“Doing well, mom. I even remembered to pay your real estate taxes.”
“Wuhan’s finally out of lockdown. Your dad is at the consulate now, trying to arrange a flight.”
“You’ll be going from one lockdown to another. We’re supposed to stay at home, and I’m hardly going out at all.”
