Adventurers plops, ripe for the grabbing

It’d be a spin on those sci-fi thriller movies where the enemy is formless but takes the shape of your greatest nightmares when you look at it. Except this time, the protagonist is trans and the enemy takes the form of their bod pre-transition (deadbody?).

I’d imagine the protagonist is the battlehardy captain of the ship, the typical daring badass of the crew. However, they’ve still got some deep seated identity issues (recently transitioned perhaps?) and they’re truly shaken by what they see in the monster, sending them into a spiral of dysphoria.

I also think it’d take place in a closed environment. Like they’re heading back home after a mission (said mission could be a nice prologue / opening scene to establish characters?) and the monster is trapped in the ship with them. In the end the protagonist literally destroys their dysphoria. Hell yea!!!!

I would write this myself but I don’t know much about the trans experience!
