Simply put, the world didn’t need more people in it. The fad of going childless had turned into something of a vague cultural phenomenon worldwide except for a few pockets of religious holdouts and, except for those same holdouts, the attitude towards sex had shifted almost entirely to its being just a fun thing to do with your body, not procreation.
This attitude manifested itself in different ways in different places but at Saint Holly’s Catholic Girls College it manifested simply as making it mandatory for all incoming students to have their vaginas gendershaped into a penis. The philosophy being that it was an acceptable and effective form of birth control even if it was spiritually very questionable. Saint Holly’s policy of keeping the gendershaping requirement a semi secret from new students until a little before they arrived was also questionable but they were prestigious enough to get away with it.
