An Unkindness of Ghosts is a 2017 science fiction novel by Rivers Solomon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On the HSS Matilda, a Generation Ship carrying the remnants of humanity to The Promised Land, technology has disintegrated almost to pre-industrial levels. The decks are arranged according to a strict caste system similar to Antebellum America. Inhabitants of the higher decks live on lavish estates, while on the lower decks, known as the Tarlands, dark-skinned workers suffer horrible abuse and privation.Aster Grey is a doctor from Deck Q. Her expertise and skill, as well as her friendship with the ship's Surgeon General Theophilus Smith, give her far more freedom and social status than most of her fellow Tarlanders. When the Sovereign is poisoned, Aster tries to find out how, in the process unraveling a mystery involving the ship's life-threatening blackouts and the journals of her mother Lune Grey, who cut her own throat the day Aster was born.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ambiguous Gender Identity
 An Unkindness of Ghosts / int_463da046
comment
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Theo's gender identity is ambiguous even to him, since his rigid, dogmatic society doesn't acknowledge transgender identities. However, he deliberately avoids some elements of masculine gender expression, secretly takes testosterone blockers, and outright tells Aster that he's not a man.
