The Gender Exchange

Two childhood friends with different backgrounds and personalities, but the same problem.

They could not fit in at school. They had no dates, no admirers and no friends, except themselves of course.

Albert was just not manly enough. He insisted on applying lip gloss and mascara to every event, and refused to wear masculine attires and scents.

Victoria, his childhood friend was a tomboy. She hated flowers and make-up, and the colour pink. In fact, she ditched her long curly hair for a low hair cut.

How did the people around them react?

Their school mates ridiculed them all day long, but they didn't care.

At church, they served as sermon topics to their Pastor.

And at home, they got into several arguments with their parents.

Even their siblings seemed to detest their decisions and choices.

But, as long as they had each other, they were happy and content.

Not until their friendly relationship was threatened.

They had two options.

Behave like a normal child.
OR
Be shipped to their parent's childhood homes to start life afresh.

They couldn't risk being without each other, or losing their identity.

Where would they go from here?
A ride into their worlds will tell us the answer.

Let's explore the story of Victoria Ike and Albert John. Perhaps, we'll find treasures and learn lessons.
