Broken Pot

The Broken Pots were children in the Radical Age who were genetically XY, that is male, but weren born looking like normal females. They had smooth, soft skin, luxuriant hair, large breasts with small, immature nipples, no body hair, and heatrtshaped faces. Many of them became models, actors, or won beauty pageants. However, the did not possess the upper part of the female reproductive system, having short, blind vaginas, and no ovearies; instead they had embryonic 'streak' gonads embedded in their bellies. In about twenty percent of Broken Pots, thes gonads turned cancerous, and typically this was not diagnosed until the fast-growing cancer had metastased to other locations such as the brain or lungs. Initially called Teenage Germplasm Cancer, it was often the only presenting symptoms of these girls, unless they were treated for amenorrhea. Dr Pradip Shankar names the condition Radical Androgen Deficiency Syndrome or RADS. It was also found that these girls often had brothers who suffered from Male Hypertoxic Syndrome, ie they were hanyos.

The aeitology of the syndrome remains obscure, since by the time any progress had been made in describing it, all data on the early years had been protected by Ramdhun
