"The student health clinic is really nice. Dr. Nicholas is the best. And nurse Ratched gives shots and you never feel them...or so I've heard..." gushed Stacy as they walked across campus. Leslie was lost in thought Great, I get to spend time with Stacy, and it's because some admin can't figure out my gender. This is not going to help my chance of getting a date with her. The bigger issue is that If I get an exam now, Dr Nicholas will see I'm somewhere between where I should be and a girl. How can I stall?
"Les? Is that you?" asked a familar voice. Leslie looked up and saw Lila, "I thought that was you, but why aren't you wearing anything we got you yesterday?"
"Leslie, who's this?" asked Stacy.
"I'm Lila, one of Les's good friends here on campus. She and I met in line for the swim test, with our friends Tammi and Staci, and really hit it off. Did you know she's the one that told off those guys in the locker room?"
"I'm Stacy, Leslie and I are off to the health clinic for a health check."
"Les, are you sick? You looked weird different than yesterday. You know Stacy, she doesn't look sick to me, but something is different about her face."
"Why are you calling Leslie "she?" He likes to be called he/him," replied Stacy.
"She didn't mention anything to us yesterday. In fact, I can guarantee Les here is a girl, at least biologically. You see.." started Lila
"Thanks Lila, but Stacy and I have something we need to do. Let me know what you are up to later. Bye!" rattled Leslie before grabbing Stacy's hand and starting to walk in the direction of the clinic.
"Nice to meet you!" shouted Stacy as they walked away. She turned to Leslie, "She seems nice, but why didn't you tell her what you told me? Also, I agree with her, I thought you looked a little different this morning compared to yesterday. I thought it was me, but your chin and is different and your hair isn't as silky."
"It's probably the outfit, " started Leslie, "as for telling her, I don't like to start the conversation unless someone brings it up and she never asked."
"I can see how it would be tough to talk about, so I'll drop it. Besides, we are here, let's go in." Leslie held the door open for Stacy and they went in. Leslie took the paperwork and put in his insurance information, address and gender (Male) on the paperwork before handing it back. His name was called a minute or two later.
"I'll be here when you get out," said Stacy taking out her phone. Leslie followed the nurse into a room after getting his weight and height. They reviewed his history with the nurse, who did not hesitate at all when Leslie said he was a man. Maybe there is hope after all. The nurse left and left a gown out, which he changed into after taking off his clothing and the sportbra. Once Leslie felt the weight of his breasts, his hope diminished. He took out his phone to see messages from Lila directly to him.
"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be a dude?"
"I swear I'm OK with whatever gender identity you want to use."
"I'll promise I won't tell the girls. Friends?"
A smile went on Leslie's face when he saw how much Lila cared about him. He responded with a heart emoji. Then he texted a thanks and that they would hang out soon." He finished the Wordle and was working on the layout of campus when a hot asian doctor came in and held out a hand, "Hi, I'm Dr Nicholas, here to help. I was told by Lee that today's visit is of a sensitive nature. What can I do for you?"
"Well, doc, there has been a mixup in my registration. I applied as a male, and then Stacy put me down as a female. She was kind enough to get me a meeting with Lee this morning, but Lee felt that I didn't look like my ID and couldn't change anything without your permission, if I understand correctly. So, how will this work?"
"Well, Leslie, first let me see these IDs to see if I agree with Lee." Leslie handing over the IDs to the doctor, who held them up to compare faces.
"Well, I can see why he felt the way he did. He mentioned a distinguishing birthmark that may help confirm your identity. Is that true?"
"Yes ma'am, it's true. Since it was in a sensitive area, he felt a medical professional should do it."
"I understand now, Please show it to me Leslie," said Dr Nicholas calmly.
Oh well. Here we go Leslie stood up and pulled up his gown in front of one of the sexiest women he had ever seen, showing his birthmark and his currently diminutive penis."
"May I evaluate your genitalia and chest?" Leslie nodded. He felt delicate gloved hands dance over his phallus, then prod where his balls should be. He saw a measuring tape being used to measure his penis, then his waist and hips and put away. Dr. Nicholas gestured to allow the gown to fall. She pulled down the top of the gown to expose the growths on his chest. While she was examining him, he felt a little flushed which Leslie chalked up to embarassment. She put the gown back and leaned back on the counter.
"Leslie, I am happy to document the birthmark as exactly the one on your record. I hope it helps you with your bureaucratic problem, but there is more here. I don't mean to alarm you, but I'm worried you may have klinefelter's syndrome, which is not documented or apparently told to you. It would explain your micropenis with hypospadias and possible cryptorchidism or agenesis of your testes. Although, you may have ovaries and CAH. In short, there should have been a workup of your ambiguous genitalia when you were born. Since you have gone through puberty, you have some secondary female characteristics, such as breast development and an elevated hip to waist ratio. I'm going to need some blood work and get an ultrasound. I'm going to request your medical record from the VA. Please wait here for nurse Ratched to come in while I get the ultrasound going. Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this," said Dr Nicholas as she put her hand on Leslie's thigh. It was then that he realied that he had a gorgeous woman handling his penis, and it didn't react. He was looking forward to when the 12 hours would be up.
