The Elite ('>10%':???x1-60=??pts) The Elite are transwomen and a number of women who have the genetics to be part of the ruling elite. Those women who are part of this class will mostly be married, although they can only marry a transwoman. (If they marry female, they will both lose this elevated rank, and become parts of the Inner Party, with a loss of privledge.) To get around this, one or both women will try to find a transwoman with a harem, and join it as favored. If only one joined as favored, she will have to convince her husband to marry the other woman into the harem. (Even if she's not 'favored'.) This can and does go awry, and many stories exist despite how the ruling transwomen disdain these stories, where one woman left outside a harem is married by another transwoman and the two are separated. If they choose to be married to one another directly, both can be expected to be reduced to being part of the Inner Party, if both are disowned by their families they become part of The Masses even if they have advanced abilities, with upward mobility only possible if they join the military. No matter their orientation, those who are former military if they retire with honors are made part of the Elite. This was long ago a concession to console the masses.

Women can be 'elevated' and perhaps given the retroviral treatments to become genetically part of the Elite by being married to a transwoman, or by being married into a harem by a transwoman - no matter whom instigated the marriage. (Which can only be done by somebody able to change the mind of the husband.) Harems do cost money, and are only done by those who have the money - although they are a status symbol and preferred by the wealthy as they can be shown off in groups. The military also for army soliders upgrades it's soliders to the 'elite' genotype. (Another way of becoming a elite, join the military and be upgraded.)
