Short description

I didn't care for the fact that the genetic manipulation to save the human race, limited my options of a loving relationship. You see, I am in love with someone fe/male like me, but there was no chance that such a relationship was possible. Or was there?

Extended description

Perfection. How I hated that word although it described me perfectly. That it also described more than half of the rest of the population didn't bother me in the slightest.
I grew up knowing that my future had an added uncertainty that many other people didn't have: my gender. Neither male nor female and with my thirtieth birthday looming, my life was in drastic need of something beyond the potential I was born with.
I don't care much for the fact that the genetic manipulation long ago to save the human race on Earth, had limited my options of a loving relationship.
You see, I am in love with someone fe/male like me, and there was no chance that such a relationship was possible. Or was there?

Review by: Shari Broyer on Aug. 17, 2012 : star star star
I am aware that this story was written in only six days. Keeping that in mind, I will say that it has promise, but it needs more work. There were "holes" in it for me such as: Cri-why h/she is so despondent is not adequately explained (I had to "guess" that it is because h/she can no longer transform). And the "usual tirade" h/she would seemingly launch into isn't explained, either. Also, the whole DNA manipulation thing doesn't sit right. Why make hermaphroditic, "perfect" people and then require them to transform in order to procreate? Finally, there were too many distracting errors in verb tense and in language usage for me to fully enjoy. I loved the sexual imagery though; it was very steamy. If the original premise (the fe/male thing) was further explored and more satisfyingly explained, this story could be developed into something quite extraordinary.
