Once upon a time, a space ranger sitting at a bar-like scene that appears to have no liquors but rather fruit juices, vegetables and vegan-based meat. He's talking to someone he just met (another guy) named Henry. Henry asked him about what type of girls he liked. The Space Ranger told him "I'm already married with a husband I have thousands of descendants with me and I'm 462 years old.".

Henry was surprised to meet a senior at the bar because they're pretty rare to find that old since he's only 28 years old. Henry asked him "You have a husband?" the Space Ranger replied "I'm a woman when I was in my double-digit life before I change my gender as a man." Henry said "You look so young and handsome for a transman but why did you transition?". The Space Ranger explained why she transitioned to a man. "It's because being a man is so much easier to apply benefits for a job as a space ranger as I have more access to multiple various jobs with the amount of strength I had.

I'm at an advantage that I already had a family with 7 kids and the kids I have, have grown and had lives on their own with their own families and so is the rest of my great-grands. I'm still married with my husband to this day even though we parted ways to have a new life."

Henry wondered where is his husband or is he still alive at such an old age. Henry said "Is your husband dead?" The Space Ranger said "my husband is in AreaC2, near the orbit of Jupiter he's currently working at a space station. I still meet him and hang out with him when we have enough motives and interests to have an affair with each other." Henry felt his curiosity about their relationship whether they've broken up. Henry asked him "Why aren't you guys together anymore when you're married?" The Space Ranger replied "Being in our seniors is really mentally challenging, we sought new days of our lives for something new causing to abandon that we always wanted because it's getting old."

"That's why both of us don't have to be together all the time because there are so many things the universe can offer. My life for love has matured so much I'm becoming more emotionless about my own feelings because I'm so secured now. I chastise and really don't have interests in intimacy because why would I? I don't want to make my job to fall into promiscuity. I already have my descendants that I can rely upon they're like my friends. I got everything I need!"

Henry is amazed to meet a senior in their advanced age as many seniors have already died due to aging. He couldn't stop his excitement and his eager that he had met someone like him. Henry said "My great-great grandparents are already dead and I don't have any great grandparents living up to 200 years old and all of them are dead. I wished they were still alive so I can meet them and tell me stories of the 20th and the 21st centuries. I wondered what kind of life do they had in their time." The Space Ranger felt open enough to share his stories in his 21st century life and he said "Would you want to know my life back then?" an apparent reply to Henry is obviously yes.

The Space Ranger shared his story of his life in the 21st century "My whole life in the 21st century has been grounded on earth I never ventured into space because there's not enough technology to support everyone because it was still an infancy. Being a trans is considered evil and sinful to many religions. It's not an easy life to become a trans because you'd be very hated. But there are people out there are willing to help them from their sufferings. When I was a woman, being a woman is not easy. My only job is to become a mother and take care of the children. I never thought of a life after my kids had grown up because they say 'Life is too Short.' I always thought that I would die within this century as I expect what the life expectancy say at 76 years old. 

My kids always love playing their VR/AR games and interact with their friends but I prefer today's technology that I can get to touch, smell, and feel them no matter how far they are in light years or in another solar system. I do get into a fight with my husband, my marriage is not perfect yet I can't give you a good advice on how to be a perfect man to marry the woman of your life because I wasn't a man yet*chuckles*" Henry chucked as he chuckled. 

"I've remembered a news going around in the Korean peninsula that both of 2 nations used to be separated are getting their peace treaty and unification which was the amazing thing the world has to offer. I don't know if you understand about this yet" Henry couldn't relate to the politics of North and South Korean nations. 

The Space Ranger continued his story "then the first people on mars and the moon before the next destination to titan and other Gas Giant's moons planned to settle in other parts of the solar system. There's also a lot of liberalism going on at that time. You know what I mean?" Henry couldn't cope with the question and he answered with a body figure of a shrug The Space Ranger replied "What I mean is there was this thing called LGBTQ+ rights. They're getting more visible as they've found the ability to reproduce with advanced assisted reproductive technologies like IVG and Artificial Womb that was introduced secretly among infertile couples. Many kids born from an artificial womb felt different than those kids born from a womb in their mother. There were incidents of them getting bullied but these kids were really brave and strong and they've worked hard to fit in with the rest of the people and they got it and I'm really happy for them."
