Plot
A young lady, Melanie, is a victim of religious abuse by her conservative christian parents in Clayton, Georgia. The parents frequently whip her with a wooden spoon, brainwash her into the Christian purity movement and keep her “feminine“ by not teaching her science, math, or anything ”masculine” at all. Melanie, while in car with her parents to the local grocery store, end up in a car accident and Melanie is the only survivor. Melanie is taken to a filthy, germ filled foster home with no bed to sleep in.

Melanie goes through intensive academic training and therapy at the foster home with all the other kids, luckily, which has insurance paying for it. Melanie shows off her true colors as a masculine, asexual, NB individual who befriends the other children. She changes her pronouns to gender neutral they/their/them.

Howeve, as Melanie and their friends enjoy planting trees to donate to a nursery, on the news there is a report of global overpopulation reaching 8 billion.
