Agrarian worlds were like most other planets in the
Community of Worlds: matriarchal. Women ran the show on these rural worlds.
Unlike Earth, women worked and ran the farms, similar to women gardening on
Earth, except women ran the whole show in these farming societies. Food and
textiles were the leading exports to the rest of the galaxy.
Also like Earth, farm girls are more fun. The hard work firms
and tones their bodies while the sun brings their skin to a golden glow. The
great news about farm girls on agricultural worlds is offset by the difficulty
in getting to one of these worlds. Men are tolerated as breeding stock and
disdained when from another planet.
Stephen was determined to be the exception. He fell in love
with a farm girl when she vacationed on Earth. She was sweet and kind. She
warned Stephen about her society’s views on men. She was willing to commit to
Stephen if he could immigrate to her planet, something never allowed a man
before.
Finally Stephen had an idea. He would undergo a BTG
transformation. She agreed she would still love and want to spend her life with
Stephen if he were a woman. Great! Stephen thought. He was transformed into
Jean the next day. Two weeks later he was traveling to Herdaa Prime with Edie, his
farm girlfriend.
Jean expected to be treated as other men are on Herdaa
Prime. He planned on a simple, quiet life in the home while Edie worked the
animals and fields. It didn’t work that way. Jean and Edie were accepted as a
couple on Herdaa Prime, but Jean was expected to work as the other women did.
It was hard at first for Jean, but she got used to the hard work and afternoon romps
in the hay. It certainly felt good to slip into bed with Edie after a long hard
day of work in the sun.
