Frank has been demoted to girl. After a life committing petty crimes and reveling in rebellion, the state has decided he no longer deserves male status and must attend Re-Form school, where he will reshaped into a docile and subservient female.
This PG story features mental and physical gender changes, age regression, dominance and bad boy to good girl themes.
This is a rather strange book. It takes place in an alternative reality/future? where there is total male control and women are absolutely second class citizens. Any male that is a trouble maker or is not 'male' enough stands trial. If convicted, that person is put through what amounts to a brain-washing program where they dress in female clothes and take classes in home making, sewing, fashion and others like those.
There are set into three levels, the first level requiring the boys to wear pink dresses, bunny slippers, etc. There is also a thing like prisons where a person falls totally under control of another (not voluntarily.)
Frank is the main character who gets sentenced to the process. His own father had gone through the same thing and now dresses in women's clothing and cries a lot. Frank is given the name Sabrina. His roommate is given the name Trish and Trish attempts to escape.
When a person graduates they go into an occupation basically reserved for women.
The process is not transgendered, though. The boys (and men?) do not appear to have SRS and thus become cross-dressers with a female persona. There's some other very odd things that happen.
It's a very atypical book of this nature since the males are not actually physically converted to females. It's a hard book to rate.
Compares to Brave New World in its sense of dispair
Why would anybody knowingly read anything so utterly depressing ... arrg ! After reading 5 or 6 of TG Cooper's novellas I will never read another without reading every single review ... this author's world-view is just too damn BLACK. So depressing.
