Author's note: I've had this idea in my head for a while, but I didn't know what perspective to approach it from. So I opted for something more experimental. I kept thinking of the visual novel Camp Buddy when writing this. I encourage anyone reading to first review the story tags and read this warning in full before proceeding.
ALL CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY ARE OVER EIGHTEEN.
***
In the future, overpopulation is rampant. As resources become scarce, governments agree that something must be done. One scientist discovers that by just removing 20% of the male population's ability to procreate, the curve would level in a matter of decades.
In a controversial move, the UN opened talks about the most ethically sound way to castrate 20% of the male population. After many weeks, it was decided the most ethical approach would be to temporarily take away men that present submissive traits and transform them into what is now agreed to be the 3rd gender, f-male, or the more colloquially used term, femboy.
These failed men would be stripped of their identities and slowly transformed into effeminate homosexuals. Once they re-enter society, they are given basic jobs and are often assigned to be of public service to the sexual demands of pent-up men. Such new policies, while at first controversial, have resulted in numerous improvements for society overall.
However, not all who enter these camps are successfully transformed. While most attendees only require 2--3 months of training, some remain for years and protest their new roles. Reports have leaked from numerous camps that suggest possible human rights violations involving unethical treatment of these attendees. However, camp managers assure the public that their results should speak for themselves.

Journal Entry #1
12th of January
It's taken a year of training, but I finally have my license to train f-males at conversion camps. And with it, I've been hired by a camp on the outskirts of town as a counselor. After some brief introductions, I was shown my quarters in the admin room on the north-eastern wing of the reserve. It's not a large grounds, with 10-foot-tall barriers fencing us in, but I'm excited all the same.
Transforming men into f-males has become something of a lucrative business. Governments worldwide are eager to pay whatever it takes to help curb their growing population problem. I've been informed that the camp I'm stationed at pays each counselor depending on how successful they are at converting each new member. Transforming all of my assigned males will be a very big pay day. But failing to do so will result in compounding losses. I'm motivated, to say the least.
I met the four boys I would be in charge of. They're an interesting bunch. But I believe that with the right persuasion, I can make them transition. They seemed to calm down a little when I showed them their room. They contain just standard bunk beds after all; no chains or torture equipment like the media try to paint us as using.
They did however display some protest when I showed them the showers just north of their lodging. It's an open shower with nothing to cover their privates. One tried to bargain with me, asking if he could shower in his shorts. I told him no and pointed to the sign showing the strict bare-skin policy.
During my time in training, one teacher told us of an unofficial level system he used to grade the transition process. Basically, the idea is that at zero, you have non-compliance, and at three, you have compliant f-males who drop to their knees at a moment's notice. So I'm going to use his scale to monitor my group. At the time of writing this, my troop is at the following:
0 - Allan
0 - Taylor
0 - Chen
0 - Blake
Allan is a white male of eighteen. He's 5'4", wears glasses, and has curly brown hair. He also has very low muscle definition and a feminine way of standing. Despite his appearance, he still walks and talks much like any other boy. I suspect results will be gradual.
Taylor is a white, slightly tanned male at eighteen. He is 5'5" and has long blonde hair. He has a very feminine voice and seems much more energetic and talkative than the other boys. It's clear to me that he's a repressed homosexual, and on a personal note, I suspect some part of him is excited to be here.
Chen is an Asian American male, aged eighteen. He's the shortest at 5'2" with short black hair. It's clear that English is not his first language, so I should keep that in mind when communicating with him. Regardless, he's very quiet and shows no opposition to any verbal order. Even when showing the showers, he was dead quiet. I believe he will transition fairly quickly as well.
Blake is a white male at eighteen and, so far, has been the most difficult to handle. He stands at 5'8" with dark brown hair with a purple streak. He has shown clear disinterest in being here and has made it clear to me that he wants to leave. Converting him may be a challenge, but after some time, Blake may become more comfortable with his surroundings. If I can convince his new bunkmates to change, he may feel pressured to change too.
All in all, a productive day. I will try to remember to write in this to monitor my progress. As staff, we are required at the end of each day to enter more complex data into our monitoring systems, but keeping this unofficial record will help me keep track of my own private thoughts.

Journal Entry #2
20th of January
It's been just over a week since my last entry. My assigned boys have settled in nicely, making friends with each other and even some of the other campers. It's typical that within the first week or so, we do not ask anything of them. As doing the opposite can only strengthen resistance and make us seem hostile, Blake is still showing signs of defiance and has been caught twice sneaking around the border looking for a way out. Rather than punish him, we let him roam, as we're confident in the integrity of the surrounding walls.
Every morning, lunch, and night, the boys gather at the mess hall in the south-west part of the camp. Here, they are offered a buffet of food choices prepared by excellent chefs. What they don't realise is that the food is packed with revolutionary mind and body altering chemical compounds. These chemicals, when ingested enough over time, alter the body. This stuff is kept under wraps, as most governments haven't officially signed off on its use. However, the effects are remarkable.
In just a week, my group no longer has any body or facial hair. The food also seems to lower inhibitions drastically. Shower use, for example, has increased exponentially compared to the first two to three days. I've noted that many boys still cover their privates while bathing, but even a small percent are bathing openly without shame. I'm glad to say that Taylor is one of those boys.
The effects of the food also slightly increase their libido over time. Our security footage shows that Taylor has been masturbating almost every night under his bedsheets. Judging by the angle of his body, it's clear to us that he's stimulating his anus with his fingers while he grinds his pillow. This has been a regular occurrence for the last three nights and is a wonderful sign. Watching him whimper and moan on the CCTV camera hidden in their wall is quite a sight, to say the least.
On a personal note, I would jump at the chance to break Taylor in. Just watching him earlier on the cameras has given me a hard-on that's straining so hard against my pants it might snap my belt. I must not dwell on these thoughts, as we are forbidden from abusing our positions to sleep with the campers. I find this extremely frustrating, as there are times when we ARE allowed to break in our campers. But doing so in the middle of the night with no approval would be hard to explain to my superiors.
Even though Taylor is showing great progress, I cannot say the same for the other campers. Allan and Chen have had no noticeable change in behavior. I should try to remind myself that it's only the first week, and this can take time. Blake, on the other hand, seems to be getting worse. He sneaks out during the night and tries to sow dissent with the other boys. Thankfully, no one he talks to seems to be as panicked as he is about their stay here. He speaks to Allan frequently, but thankfully, Allan doesn't share his views nearly as strongly. I narrow this down to being due to the food lowering his inhibitions.
My troop are as follows:
0 - Allan
1 - Taylor
0 - Chen
0 - Blake
