Left alone in the chamber, Avi started by unlacing their shoes. They were worn, nearly had a hole over the left pinky toe, but Avi loved those shoes, and even more importantly, didn't have the money to buy more at the moment. After their shoes came off, they took off their socks and stuffed them into the shoes. They weren't sure if taking off their socks was mandatory, but it seemed a likely requirement based on how the rest of the visit was going. Next, Avi unbuckled their belt and slid it out of their jeans. They unbuttoned the jeans and unzipped the fly, peeling the jeans off their legs. The fabric, soft and worn, slid down their hairy thighs easily. Their thighs and calves were stocky, but it was nearly all muscle, earned from hours of hiking, running, and biking in the mountains near school. They folded their jeans neatly and set them on top of the shoes. Dressed only in their briefs and shirt, they debated which to take off next.
Avi had "ambiguous genitalia," which mostly meant that while they had a small penis, they also had a vaginal opening. They'd never had "corrective surgery," so after going on testosterone their dick had continued to grow. Now, they had a small but recognizable dick, no balls, and a vaginal opening.
All of this is to say, Avi was understandably nervous about taking off their briefs. Maybe the exam could just be done with those on, though Avi doubted it. And taking off their shirt...well, that would expose the bandages they wrapped their chest in every day to flatten it. Avi knew it wasn't the healthiest thing to do, but they were desperate to escape the unease they felt around their breasts.
As they hesitated, the door on the opposite side of the room opened and the man who had given them a business card emerged from the office, followed by another trim, well-dressed man with a stethoscope around his neck. Avi glanced nervously from their pile of clothes to the exam table to the men, and back. "You must be Avi," the man with the stethoscope said, a smile on his face as he extended his hand. "I'm Dr. Wilkes. I'll be doing your pre-employment physical today. And I believe you've already met Mr. North?" He gestured toward the other man, who looked decidedly less pleased with Avi.
