I'ts for Your Own Good

Thanks to 'Drea for the beta test.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your author speaking. Before we step on board this story I must tell you that its a very disturbing and frightening one. Heck, it scares me, and I wrote it. Therefore very gentle readers are advised to read this story with extreme caution. With that warning out of the way, take a hold of my hand, and don’t let go, and we’ll all get to the end of this tale together...

“Welcome to tonight’s broadcast of ‘Focus on the Family.’ I’m your host, Dr. James Dobson. My guest tonight is Edward Bell, who just wrote a book entitled, ‘From Boy to Girl and Back Again’. Mr. Bell, lets start with when you first struggled with your gender.”

“Well, It started because I was abused sexually at seven years old. This abuse lasted two years, and at the end of it, my identity was totally shaken. Added to the loss of my father to suicide two years earlier, and getting as a stepfather an abusive alchoholic, and my connection to being a male all but totally destroyed.”

“And then what happened?”

“Well, when I was thirteen, I became a christian, and was lucky enough to get involved with a conservative Christian church which help counter the messages I was getting from my environment. But sadly, my struggles continued.”

“You describe in your book about a ‘seemingly never-ending cycle of indulgence followed by repentance.”

“Yes, sadly, my struggles continued right into my forties. By that point, I had been married, had a child, but lost them because my struggles caused me to have a breakdown.”

“Then you decided to, as you put it ‘stop struggling against my desires, and embrace them.’, right?”

“Yes. I started dressing up more, to start with. I then got a job telling my employer I was going to transition, and even got on female hormones.”

“That’s so tragic.”

“Yes, but fortunately God wasn’t done with me just yet. I happened to meet Pastor Rich, who actually had been trained in gender issues thanks to your Canadian branch. And with his help, I was able to pull out of that lifestyle, and I even was able to reconcile with my ex.”

“Praise God.”

“Indeed.”

After the taping, Edward left the studio, and returned to the hotel suite they had provided. Once inside, he began to shake and cry, and at the sound his ex wife came into the room.
“I cant do this, I can’t be him, please, ….” He sobbed.

“Its all for your own good.” His ex said, going to the medicine cabinet as she spoke, “You know we love you, and only want whats best for you.” She came out of the bathroom with a large needle, and pulling down his pants, plunged it into his backside.

Slowly, the sobbing stopped, and a blank look came across his face. The woman began repeating into his ear “You are a male, you are comfortable as a male. You have no desire to wear woman’s clothes or act female....”

After she was finished, she went to the room next door, and picked up the phone. A few moments later she said, “Rich, Its Shannon. The stuff isn’t holding him like it used to. He barely made it back to the room before it started wearing off.”

There was a pause, and then she said, “I cant up the dose anymore! We’re at maximum now.”

“Look, maybe we can just retire him from public speaking. We can always say he wants to go back to a private life.”

“I know how important a success story is! But if he breaks free, we lose everything!”

She sighs, and said, “Alright. I’ll do it.”

She hangs up the phone, and then returns to the room where her ex is sleeping, and sits beside him.

“I’m sorry hon.” she said, and grabbed a pillow and put it over his face...

Elisabeth Bell woke up with a start. “That was unpleasant.” she said to herself. “But although my ex isnt a fan of my transition, she’d never do something like that.”

She got up and pulled down a well-worn bible and started reading.

And she could feel God soothing her heart as she read.

End.

Whew. We made it through, right? I look forward to hearing what you all thought.
