William and Julian lived in the boring, conservative, flat, mid-section of the United States called Kansas. They were “friends with benefits” who were about to graduate from High School. Socially they did not fit in with the traditional cliques but they fit well with each other. They would do ANYTHING to get away from Kansas including joining a unique Fraternity-Sorority based in exciting Southern California. It was rumored that they were two of those ‘sensitive’ boys you read about.

That “anything” requirement was their participation in a Gender-Modification Hormone Therapy (GMHT) program. It could be argued that the program was more of a re-alignment than a modification.
