After the chaotic 20s and the confusing results of the 2032 Olympic Games. With the increasing trend of males transitioning to females. It was agreed at a 2034 meeting of major international forums to legislate Trans as a third gender.
The tedious but necessary work of collating records from medical, insurance, workplace, educational, and sundry institutions had begun by 2035.
Infrastructure creation and renewal is the major investment driver. Economic models are irrevocably tied to growth for survival. The introduction of the third gender provided massive infrastructure build and refurbishment opportunities across the globe.
There was pushback from some traditionalists, mainly men, to some of the proposals that were being put forward during 'The Change'. These particularly concerned refurbished men's toilet blocks which were being considered for renovation across the EU, USA, India, and Southeast Asia.
Of further concern to men was a new political dynamic that had been forced into existence to facilitate this social rearrangement. Boards and Committees were being spilled to accommodate Trans representation.
Those that were marginally controlled by heterosexual men were in panic mode. A mandatory 15% Trans representation rule has been installed for any organization seeking new contracts. The Legislation stated men would cede their seats to incoming Trans representatives.
Men were being replaced as a consequence of their own shrinking masculinity. Laughingly referred to in Woman's groups as "The Shrinkage". Projections were that by 2064 at least 15% of the world population would be Trans. It was right to install that demographic breakdown at the decision-making level now.
The wedged male minority argued in every jurisdiction that as most trans were previously men this would diminish men's representation further. It was agreed by the Female Full Bench of the Supreme Court that this was right. It did. The case was closed. Men had merely sought clarification. They got it.
It was a massive own goal by male lawyers not to argue "Unfairly diminish" in their submission.
