Train Spotting is a new fiction series focusing on imagined accounts of real patrons of the New York City subway. Kayleigh Roberts is on her journalism residency in New York and the stories are based on her experiences people watching/daydreaming on the train.

There are some people whose genders are indeterminable. At least, there are those whose gender is indeterminable using the polite method, in which one just knows by looking "that is a man" or "that is a woman" or even "that is a man dressed as a woman." We humans, we like to be mysterious. We like people to look at us and wonder, but we want them to wonder things like "Where did she get that beautiful scarf?" and possibly, "Wow, is that bulge in his pants what I think it is?"

"Hmm...man or woman? I don't know," is not one of these things.
