The comic followed character Ryan Hawke and, to a lesser extent, his friend Brian Parker after the two are experimented on by a mysterious group of scientists and wake up female. Brian learns shortly afterward that he can change back and forth as he pleases but Ryan cannot.

Ryan continues to go to school using a false identity (his cousin Rachel, who lost her house in California) and learns about how different life is as a girl.

Despite both Ryan and Brian being TG'd, Ryan always seems to get the worst of it (feeling out of place in his body, getting hit on by guys...) while Brian used his changing ability to get the girly advantages (sneaking into the girl's bathroom, using his girl half to become a supermodel...). Ryan also ends up being followed by a kid named William out to prove "Rachel" was Ryan cross-dressing. This would've been the focus of the seventh and final (originally meant to be penultimate) chapter, "Gods".

Despite having a very loyal fan base (many of whom can still be found doing fan art and drawing the un-drawn comics), this comic has also been famous for receiving harsh criticisms. This is especially true when the comic underwent [[Cerebus Syndrome]].

The comic was ultimately unfinished and the vast majority of plot points were never resolved. The main website was taken down, but many of the comic strips have since been uploaded to the RayneShikama's [http://rayneshikama.deviantart.com/gallery/#Abstract-Gender\]

* [[The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body]]: Towards the end of the comic (in pages only found in script and fan-art form on [[~~DeviantART~~]]) it is shown that the secret organization behind the changes can also alter people's minds, including (supposedly) making Ryan attracted to boys and wiping out a morphed boy's personality entirely.
