Having climbed upstairs Jon closed the door of his room and decided to look on the Internet for more information on the world he had wished for. He opened Wikipedia.
What should I look for first?, he thought, I'll see if fictional characters are affected
He typed in Super Mario Brothers and Princess Peach and up popped a bio:
Princess Peach (????, Pi-chi-hime?) is a character in Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series of video games. She is the princess of the fictitious Mushroom Kingdom, she was born Prince Peachboy(????, Momotaro-ouji?) and was reassigned female at the age of 12. She is often the damsel in distress role within the adventure series.
He typed in Final Fantasy VII and found that Tifa was a boy when she made Cloud Promise her (and that Cloud was quite shocked the first time he seen her new breasts!), that Aerith only became a girl a week before Zack first meets her(although it didn't phase her) and that Yuffie becomes a girl during the wutai section of the game (apparently she has a hissie fit about it, epsecially after she gets kidnapped by don corneo).
What about.... Street Fighter?, he thought.
It turns out that all the Female characters were male to begin with. Chun-Li was a boy when her father was killed. Despite swearing to get revenge She was reassigned almost immediacy afterwards! Cammy was introduced to the series as a male Guile style character, but Capcom felt she would be better as a female character and so it became part of her storyline that Bison reassigned her personally. Sakura was an average Highschool boy until one day she saw RYU fight. So Enthralled by him, she decided to voluntary be reassigned so she could devote herself to him totally.
I'll have to play these games again, he mused.
He decided to look up real women and found that the world did indeed have a woman shortage and that many of the names he searched for came back with nothing. But he did find that Marilyn Monroe, Naomi Campbell and Keira Knightley where all men at one point, but that Joan of Arc and Amelia Aarhart where some of the few true born women.
Wow this worlds crazy!, he thought.
Jon delved further and found that there where men who not only didn't mind the change some even volunteer for it! Following the links he found that in some country's and in some old fashioned family's that the 3rd son and above where automatically taken to be reassigned as girls (sometimes even the 2nd son!).
Looking further he found out about the process itself. It seems that the main part of the change takes only 6 hours in hospital. The body is altered at a genetic level and quickly changes as a result. The penis fall off first as the body become more feminine. Next as the womb rapidly grow inside, the face is reshaped too be more attractive and the breasts start grow. Apparently the breasts take a whole week to grow to full size, so Zoe's, as big as they are ,aren't full size yet...
Jon contemplated this as he got a knock on the door.
