Body Works (F, fant, tg, no sex)
By Anonymous Author c 1995

***

Tracy Lee Smith stared at her nude reflection in the mirror. 

She knew every inch, every statistic associated with her 
refection. She was five foot three and one half inches tall, 
weighed 105 pounds soaking wet. 

Her measurements were 33-24-35, a perfect size five, although 
she could wear a size six equally as well. Her shoe size was 
also a size 6, 6B to be exact. She wore a size 4 panties and a 
32 B bra. 

Her high firm breasts were neither too large nor too small for 
her slender appearing body. Long blonde hair fell in lose waves 
to just below her shoulders, accenting her golden tan. 

It was a beautiful body she knew, one that caused long admiring 
looks from men and quick jealous glances from women. 

A body in excellent physical health and tone, obviously a woman 
who exercised frequently to keep herself in shape. A perfect 
body... except for one little problem. It wasn't the body she 
had been born with. 

In fact, until she had been so rudely thrust into the body, it 
hadn't even been one of her own gender. 

Until a week ago, Tracy Lee Smith had been a man.

"Now Tracy, until you settle down we won't be able to finish 
the tests." 

"But I don't feel sick, doctor." Tracy said squirming 
uncomfortably as the gray haired doctor attached some 
electrodes to his chest. The conductive cream on the rubber 
cups was cold against his skin. He stared at the ceiling of the 
examination room, willing himself to ignore the cold 
electrodes.

"Right at this minute, yes. But as I've told you, you could 
drop over dead at any second." The doctor said, as he adjusted 
some dials on a machine sitting next to the examination table. 

Tracy glanced over at the machine and watched a needle on a 
dial swing wildly from one side to the other. He looked up at 
the ceiling again.
In spite of his assertion that he was feeling fine, he felt a 
his stomach become a little queasy. 

"What is that thing supposed to show?" Tracy indicated with a 
nod of his head the machine the doctor was adjusting. 

"It measures your heart rate, among other things. Now be still 
until I finish the reading." The doctor commanded. 

Tracy resumed watching the ceiling. In the half hour he had 
been laying on his back, covered with only a small towel over 
his hips, the ceiling hadn't moved an inch. The doctor moved 
the small lamp that was illuminating the room, sending the 
ceiling into darker shadows. 

Tracy closed his eyes and sighed. 

He must have fallen asleep; he realized when the doctor removed 
the rubber cups with a quick snap of his wrist. Tracy rubbed 
his eyes and yawned.

"Are you about through with that?" He was relaxed from his 
little nap, but still annoyed that the doctor would ruin his 
afternoon like he had. 

"All done. While you were taking you nap, I managed to complete 
all of the necessary tests." The doctor walked to the doorway 
and flipped a light switch on. The bright fluorescent lights 
momentarily blinded Tracy, causing him to blink. 

"You can get dressed now. When you're ready, come to my office 
and we'll discuss the tests results." 

A few minutes later Tracy knocked on the doctor's office door. 
The doctor invited him in and Tracy opened the door. 

"Please sit down, Tracy. We have a lot to talk about." 

Tracy sat down in the easy chair across from the doctor. 

"Tracy, I'm afraid that I have rather bad news for you." The 
doctor began gravely. "You're dying." 

"So you've said." Tracy said. His tone was almost defensive. 
All this talk about him dying was making him nervous. "I think 
you're wrong, I feel fine." 

The doctor sighed. "I know. But all the tests indicate that you 
won't live much more than five or six months. Your heart could 
give out just like that." 
The doctor snapped his fingers. "Or it could slowly deteriorate 
until it just quits. Either way, you'll die. 

"Is there anything we can do? A heart transplant or something?" 
Tracy asked hopefully. 

The doctor shook his head. "No, I'm sorry. Not even a heart 
transplant will help. The only thing that would save you is a 
complete new body."

Tracy looked dejectedly down at the floor. The doctor's 
diagnosis was exactly the same as the three other doctors he 
had seen. There was no hope. 

It wasn't as though he'd abused his body. He'd exercised 
regularly, didn't smoke or drink and ate the right kinds of 
foods. Despite his careful regiment, the doctors had all told 
him the same thing, he was dying. 

"I see." Tracy started to rise. The doctor stopped him. 

"Wait, Mr. Smith. I said that a heart transplant wouldn't 
work." 

"So you said." Tracy looked at the doctor expectantly. 

"I read that there's an experimental transplant research going 
on over at the University Medical Center. It involves whole 
body transplants." 

"Whole body transplants?" Tracy sat back down in the chair. 

"Well, not exactly the whole body. It seems that what they do 
is transplant a part of the brain, the part that contains the 
personality of the patient, into the brain of the donor." 

"A brain transplant? That sounds like something out of a 
science fiction movie. It isn't possible is it?" 

"The Doctors at the Center seem to think so." The doctor grew 
silent while he waited for Tracy to digest the implications. 
"Mr. Smith, I'd like to sign you up for the program." 

Tracy hesitated. "A brain transplant? I, I'm not sure..." 

"Mr. Smith... Tracy, you have nothing to lose. At worse you'll 
die in six months anyway. At best, you'll have a new life with 
many years ahead of you." 
The doctor smiled and pushed a stack of papers across his desk 
to Tracy. "Go ahead and sign, Tracy, you've got nothing to 
lose." 

Tracy picked up the pen and began signing the consent forms. 
When he had signed the last one he felt as though a weight had 
been removed from his shoulders. All he had to do now is wait. 
He hoped it wouldn't be too long.

The young messenger handed the clerk the thick envelope. As she 
took it the young man leered at her, causing her to blush. She 
signed the receipt and dismissed him with her eyes. 

"Thanks a lot, gorgeous." The messenger leered again. 

"Your welcome, creep." The woman said under her breath. She 
waited until the messenger left the room before she opened the 
envelope. It was an application for the experimental brain 
transplant program. 

"What is it, Mary?" A woman asked from behind her. 

"An application for the brain transplant program, Mrs. Harris." 
Mary said. 

She read the cover letter from the doctor. "Looks like just 
what the doctors are looking for." 

She thumbed through the release forms. "Damn, why don't they 
fill these things out properly?" 

"What's the matter?" 

"The doctor forgot to fill out the sex of the patient." 

Mrs. Harris glanced at the forms in Mary's hand. "What's the 
name?"
"Tracy Lee Smith." 
"Tracy Leigh? Pretty name. Sounds like she's a girl, Mary. Mark 
'female' in the gender blanks and send it up to the committee." 

"Yes, ma'am." Mary did as she was told.

"Well, Doctors, it would appear that we have a donor and a 
recipient that are a match." Doctor Hiram Bradshaw said to the 
Ethics committee. 

The doctors looked excitedly at each other. "How close?" One of 
the doctors asked. 

Bradshaw looked at his notes again. "Out of a possible 100 
points, they're a match at 96 points. They could be siblings." 

"If they're that close, then why did you call us together?"

Another doctor asked. "Both have volunteered for the program, 
otherwise we wouldn't have even cross matched them. You don't 
need the Ethics Committee to decide whether or not to proceed." 

"Under normal circumstances, no. But this is a rather unusual 
case." 
Bradshaw paused. For the thousandth time he wondered how such a 
mistake could have happened. "I believe I already mentioned 
that the patient and the donor could be siblings." 

The committee nodded as one in confirmation. 

"The problem is if they were, they would be brother and sister. 
They are different genders, Doctors. So the question you must 
decide tonight is do we deny the transplant and allow the 
recipient to die, or do we proceed and turn a young man into a 
young woman?" 

"Is there another patient or donor that we could use instead?" 

"No." 

The Doctors looked at each other for a few minutes, each lost 
in their own thoughts. Sometimes, the Ethics Committee had to 
decide more than just the black and white decisions of life or 
death. 

"Has this been discussed with the patient?" 

Doctor Bradshaw shook his head. "No. The error wasn't 
discovered until the patient had been prepped and was in the 
operating room." 

"They're ready to proceed now?" 

Doctor Bradshaw's silence confirmed the fact. The doctors 
looked at each other again and nodded to the Ethics Committee 
Chairperson, a brilliant young 
Gynecologist by the name of Nancy Webb. 

"The Committee recommends that you proceed, Doctor Bradshaw." 
She said. 

Doctor Bradshaw smiled and gave the committee a slight nod. Now 
no matter what happened it was no longer his responsibility. 
"Thank you Doctors."

Tracy almost panicked when he realized that he couldn't move. 
His fledgling struggles stopped when he heard a woman's voice 
telling him to relax. 

Tracy opened his eyes and looked up at the woman. She smiled 
back down at him. 

"Hello Tracy. My name is Doctor Webb, I'm the Chief of Staff 
and Chair the 
Ethics Committee. The operation was a total success, Tracy. 
You'll be able to get up and walk around tomorrow. But in the 
meantime, I've ordered bed rest, to allow you to adjust to your 
new body." 

Tracy blinked his eyes. His new body... his mind was in someone 
else's body. That would take some getting use to. He wondered 
if he would be as tall as he had been before. 

"How do I look?" Tracy managed to crock out. His throat was 
still sore from the tubes he knew they had stuck in him. His 
voice sounded a little strange, as though he had changed from a 
bass to a tenor. 

"Under the circumstances, quite good really." The doctor 
smiled. "The donor was in excellent health and condition. I 
think that you'll find it will service you well for many years 
to come." 

Years? "How old?" 

"I believe the donor's records indicated that you will be 
celebrating your twentieth birthday in another two months." 

My new body is only nineteen!, Tracy thought. He'd lost nearly 
twenty years off of his real age. My, God, what I can do with 
another twenty years added to my life, Tracy thought. His 
thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pick in his arm. He 
glanced down just as the doctor removed a syringe.

"I think that you need to sleep now, Tracy." She said smiling. 
"When you wake up again, you'll be in your room, and on the way 
to recovery." 

Tracy tried to thank the doctor but was asleep before he could 
open his mouth.

"Ah, we meet again, Tracy." Doctor Webb smiled down at Tracy 
when he opened his eyes. Tracy looked around the room. He was 
in the hospital room he'd been assigned, or one just like it, 
his hands seemed to be held down by restraints. 

"How are you feeling?" 

"Fine." Tracy said truthfully. In fact he'd never felt more 
alive in his life. It was amazing what a new healthy body 
twenty younger could do for you. 

"I need to do some tests." The doctor smiled and moved to the 
end of the bed. "So if you'll bare with me for a while...." She 
ran her thumbnail along the sole of Tracy's foot. It jerked. 
The doctor did the same test with the other foot with the same 
results. 

"Now wiggle you toes." The doctor watched intently as Tracy did 
as he'd been ordered. She proceeded to check his fingers, all 
appeared to be working as nature intended. 

"I have to go to the bathroom." Tracy said, feeling a pressure 
in his bladder. 

"That's the catheter. It makes you think that you have to go, 
actually it does the work for you. Tomorrow we'll remove it." 

Tracy nodded, there wasn't much to say about it. Still, it was 
an odd, strangely unsatisfying feeling. 

"Can you at least remove the restraints from my wrists?" Tracy 
asked. 

"No, not yet. There is still a lot of tubes sticking in your 
arms and we don't want you to disturb them just yet." 

Tracy protest that he wouldn't was cut short by the firm 
"doctor knows best" look the doctor shot him. Tracy sighed and 
resolved himself to being confined to bed for a while longer. 

"But what if I get hungry?" 

"The orderly will feed you." Doctor Webb patted his thigh. 
"Don't rush it. You'll be up and out of here in less than a 
week." 

"Yeah, sure." Tracy replied. 

They chatted for a while until the doctor's pager went off. She 
glanced at the number and excused herself, leaving Tracy alone 
with his new body and his thoughts. 

About an hour later, an orderly, a very attractive young woman, 
came in with lunch. Tracy knew he hadn't eaten in over 24 
hours, but could eat only half of it before feeling full. The 
orderly put the Television remote control in his hand and left 
the room. 

Tracy turned on the TV and ran it through the entire range of 
channels. 
Nothing much interested him, so he turned down the sound to a 
whisper and left it on. If nothing else, it would be a passive 
companion. 

Tracy was bored. And with boredom, came the chance to think 
about his new body. Since he was restrained hand and foot, he 
could do nothing more than try to explore his body with his 
mind. Concentrating on each feeling until he could identify it, 
Tracy went about mentally exploring his body. 

Some sensations, like the catheter hose taped to his inner 
thigh were easy to identify and catalog. Others, such as the 
strange feeling of sensitivity as the sheet rubbed across his 
chest were not. 

Some things he just guessed at. Like his height, he knew he was 
shorter than he had been before, and consequently probably 
weighed less too. 

Tracy couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong 
with his body. It wasn't just that it wasn't his, it was more 
than that. There were subtle differences that he could feel, 
some like his guess about his height were difficult to explain. 

Some were less so, like the weight on his chest. The donor had 
obviously worked out a lot, and had developed his pectoral 
muscles almost to the point of being grotesque. 

He had neatly cataloged his body, or at least most of it when 
he began to notice a warm tickle of liquid flowing down ward 
between his legs. Concerned that the catheter had sprung a 
leak, Tracy pushed the buzzer button to summon the nurse. 

A few minutes later, an attractive nurse he'd never seen before 
came into the room. 

"I'm Nurse Webster. Is there something wrong, Tracy?" She 
asked. 

Tracy wondered briefly why all of the medical staff kept using 
his first name. He was unaware that they had been given orders 
to use his first name to prevent a slip. In his current body, 
he certainly didn't look like a Mister. 
Tracy explained what he thought had occurred. The nurse raised 
the sheet and his hospital gown and carefully inspected the 
area in question. 

"It's alright. You must be imagining things. Besides what 
little leakage their might be will be caught by the under pad." 
She turned to leave.

"Wait Nurse, please." She turned around and waited. "I've been 
laying here since I woke up this morning. There's something I 
have to know."

A strange look crossed the nurse's face. "Certainly Tracy, I'll 
tell you if I can." 

"What color are my eyes and hair?" 

"Blue and blonde, in that order. Now, if you'll excuse me..." 
She said spinning on her heel and walking out of the room 
leaving Tracy with nothing more than a memory of her terrific 
looking figure. 

A blue-eyed blond, Tracy thought. 

Just after dinner, Doctor Webb returned along with another 
doctor
Tracy thought he recognized. 

"Good evening Tracy, how are you feeling now?" Doctor Webb 
asked. 

Tracy glanced at the other doctor. 

"Oh, excuse me. This is Doctor Bradshaw, he's the Doctor that
headed the surgical team in your transplant." Doctor Bradshaw 
nodded, but remained silent, he was busy doing the same tests 
Doctor Webb had performed earlier that day. 

"Doctor Webb? I want to know something." 

She looked expectantly at Tracy. 

"Is this new body of mine a girl?" 

The doctors glanced at each other. "Uh, what makes you think 
that?"
Doctor Webb asked. 

"I didn't have anything else better to do, so I took a mental 
inventory. 

It's not so much what I felt, but what I didn't feel that made 
me come to that conclusion." 

The doctors glanced at each other again. An unspoken question 
was asked and answered. 

"Uh, yes, it's a female." Doctor Bradshaw confirmed. Tracy 
could feel his world drop out from underneath him. 

"A blue eyed blonde?" 

"How did you know?" Doctor Webb asked surprised. 

"I asked." Tracy said quietly. 

"I see. Well, there's no more use for the restraints, now is 
there?"

Doctor Webb said, more to Bradshaw than to Tracy. 

Bradshaw shook his head and pushed the nurse's call button. A 
few seconds later the nurse who had told Tracy that he was a 
blonde came into the room. 

"Yes, Doctors?" 

"Please remove Miss Smith's restraints and IV's nurse." Webb 
said to the white clad woman. 

MISS Smith? Tracy thought in wonder as the nurse released first 
the restraints on his ankles then his wrists. 

Even though the restraints had been well padded, Tracy rubbed 
his wrists. 

He was stunned to see how slender and feminine his hands and 
wrists looked. 

He twisted his palms away from him and studied his slender 
fingers. The skin on the digits was smooth and firm, roughly 
confirming his new age. He turned them over and looked at the 
palms. 

"No calluses." He said surprised. 

"Young women of the donor's age rarely have them." Bradshaw 
supplied. 

Tracy looked up at the two doctors. "Tell me something about 
my, uh, donor." The "uh" was when the nurse removed the 
catheter. It was a relief to have it out, but it still felt 
like it was still inserted. Tracy resisted the urge to go 
exploring. 

Doctor Bradshaw glanced at the catheter the nurse was putting 
in a biological hazard soils bag. "That reminds me. If you feel 
the urge to go to the bathroom, ring for a bedpan. I don't want 
you out of bed just yet." 

"Right now, I couldn't even sit up, let alone get out of this 
bed, doctor." 

Tracy smiled weakly. 

"And for the next week, I don't want you wandering around by 
yourself. 

I've assigned Nurse Webster here," The nurse glanced up and 
smiled at the mention of her name. "to be your constant 
companion." 

"A baby sitter?" Tracy asked feeling slightly insulted. 

"If you want to use that term, yes. She will be your baby 
sitter." Bradshaw sighed. "Tracy, look, I know you feel 
alright. But you must realize that for a while at least, your 
body will be a stranger to you. Until you learn to control it, 
it might do things that might be either embarrassing or harmful 
to you."
 
"It's strange alright." Tracy deadpanned, bringing a giggle to 
Nurse Webster. 

"Nurse Webster is also our Nurse Instructor for the 
University's classes on Human Sexuality. She will, uh, teach 
you how to be comfortable with your new body, Miss Smith." 

"I can hardly wait." Tracy said dryly. 

The two doctors spoke for about an hour longer before leaving, 
satisfied that Tracy Lee Smith, ex-male wouldn't go off the 
deep end when they left. 

Right after dinner, he was given another injection and quickly 
fell asleep. 
He hadn't had the chance to explore his new body.

Daylight was barely streaming through the pulled draperies of 
Tracy's room when Nurse Webster came in carrying a large paper 
bag. "Come on sleepyhead, time for your bath." She announced. 

Tracy groaned and covered his eyes with his forearm when 
Webster pulled the drapes open. "I don't want a bath." 

Webster looked at her charge thoughtfully. "Okay, how about a 
shower then?" 

Tracy was wide-awake. "A shower, does that mean that I can get 
out of this damned bed?" 

"If you take it slow and easy, yes." Webster watched in 
amusement as Tracy whipped the cover back. 

When he started to sit up, however, Nurse Webster was right at 
the edge of the bed supporting him. Even though he was almost 
prepared for it, his stomach did a quick flip-flop when he felt 
the weight of his breasts on his chest. 

Tracy held his hand on Webster's shoulder until his stomach 
settled down a little. Nodding he was ready to try standing, 
Tracy scooted forward a bit and allowed his the calves of his 
legs to stretch over the side. Webster helped Tracy swing his 
legs over the side of the railing. 

Tracy and Webster were eyeball to eyeball. Tracy was panting 
with the effort. 

"Wait a second. Let's be sure we know what we're going to do. I 
want you to grip onto the edge of the bed as hard as you can 
and slide forward."

A look of panic crossed his face. "What if I fall?" 

"I'll catch you." Webster said firmly. Seeing his look of 
doubt, Webster smiled. "Don't worry, I'm strong enough to catch 
you. Besides all you have to do is make it from here to the 
wheelchair." 

Tracy nodded and started to slide off the bed. He slid and slid 
until his toes touched the ground. When the soles of his feet 
were flat, he looked up at Nurse Webster. She was a good five 
inches taller than he was. 

"My God, you're tall." The comment escaped his lips before he 
could think. 

He blushed, knowing that most women who are over six feet tall 
were usually sensitive about their height. 

Webster surprised him by laughing lightly. "Thank you, but I 
don't think that five nine is all that tall, not in today's 
society at least." 

Being suddenly thrust into a blue-eyed blonde woman's body 
hadn't diminished Tracy's mental capacity in the least. "Five 
nine?" His stomach did another flip-flop, as he whispered. 
"Then I must be....?" 

"About five foot four or there abouts." Came the calm reply. 
Webster caught Tracy before he fell to the floor. She picked 
him up and carefully laid him back on his bed. 

She decided to allow Tracy to remain as he was for the time 
being and allow him to come out of his faint naturally. 

A few minutes later, Tracy regained consciousness. His sharp 
mind quickly provided him with the answers why he found himself 
on the bed again. 

"You okay?" Webster asked. 

Tracy nodded. "I think so. I'm sorry, its just having been six 
foot tall since I was fifteen..." 

"I understand." 

"Webster, Jesus, I can't keep calling you 'Webster' all the 
time. What is your first name?"

"I'll tell you on one condition, you don't laugh." Webster 
looked serious. 

Tracy nodded, crossed one rather ample breast and held his palm 
up.

"Promise." 

"It's Danielle. Danielle Webster." She had said her name with 
narrowed eyes, obviously having been teased about it when she 
was younger. Tracy stuck her tiny hand in Danielle's and 
smiled. 

"Glad to meet you. Would you care to have dinner with me 
tonight?" Tracy joked. 

"Hospital food? Ugh. No thanks. But I will take you out to the 
best restaurant in town as so as they release you." 

"It's a deal." They shook hands again and giggled. 

A few minutes later, Tracy was feeling ready to stand again. 
Nurse
Webster, Danielle, helped her petite patient to stand and walk 
the short distance to the wheelchair. 

Danielle help Tracy put a hospital robe on and started pushing 
the wheelchair out the door into the hallway. 

"Where are we going?" 

"To the shower room, where your going to get the best shower a 
girl could ever hope for." 

Danielle pushed the chair a few feet down the corridor then 
suddenly stopped. Tracy looked back at her wondering why they 
had stopped for no apparent reason. He was surprised to find 
that she had disappeared. Growing close to panic, he was 
relieved when she came out of his room carrying the paper bag. 

"Forgot your clothing." She said simply. 

-0-0-0-

"Well do you want to try to stand under the shower, or have me 
give you a shower in the chair. Either way, you're going to get 
a good scrub down." 

"I'll stand." Tracy said. 

"Good girl." 

Tracy winced at the feminine pronoun. He wondered if he would 
ever get use to be called a "she" or a "her". 

Tracy watched as Danielle carefully adjusted the water in the 
shower. He waited in the wheelchair until she had returned 
before he tried to stand up. 

Carefully supporting his body with the arms of the chair Tracy 
stood. He wavered for a few seconds then steadied. 

"Very good." Danielle said as she undid the ties to the 
hospital gown. 

Tracy closed his eyes and held his head up as the gown slipped 
from his body. 

He could sense Danielle standing in front of him. 

"Tracy? Would you like to see what you look like?" 

Eyes still closed, Tracy took a deep breath and nodded. He 
could feel himself being maneuvered slightly to the side by the 
taller woman. 

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Danielle said softly. Tracy 
opened his eyes and gasped. 

His first impression was that the woman he saw in the mirror 
was so short! 

The next and most lasting impression was that she was 
beautiful. Her figure was in perfect proportion, hips not too 
wide, breasts just large enough and firm enough to give the 
undeniable signal that this was a woman. Although there could 
never be any doubt. 

A woman who would be just as happy with babies sucking on those 
firm perfect breasts as she would have been with a man doing 
it. 

Tracy turned to one side. Even in profile, his new body was 
perfect. He looked like an exquisitely crafted doll.
