There are just times when you have to congratulate a writer for taking such a logical step that you cannot help but wonder why nobody really has gone there before.
Stuart Crowther’s Gearstick looks at life in which women have been banned, to show femininity a crime, to be born female either sees you destroyed or having a state enforced gender reassignment. Gearstick takes the idea that that too be born a woman is not just seen as second class but an evil in which to be eradicated and in which if you are a woman who has somehow got passed all the checks can see you hiding your true nature, especially hard when you are a Lesbian.
