A Transgender Woman on the Internet, Crying is a hyper-pop rave war that colourfully collides love, identity, furries and the transformative power of the trans community.
Avis O’Hara (@theDIYDoll) is the most fabulous and famous trans influencer on the internet. Cutting-edge, left-tube vlogger Corrin Verbeck has had enough. Determined to expose Avis as a comphet, bio-essentialist, TERF-lite traitor, Corrin pretends to befriend her – but the plan backfires spectacularly.
What ensues is all-out transgender cyber warfare as two trans femmes battle to uncover the person behind the internet discourse. But in the chaotic, nuance-free world of the internet, can love possibly triumph over heartbreak, rage and worst of all… crying?
