Gender and Sexuality

The story "Day Million" talks about what the future is going to be like for the human race. Its not a regular love story because it talks about a "girl" who really isn't a girl because she's actually a boy and a boy who really isn't a boy because he's a 187 years old. Not to mention that they also don't look like a boy or a girl would. The female looks like an avatar that lives underwater and the guy looks like a green or blue Arnold Schwartzenegger with 7 fingers. They also don't make love like a normal couple would. The female was actually a male but no one could tell unless you really went into her anatomy.  

The story of "When It Changed" talks about a society of women that first have an encounter with men. It's sort of weird that there's no need for men for women to reproduce. Where a man and his wife and children go off into a place where there haven't been men for six hundred years. The women talk about how rough and heavy these men are and they have weird customs like shaking hands. I think it's odd yet, interesting how women have learned to survive and reproduce without men.
