Information about TSS by Lajien
Hello everyone, Lajien here. As you might have guessed TransSexual Syndrome (aka. TSS) is not fully my creation, it just came as an idea after reading many fictional stories about diseases and disorders that affect gender.
Any writer who would like to write about TSS please go ahead, but send me a copy of your story because I would like to read it.
I will be providing you with some information about the disorder so you can write about it whenever you want.
1) TSS can go two ways, a child can be born a male and become a female due to this disorder and vice-versa.
2) TSS has severe psychological effects. It can cause depression and drive a person to suicide.
3) Because of its severe psychological effect on children, many governments around the world created harsh laws to protect children with TSS. E.g., Calling a TSS child a freak is punishable by law. It can be a very large fine that can reach $50,000. The person may even be charged with child abuse and verbal abuse is treated the same way.
4) Public testing for TSS is mandatory for children when they reach the age of 10 years old, so they can be properly treated if they have TSS.
5) The gene responsible for TSS is known as the S gene. The percentage of the S gene determines how quickly the child will change into the opposite gender. If the percentage is 50% or less, the child will go through a program to help them live and deal with their new gender. If it is higher than 50% the child will usually change quickly (usually at 10 years old) and is treated as the opposite gender immediately.
6) TSS girls are usually mistaken for girls before birth, though they are born as boys.
7) The changes start in the child from conception.
8) Sometimes the mental transformation starts before the physical transformation, and the child is could be mistaken for a transgender child.
9) TSS children tend to develop sexually more quickly than non TSS children. Girls will go into puberty sooner and are very feminine and pretty. Boys also start puberty sooner and are more muscular and handsome.
10) TSS children often have a poor immunity when they are small children until they transform.
11) TSS children often display high intelligence and mental capacity though research hasn’t shown any relationship between the two.
12) Some TSS children can fall into a deep coma which could take three weeks to three months before they recover.
13) TSS changes the child’s chromosomes and they are fully male or female after their transformation. Science has yet to explain how or why this happens.
14) TSS girls resemble their mothers, and TSS boys resemble their fathers.
15) After the transformation is complete, the child has a stronger body with improved immunity.
16) TSS gender transformations take place between the age of 10 to 14.
17) No TSS cases were reported after a child reaches the age of 15.
18) Research has shown that the ratio of TSS girls to TSS boys is 5:1
