Orientation Day

Author's note: this is not a resolution story, just a bit of nonsense that came to me this morning

A group of twenty boys, all about fourteen years of age, shuffle their way into an auditorium in a school, a school they will be attending for the next four years of their lives.

A woman enters onto the stage, and comes to a podium, and begins to speak.

“Good morning. My name is Clara, and I am the headmistress of this school. After a few unfortunate incidents, it has become policy for us to have this orientation, because it seems that some parents have either gotten the wrong idea about us, or they have given the wrong impression to you, our prospective students.

So let me point out the school policy book that was given to you as you entered today, and make very clear the first portion, so there will be no confusion going forward.

What we do here is NOT ‘forced feminization’. The very idea of using dressing in women’s clothes as a punishment is abhorrent to us, as is the idea of trying to make boys dress up against their will.

To us, such a thing would be just as bad as forcing a boy who wishes to dress up or even become a girl to deny that desire and ‘man up’.

What we do here is give boys the freedom to explore their feminine side in a place of safety, with no judgement.

It may be that some of you discover you were always a girl inside, and in that case we have licensed psychologists on staff to walk you through the positives and negatives of a transition.

But most of you will not wish to go so far, and there will be NO pressure on you to do so.

Regardless of your eventual status, we hope you will find dressing up a joy and a pleasure you can try without pressure, but with encouragement.

If you have any questions or concerns, please bring them to me or any of the teachers. We take very seriously the mental health of our students, and will do our very best to help you however you may need it

Lastly, if you find the idea of being feminine completely against your nature, please tell us. As I have said, we are not here to cause harm to your well being, and will help you make other arrangements if needed.

Thank you for listening to me, and you are dismissed to go to your first classes.

End.
