this is not a piece of interactive fiction, or even really interactive at all. it's a Completely linear narrative that uses some hypertext tricks to good effect.

Like many similar works, this is an attempt to generate empathy by putting the player in the shoes of someone from an oppressed minority, then relating a very painful and very accurate example of how crushing and damaging that oppression is.

It's cathartic to read as a trans person. but I don't know if this kind of project can ever really have the desired effect. The people who truly hate us want us to suffer. They don't experience empathy for us. A TERF would read something like this and probably laugh.

But maybe I'm just too cynical and old.

Five stars for the writing, but again note, this is not a game or even particularly interactive. It's an essay in hypertext form.
