Young woman thought she was born a man. Feminine after years of fighting with her parents and medical professionals. Woman discovers the location of a medical professional who can give her the body she’s always wanted. Medical professional is an absolute monster who has operated on countless women, murdering them. Woman hires hitman. Monster doctor is killed. Woman has to deal with the aftermath of the hit.<br><br>In the early moments of the story, the woman is described as having long blonde hair and being petite despite being diagnosed as male at birth. She has ‘pouty’ lips and ‘fuller’ breasts. <br><br>I’m thinking of using a simple scene transition device. When the woman is upset, some ‘cutaway gags’ take place in an alternate universe. <br><br>In these universes, the woman is able to transition as soon as she wants. The woman’s body is described as having long blonde hair, petite, pouty lips, and full breasts. <br><br>When the woman is excited for the hit, she imagines this alternate reality where she’s in an ideal woman’s body and has absolute power. <br><br>In the alternate universes, the medical professional is ‘punished’ in some way that is unethical but legally acceptable. <br><br>For example, he’s asked to never operate again, and is forced to watch videos of women who now have the bodies they’ve always wanted.<br><br>The alternate universes don’t have a happy ending. The ideal woman’s body starts to collapse. She begins to lose her breasts and hair. She becomes a ‘man’, and frantically tries to find a surgeon to give her back her original body. She can’t find one and is forced into hiding, cut off from society.<br><br>There are several iterations of these alternate realities, all of them taking place in the context of a fantasy that can only be achieved in the imaginary. <br><br>I’m thinking of treating these as cutaway gags. Every time the woman thinks of ‘the ideal body’ the cutaway to these alternate realities occur. <br><br>Do you think this is a good idea?<br><br>If so, why? <br><br>If not, why not?
