Subject: Bill and Ann Part 27 (Revised)

I am an older married man who has dated many cross dressers and
transgendered women over the years.  At first it was a kinky "walk and the
wild side" but over time I came to really have feelings for the person, and
that became more important than the intimacy we had.  The movie "Soldier's
Girl" was very moving and helped me realize that I really wanted to LOVE a
transgendered woman.

I have had several truly wonderful loving relationships, and have come to
believe that if I knew what I know now when I was young, I would have
married a transgendered woman.  This series is a fantasy in which I imagine
what that life might have been like.  It is set in the late 1960's, when I
was a teen.  –Bill (oral_guy_2000@yahoo.com)


Bill and Ann Part 27

Ann and I met with one of the guidance counselors at school, seeking
information on engineering schools.  We explained that neither of our
families could afford to pay our way through school.
 We thought we might have to go to school part time, working to pay for
school.

The counselor explained that because we were very good students, that we
may qualify for one or more scholarships.  She also mentioned that there
were a small number of schools that offered co-op programs.

"What is a co-op program?" I asked.

"It is a combination of work and study, she explained, "You go to school
for perhaps a semester and then work for a semester.  You get paid for the
work, which helps you to pay for school."

"How long does it take?" I asked.

"It takes a little longer," she said, "typically a 12 to 18 months longer.
When you are at school you typically take an overload, so these programs
are only for better students.  Both of your grades are superb, but you will
need to score well on the ACT or SAT tests."

"Are there such programs for engineering?" I asked.

"Yes, there are some," she replied, "and I will collect information on all
the programs I can find."

We thanked her and departed.  Neither of us had heard of co-op programs
before, but they sounded just right for us.

"I want to marry you, Ann," I said, "but we need to attend to our futures,
and our paths may diverge, which would not be good for a marriage."

"Why do our paths even need to diverge?" Ann asked.

"Both of us should get the best education we can to build for the future,"
I replied, "that might take us to different schools in different states."

Ann's eyes began to tear up. She blurted, "I nearly ruined everything and
lost you – I don't want that to happen again."

I took Ann in my arms and she cried on my shoulder.  "I'd rather you didn't
have reason to cry, but if you do, I want you to cry on my shoulder.  Let's
see how the college search goes."

For the next few weeks Ann expressed increasing concern about our future.
One day she said, "What if I don't go to college – what if I just stayed
at home as a housewife, like most women have done?"

"Ann, you are the woman of my dreams, and I know you can be so much more
than a housewife – I know some men think that a woman should be at home
– barefoot and pregnant – that's not what I want for you – is it
what YOU want?"

A sly grin crossed Ann's face, who said, "it might be very nice trying to
get me pregnant."

I took Ann in my arms and kissed her, I said "we can try at it as much as
you like, dear, but what do you REALLY want?"

"I want to spend the rest of my life with YOU!" she exclaimed, "and am
willing to do whatever may be needed to make that happen."

"Ok, I want that too," I said, "but that doesn't mean you have to give up
career choices."

We kissed some more, and agreed to continue to explore the possibilities,
and would strive to balance career and togetherness.

A few weeks later our guidance counselor presented us an armful of
documents from fifteen different colleges.  We thanked her departed,
feeling a little overwhelmed at the task before us.

Ann smiled and said, "With all this information, certainly there must be
some good choices available to us."

I agreed.  That night we spread out all of the documents on the dinner
table and began to sort through them.

We decided to first identify the colleges that had engineering programs
that fit our interest.  We were both very good a math and science, but my
interest was in electrical engineering, while Ann's interest was materials
science, because she really liked chemistry.

As we searched through the documents we found that most of the schools
offered one of the two programs, but only five offered both.  We decided
that if possible we would both go to the same college, so that narrowed the
search.

After reviewing the information about each college, we agreed that one just
had too strong of a religious orientation for our comfort – we wanted a
school that had a more scientific orientation – religion had already
done too much damage to humankind!

We narrowed the choices down to two, and then chose by location.  We chose
a college near Chicago that had both our interests, was well rated and had
a great co-op program.

We returned to the guidance counselor and announced our choice and inquired
about next steps.  Since we were both now in our Junior year, it was not
too early to apply, so we agreed to make application to the college we
chose.  Our counselor advised us of eleven different scholarships for which
we may quality.  She gave us application forms and both agreed to fill out
and submit them.  Any additional financial help would certainly be
welcomed!  We also made arrangements to take the SAT test, since our test
scores would be needed for our acceptance.  We would take the test in about
a month.

In addition, we needed to find a co-op sponsor company – the company
that would actually hire us.  We would need to make application to the
company and be interviewed.  Acceptance was concurrent with acceptance at
the college.

We reviewed the list of sponsor companies and selected ten to which we
would make application.  The chosen companies were all in the greater
Chicago area, so we could work at different companies and still live in the
Chicago area.

After all this work over more than a month, we were really happy that we
were likely to end up in the same school, and would be able to have a place
of our own.
