| Valentine’s Day 2016 is just around the corner. But this story isn’t about Valentine’s Day, it’s about, if we were to follow other holiday’s example it would Valentine’s Eve, but again, we’re not. No, it’s Galentine’s Day. If you’re a Parks and Recreation fan, you know about Galentine’s Day. If not, Galentine’s Day is February 13th. It's a day for women to party and celebrate being women. The typical invitation will specify “no boys allowed”. In our tale, Conrad Johnson, Connie to his friends and family is an IT professional who works from home. He’s far from the typical urban husband. He doesn’t follow sports. Not the pro team; not the college teams. He doesn’t even know the names of most of the teams and couldn’t even tell you where they played. . His wife is unusual as well. She’s a corporate vice president at 32. She has a circle of friends that are in well-paying jobs as well. Working from home, Connie cooks and does most of the domestic upkeep. When there are group events, he ends up with the women, exchanging recipes and talking about chick flicks they’ve seen. He’s the one to get the invite to a Tupperware party and he’s as likely to get a birthday card from one of them as his wife. One of her friends, their resident feminist, owns a party supply shop. She’s always sending out flyers to entice people to celebrate obscure holidays. The latest mailing isn’t just a flyer; it’s an invitation a Galentine’s Day party… No Boys Allowed. Connie makes light of it and RSVPs. Dear Trish, I’m really sorry. I’ll have to decline your kind invitation to celebrate Galentine’s Day. I don’t have a thing to wear. LOL XOXO Connie Connie thinks it’ll be funny to his wife and she is amused and teases him about it. A bet ensues as to whether or not the women in question will make an exception an allow him to attend if he can eschew masculinity for the day. Well, if you read transgender fiction regularly it’ll come as no surprise that Connie loses the bet. Come along as Connie navigates the troubled waters of transforming himself into a totally version of himself… the new Connie. Then watch him struggle to overcome or accept what it’s done for him. |
