Okay so the last time I was over at Mike and Carol's they were packing up their books, and I took one that was a collection of the Nebula award winners from 1966. (The Nebula awards are presented by SF authors to the best stories of that year.)

One of the runners up was a cute little love story by Frederik Pohl, called Day Million.

The story is about a boy (of sorts), and a girl, and the girl was born a boy.

And the society in which they live, not only recognized her true nature, but had the ability to reshape her body to match her mind and heart.

Now, again, this story was written in 1966,

THE YEAR I WAS BORN!!!!

And it was a runner up for the best SF short story of that year.

I am just stunned at this . . .

I probably owned that book!

I was in high school in 1966, and Frederik Pohl was one of my top-ten favorite authors. I think I still own a collection of short stories with Heinlein's "All You Zombies" in it. It's always fun putting yourself into a story. Sometimes the fit astounds you! Bless you!
