I liked it, but it broke my heart in the end

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers ahead. As an asexual person who falls on the transgender spectrum, this episode seemed to really appeal to me. I loved that the episode focused on a transgender individual in such a strict society (and my biases were rooting for her the whole time.) Yes, there were bits and pieces that could have been done much better, but at the time it was created this episode was pretty good and risky. The ending, with one day of brainwashing fully swiping away her true identity, hit me pretty hard, though. I hope someday this society evolves past their barbaric ways.
