Title: "Transcending Identity on the Thin Blue Line"
0 Points
0
Under the harsh fluorescent lights of the SWAT headquarters, Officer Ryan Abraham felt a peculiar chill descend on him. A flickering sensation coursed through him, like a television on the fritz - followed by disorientation. Suddenly everything felt starkly wrong. He caught a glimpse of himself in the polished metal locker door but recoiling in disbelief at the image reflected back. In place of his broad shoulders and muscled arms was a lean, and unexpectedly feminine figure.
Ryan’s uniform, previously tailored at the seams for a six-foot masculine build, tightened and adjusted itself chase the contours of a woman’s form. His heavy-duty bulletproof vest snugly fit his newly found chest, and the stiffness of the pants adjusted itself, taking on an ergonomic design that hugged her hips and waist comfortably. His helmet reduced its one-size-fits-all rigidity, hugging closer to the skull, readjusting the size for the smaller female frame. The goggles, previously too large and intrusive, rearranged themselves to her softer, smaller features.
Ryan looked at his name tag where it read aloud, "Ryan Abraham". Only it didn't read Ryan anymore. It read "Rian Abraham," the female equivalent instead.
Rian. That's who she was, now. She used this female pronoun on herself reflexively, sweeping away any previous memory of being a man. Every fiber in her existence, every droplet of memory, screeched with the woman she'd become. An immutable transition. She was one of the first women, if not the first, on the SWAT team.
Her colleagues, who remembered her as always being a woman, stared at her transition without surprise. They were accustomed to her presence, her behavior. They had always viewed her as a woman, her leadership as a woman, her camaraderie as a woman.
Don, her partner, looked her way. "Rian, the briefing’s about to start," he said. His words fell into the silence, bombshells of realization for Rian. He didn’t see anything disconcerting, nothing abnormal. To him, Rian was always Rian.
The dynamics in the team remained as it always had been. Rian’s personality hadn't changed - she was still a relentless, fiercely determined officer, respected among her teammates. She still held her inherent knack for tactical planning and precision, only now as an unprecedented woman in the male-dominated world of swat.
Earning her place as the first woman officer in SWAT had its challenges, but for Rian, who remembered being a man in her past life, the respect she received and the camaraderie she fostered felt oddly satisfying, a testament to her abilities as an officer regardless of her gender.
Rian, previously Ryan, led on, her grappling hooks of confusion clinging on the edges, while her newfound resolve pushed her to achieve. She was a trailblazer, an anomaly, the first of her kind. She had been thrown into a new world, expected to wear the badge of her gender with pride, and she did.
He was Ryan. She is Rian. A shift of a single letter that upended a universe yet changed next to nothing amid the grueling and intense world of the Special Weapons and Tactics team.
