If you thought Part One of this saga was convoluted, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The former Martin discovers that, even though it got him out of a horrific prison, living as Maria is no cakewalk. Would it be easier if “Maria” wasn’t so femininely attractive?
The introduction of estrogen into Maria’s daily diet argues for the surgery but other complications like being a Catholic pull “her” toward keeping her original anatomy. The people around Maria aren’t helping “her” to make a decision as it seems that each of them has his or her own horse in the race, so to speak. Crossdressing may have put “her” prison term to an end but the competing emotions “she” feels comprise a kind of psychological confinement. What to do, what to do?
