    • Information about GCS (Formerly TSS) by Lajien

    Hello everyone, Lajien here.

    Any writer who would like to write about GCS (Gender Change Syndrome) please go ahead and send me a copy of your story because I would like to read it.

    I will provide you with some information about the disorder so you can write about it whenever you want.

  • 1) GCS can go two ways, a child can be born a male and become a female due to this disorder and vice-versa.
  • 2) GCS has severe psychological effects. It can cause depression and drive a person to suicide.
  • 3) Because of its severe psychological effect on children, many governments worldwide created harsh laws to protect children with GCS. E.g., Calling a GCS child a freak is punishable by law. It can be a huge fine that can reach $50,000. The person may even be charged with child abuse and verbal abuse is treated the same way.
  • 4) Public testing for GCS is mandatory for children when they reach the age of 10 years old. If positive for GCS, they will be properly treated.
  • 5) The gene responsible for GCS is known as the S gene. The percentage of the S gene determines how quickly the child will change into the opposite gender. If the percentage is 50% or less, the child will go through a program to help them live and deal with their new gender. If it is higher than 50%, the child will usually change very quickly (usually at 10 years old) and is immediately treated as the opposite gender.
  • 6) GCS girls are usually mistaken for girls before birth, though they are born as boys.
  • 7) The changes start in the child from conception.
  • 8) Sometimes the mental transformation starts before the physical transformation, and the child is could be mistaken for a transgender child.
  • 9) GCS children tend to develop sexually more quickly than non GCS children. Girls will go into puberty sooner and are very feminine and pretty. Boys also start puberty sooner and are more muscular and handsome.
  • 10) GCS children often have poor immunity when they are small children until they transform.
  • 11) GCS children often display high intelligence and mental capacity though research hasn’t shown any relationship between the two.
  • 12) Some GCS children can fall into a deep coma which could take three weeks to three months before they recover.
  • 13) GCS changes the child’s chromosomes, which become entirely male or female after their transformation. Science has yet to explain how or why this happens.
  • 14) GCS girls resemble their mothers, and GCS boys resemble their fathers.
  • 15) After the transformation, the child has a stronger body with improved immunity.
  • 16) GCS-Y gender transformations occur in Youths between the age of 10 to 14.
  • 17) GCS-T occurs in Teens between the ages of 15-19
  • 18) GCS-A occurs in Adults aged 20 and over.
  • 19) Research has shown that the ratio of GCS females to GCS males is 5:1
  • 20) Every year the percentage of GCS children is slowly increasing. Now it’s over 20% of children 10-14 years old. Research has not found a cause.
  • 21) GCS teens and adults have a similar percentage at 20%
  • 22) Sexually, GCS youths usually are straight. Boys like girls, girls like boys.
  • 23) GCS teens and adults usually retain the sexuality they formerly had before their transformation, but can also become bisexual in nature.

    About this story.

    Robyn B's picture

    I have enjoyed this story quite a lot. It is set in a contemporary real-life universe that would be great if such attitudes were reflected in our real-life.

    I read many stories that are in quite un-real universes e.g: Whatley and Wolfjess. These are terrific in that the protagonist very often gets what is coming to them. Universes where that reality is quite different from reality.

    It is also refreshing to read near real-life stories such as this one. There are so many to choose from.

    When I read this chapter, it concerned me that your story might come to an end and I thought that I had missed out on something. Reading on I came to understand the desire to allow other writers to contribute to this story-line. This I await with interest.

    Please continue writing this story as your contributions will be seen as cannon and other writers will have to measure up to your writing style.

    That is a huge number of characters! You can't tell the players without a program. Now I have something to refer to when I read further chapters.

    I know...

    I wanted to cover Erinna's life in the most detail. That's how it came out.
