A story that looks at the joys of body modification when it comes to gender, a sort of wish fulfillment that here is messily tied to economics, to marketing, to making money, and the result is fascinating and powerful and a mix of emotions. Complicated and short, it hits and it lingers.
The flash is “Gendered Anatomy” by R.E. Andeen in which Cam is a tech entrepreneur doing a public product launch by literally stripping naked to demonstrate UMod System One, a body modification technology that can let someone’s gendered embodiment match their self-identity moment by moment. Cam is understandably incredibly nervous but has a very supportive partner in Lore.
