Yeah that is ultimately why I made the minor shift idea. I feel like Great Shift always causes you to write about the craziness of the world, where the Minor Shift becomes more about the few who are affected by it and how they handle being in a body that doesn't really reflect who they feel they are. It's really a writing choice in the end. But I enjoy both! Just wanted to have some flexibility.
I'll also add that the Minor Shift is more about how these people are suddenly misfit (usually) between their inside and outside and how they likely have to communicate that to others on a regular basis. The Great Shift is interesting because it makes the whole world start to question whether someone is "actually" a woman, black, white, etc. (Which of course are all just socially constructed anyway :P )
Absolutely loved it!

Thanks you!
DeleteI like the idea of a "minor" shift better than the great shift. I think the GS would plunge the world into chaos.
