Vinyl Scratch doesn't like how she looks, she looks... feminine. That doesn't sit right, but how can she get past her nerves and actually look how she feels she should?
I have not even read this yet, just commenting early to say that this summary sounds like it's going to be right up my alley. EDIT: Yeah, gender is crazy complicated, as is sexual dysphoria ... I really feel for Vinyl, I've got a friend who's in a similar state of confusion. The idea of using small hypnotic suggestions to help with that is very intriguing. Though my gender is totally male and fairly stable, unlike (it seems) Vinyl's, there was plenty in the story that rang true to my own experience, like the relief and joy at his manecut, his masculine, and after being hypnotized into forgetting those doubts about his gender. I really appreciate how you're exploring Cheerilee's character; she doesn't get enough attention in my book, and I've long found her intriguing. Using this relationship to explore her sexuality while Vinyl explores his identity could be very helpful.
