“So…are we all becoming mermaids?” inquired John as he looked at his father and two younger twin brothers. “Are we becoming women…or is that just a saying?”
“For the most part it is just a saying.” Stated the Doctor “Mermaids is a general term for merpeople as a whole, there are male merman because without them there would be next to no way a species could live. However, that being said…over 80% of those who become merpeople are either women or become women. The race is so heavily female that it is common to go by the term Mermaid, same sex couples are common and males are rare but highly prized. It isn't uncommon for a merman to have 3 or 4 wives, however women run the society as a whole.”
All the men gulped as the doctor opened their files and looked down.
“However…be it either fate or luck for the most part you all beat those odds.” Said the Doctor as everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then they noticed that the doctor said for the most part.
“So one of us is changing genders?” inquired Mike as the doctor nodded before he went on.
