But there's no road map for being the first trans girl at an all-girls school. And when she tries to join the Sibyls, an old-fashioned Ainsley sisterhood complete with code names and special privileges, she's thrust into the center of a larger argument about what girlhood means and whether the club should exist at all.

She can track them down and show them what's been done to them. Maybe altogether they can put a stop to this merger and figure out how to get their chips removed for good"--
