Can you help me find this science fiction short story?


It’s about a man who becomes a woman or a woman who becomes a man in order to join the space corps which will involve time travel. He or she then can’t resist going back in time to meet themselves as the opposite sex. They make love and she gets pregnant… and then my memory is hazy. The end is that he or she is his own mum and dad and son or daughter. It’s a crazy story that i’d love to read again. Can you help?

    sounds like “all you Zombies” by Heinlein to me as well

  5. Daniel R Says:

    Yes, this is almost certainly All You Zombies by Robert Heinlein.

    Another (longer) Heinlein story in the same vein is By His Bootstraps.
