"Personal Log: Stardate 46128.2. Lt. Jamie Gordon recording. Note: all log entries pertaining to Lt. Jamie Gordon classified under authorization Alpha Omega One Three and voice patterns of Jamie Gordon and James Gordon.
"It has been five days since I reported aboard the USS Korvan. The transporter malfunction that transformed me into a transgender individual has been thoroughly investigated and corrected, but without my original pattern I am going to have to remain as I am for the foreseeable future.
"We will arrive at the Dyson Sphere later today to begin our survey of the exterior until our sister ship arrives and then we can move on to the interior while they continue the exterior scans and remain outside the sphere to relay our observations to Starfleet Command and Science.
"Councilor Webster has requested that I start a separate log for myself to keep a record of my time as a transgender individual so that I can better understand what I am going through at this time and to track any personal changes in thoughts while I inhabit this body.
"At first I was overwhelmed by the changes in my body and thought processes following the transporter malfunction. Everyday activities that I took for granted, such as walking, talking, sitting or eating suddenly took on huge ramifications as I had to adjust to a new persona.
"Thanks to Carol, I had to turn learn all over again how to do these things so as not to revel to the rest of the crew that I had been a man prior to beaming over from Starbase 55. I know that all Starfleet personnel are trained to show respect for all life forms, but I guess we still harbor a few small insecurities regarding change. I myself, have been trying to get a grip on the changes that have happened to me.
"I am coming to the realization that if the crew found out I was a transgender person they would accept that, providing that they did not know about the malfunction. At worst I would be shunned by the crew as a freak, but that is unlikely. We are better trained than that, but it is still a fear that I have. At best the reaction I would get would be pity for the malfunction. I think pity actually be worse.
"My thought processes have been changing as well. Thanks to the increased hormones that Dr. Sportan has included in my diet I am thinking and feeling more like a woman than a man. At first this was very confusing for me but I am beginning to like it. The other night at the beach party I found myself flirting with the first office again. I also checked him out while we were swimming, God he has a cute ass. I can't believe I just said that.
"Carol has tried to convince me that it is perfectly normal for a young woman to enjoy looking at men in that manner, but I sometimes still think like the 30 year old man I was, not the 19 year old woman I appear to be now.
