RP advice requested, for a rather... odd... turn of events Options

[Jason Farlander]

Ok.

So a rather strange circumstance has befallen my character in a SR game in which I am currently playing. Long story short: he is going to transform into a woman. I dont really want to go into the events/mechanisms through which this will happen, suffice to say that it will happen rather unexpectedly and that I, as a player, accept that it will happen and am willing to move on.

However

I am at a loss as to how to approach this occuring from an in-character perspective. This game is rather heavy on the roleplaying aspects, and this is a sufficiently important change that I dont think it would be appropriate to just gloss it over. At the same time, I have no fraggin clue how to realistically portray the character's reaction to the change. I simply can not imagine myself in his position.

A little background on the character's personality: He is a rather straightlaced, uptight, and arrogant Hermetic full mage who until somewhat recently worked as a company man for Renraku, and still retains a lot of his corporate tendancies (he likes wearing expensive suits, etc.) After losing his job as a side effect of the Arc Shutdown, he turned to the shadows both to shake off any enemies he might have acquired (and now doesnt have corporate protection against) and because, well, thats what he knows how to do. Since then he has loosened up - a little - but is still generally convinced of his personal superiority to other runners (though he has gained respect for his current teammates, despite their faults).

If any more (specific) info would help you in providing advice to me, I can provide it, but I dont want this post to be so very long that noone reads it. Please, dont bother expressing your incredulity about the change itself, as such comments are in no way helpful to me. But any advice about how to RP this effectively would be very much appreciated.
