In this world, identity is not fixed — it is chosen, declared, and honored.
Every person has access to the Transid App, a government system where anyone can update their identity. After ten minutes of processing, the change becomes legally binding. The app allows detailed instructions: how someone should be treated, what roles they should be recognized for, or even special requests like “treat me as a stray cat” or “treat me like I starred in a show.” Once updated, the world responds.
Transitioning is free. Physical, mental, social, and prosthetic changes are provided without cost. Transid Aids help people through the process: arranging prosthetics, finding schools, connecting them with families, or setting up training for transprofession identities.
Several systems support this freedom:
MindApp (requested through an Aid) can change skin color, mental ability, pregnancy status, languages spoken, genitals, or body age — and nothing more.
Pluralie is an app for plural systems, both cis and trans. It lets people log which alter is fronting, make profiles for their alters, and share that with others. Many use it to make sure every alter is addressed by their own name, pronouns, and identity, so outsiders don’t confuse them.
T-Network connects transworshippers with transdeities, and also matches transharmful and transharmed people with others who affirm their needs.
VR/AR tools allow people to test out transitions, live in chosen worlds, or ease dysphoria.
Life is structured around recognition. Transfamous people are treated as stars, with meet-and-greets or shows arranged on request. Transschool people attend the grade they identify with, no matter their age. Workplaces and schools are required to honor accommodation requests. Education includes learning about transids from early years — in fifth grade, every student makes a poster about their cis and trans identities.
Social norms reflect this freedom. Stuffed animals and toys are normal to carry at any age. Clothing laws only require genitals to be covered, except in private places that allow otherwise. Consensual cults (fults), consensual abuse (conabuse), and faux fandoms are accepted. Closed cultural and religious practices are open to transids who identify with them, because society sees them as truly belonging. Objectophiles — people who date objects — are recognized as valid.
Community is trusting. If someone borrows something, it’s expected they’ll return it. If it’s food, it’s simply accepted that it won’t come back. Money exists, but it is mostly symbolic. People may use it for structure, but it’s also fine to walk into a store, grab what you need, and walk out.
Families, too, are flexible. Anyone may approach a family and ask to be accepted as biological, adoptive, or foster. If the family agrees, updating the app makes it legally true.
The wider world is just as open. Special flights allow anyone, regardless of age, to move to another country and instantly become a citizen there. Passports cost only five dollars, or the closest equivalent.
Every year ends with Transid Pride Month, capped by a three-day festival. Streets fill with colors, toys, music, and celebration. It is a reminder that here, everyone is who they say they are.
Because in this world, all transids are treated as their identity.
