"It's okay, Jeff," said Jon as Dale held Jeff's hand. Jon had to try to remember things and act according to the new reality. "It's natural to feel some attraction towards guys. You have female parts and if you're going to use them the way they're supposed to be used is with a guy. I don't know if it's right to call that 'gay'."
"So you like guys then?" wondered Sandy.
"Yeah, but I like girls too, somewhat. I'm not going out with anyone right now. Except you, of course."
"And someday, you're going to end up marrying a guy?"
"I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead. Maybe I will, I don't even know whether that'd be legal. What about you, Sandy?"
"I think, I'm sort of experimenting."
Jon frowned.
"Not that I mean that this date is an experiment, not in that way! I really do find you attractive."
Jon wasn't sure what to think, but he was less disconcerted than he'd otherwise be--he didn't realize it, but his wish that people get used to the changes as if they had been around for months, applied to himself too. "Just remember one thing, Sandy," said Jon. "I'm still a guy. I like guys, and I have the parts for it, and sometimes I get mood swings around the same time of the month that a girl does, but I'm really a guy. I don't want to wear girls' clothes, or fill my room with cute things--not that every girl does that anyway, look at Zoe."
"That's fine," said Sandy. "I just need to see you as yourself, right? So why don't we..."
