I have no idea of the story's title, or of the Author.

On another planet far away, men are vying for power, and one of the opposition gets zapped with a mysterious device that sends him far away, to another planet, a primitive one. The man emerges on this planet buck naked, and transformed to a woman. In a few weeks she finds that she is Pregnant. Fortunately, she emerges at a temperate time of the year. She learns to kill her own small game, avoid being eaten by a predator, and learns to catch and cook her own fish.

She learns to take care of her own hygiene and makes herself clothing from animal hide. She is heartbroken at her circumstances but learns to survive, and eventually delivers a baby, quickly learning to Breastfeed. She builds her and the baby a shelter on the side of a hill, close to a stream. She and the Baby are learning to survive.

In the meantime, back home, a friend of hers is trying to find out what happened to him. Eventually, he finds a "zapper" with the settings of the last use still in it....

Does anyone remember this story?

It’s a pretty close discription of Anon Alsop’s story, A Quiet Strength

Some things sound slightly different, but it’s really close...

I know I’m weird. The fact that I’m trans is probably one of the more normal things about me.

Thank you.

Most grateful. I'll look it up.
