"Get a mocha-frappa-bullsh*t that I LOVE" - Gendered by T.C. Morgan

Chasity and Andréa delve into what seems to be a utopia where gender doesn't exist until you're 16... but is it? T.C. Morgan's "Gendered" explores what might happen if humans modified themselves to birth sexless "slates" who are then given a test that reveals their gender. And how it might all go terribly wrong.
