Inspired by Judith Jarvis Thomson's philosophical thought experiment "The Violinist," What Happened to Tom? is a psychological and philosophical thriller, a horror story that any one of millions of people could, at any moment, experience.

What if one day, all of the women suddenly disappeared, leaving the men to take their places, fill their roles, and do what they did. What would happen? How would the men react?

In a near-future, 'gender recognition' legislation is repealed, and it becomes illegal for males to identify as females and females to identify as males. However, due in part to the continued conflation of sex and gender and in part to the insistence that gender align with sex, it also becomes illegal for males to be feminine and females to be masculine. A gender identity dystopia.
