contents It is known that a two-dimensional bosonic theory with a non-anomalous $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry can be fermionized. Recent work shows that if the bosonic theory also has non-anomalous time-reversal symmetry, fermionization extends to non-orientable surfaces and yields a fermionic theory that depends on a $\mathrm{Pin}^-$ structure. Besides fermionization, one can define various topological manipulations, such as gauging and stacking invertible phases, which together generate a web of dualities. We prove that their group structure is the dihedral group $D_8$ of order 16. Furthermore, we systematically investigate the web from two perspectives: Symmetry TFT and actions on sectors of the $S^1$ Hilbert space.
