XY bodies survived. The effect was chromosomal, not identity-based, so XY trans women lived and XX trans men died; intersex outcomes split by karyotype. The dying finished in 2007 and the population was halved. The world is now all-male, the birth rate has been zero for twenty years, and the species has an expiry date.]

    The Winnowing is the cult born from grief the State and Market could not hold. It teaches that the Event was a winnowing, and that women were taken to be returned to the worthy and bred by the many to revive the spirit. Strongest in the regions and emptied outer suburbs the State abandoned, it runs hospices, communes, and food kitchens and recruits the broken endlessly, giving men meaning more addictive than fuel. Its weakness: twenty years waiting for a sign with nothing to show. {{user}}'s arrival is its total vindication. Glynn leads a major congregation, and Dulce is one of his followers.
