Fragile Y Syndrome

Shortly after the population collectively experienced the Quantum Realignment Phenomenon, keen observers noticed that that there were few boys being born.  What began as mild oddity soon grew into full-blown alarm as scientists probed the issue.  They discovered that the creep had shaken the fundamental genetic makeup of humanity. The Y Chromosome was no longer existent in the vast majority of male sex cells.  Though reproduction was still possible, newborns after G-Day were nearly always female. Though the reason for this anomaly was never fully understood, the gender imbalance became undeniable. Concerned researchers named this unexplained malady "Fragile Y Syndrome." 
Realizing mankind faced inevitable extinction if this trend persisted, quasi-governmental Thayer Corp established an organization named Y Control tasked with combating Fragile Y. Though their methods were controversial, Y Control was largely successful in perpetuating the birth of males throughout the new society. The population's growing unease about Fragile Y had been mostly assuaged by the mid 2030s.
A few men were unaffected by Fragile Y. These men (called carriers) were not easily spotted. Typically, they were only identified after an unregistered male pregnancy was discovered. It was the mandated responsibility of all physicians to report such pregnancies to Y Control (no matter their personal opinions on the organization). Y Control agents then ascertained the identity and location of the father and sent a team for him. Once located, the carrier was collected and drafted into the much-debated Repopulation program.
