Title: A Shift of Shadows
Recently commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, Daniel Stevens, had always been rigid, rule-bound, and fiercely dedicated. Today, however, his neatly ironed military fatigues felt peculiarly unfamiliar, cushioning curves where there once were lean, muscular lines. Those fatigues now fashioned on him were not the ones he avowed allegiance in, but ones tailored for the female form. It was as though reality itself had shifted, even his long, cascading cinnabar hair, previously a trim cut - an adherence to regulation - was bizarrely out of place.
Daniel's hand shook as he glanced down at his credentials: a driver's license, military service card, and social security. Only, it wasn’t Daniel Stevens staring back—it was Danielle. Instead of the stern features that always demanded respect, the softer feminine features looked up, the gender marker blatantly obvious - 'F'. Was she hallucinating?
Yet, looking back up, the figure mirrored in the polished tabletop wasn't Daniel. In place of the man, a female field commander of same age and rank stood. Like her image bearing documents, she too was dressed in female service fatigues.
Interestingly, no one seemed alarmed by this transformation, save for Danielle herself. No one else so much as blinked an eye. For all intents and purposes, they had always known her as Lieutenant Danielle Stevens. An odd feeling of discomfort settled deep within her as she navigated a sea of familiarity that wasn't her own.
Her mind raced, trying to align these new revelations, an attempt that proved futile when the masculine title of her previous identity melded into the feminine without her consent. "Danielle," she heard herself say, each syllable sounding foreign in her own voice, an unnatural feminine lilt replacing the firm masculine tone she once possessed.
Desperate to revert to his former state, Danielle tried to call upon the lost masculinity inside her. To walk with the confident, broad-shouldered stride Daniel always had, to speak with the deep, commanding voice he'd spent years cultivating. But the attempts were in vain. She moved with an innate feminine grace, words flowing with a soft-spoken elegance. It was as though Daniel’s memories were shadows flickering in a maze of mirrors, unreachable, morphing, reshaping into Danielle.
Soon, Danielle discovered an even more disorienting shift: her desires had been traded. A deep blush spread across her cheeks as she caught herself admiring the chiseled features of a fellow officer, the same man whom Daniel had considered a brother-in-arms. The sudden realization hit her with the force of a bullet - she was attracted to men.
Danielle challenged herself, replaying fragments of her past: her dated love interests, all female, the times she felt butterflies around them. However, those images now felt distant, mere echoes woven into a tapestry of a life that was no longer hers. Cloaked in an armor of tenacity, she fought against the currents of this newfound reality but eventually found herself surrendering.
Caught in this bewildering scenario, Danielle's old reality became a mere shadow, a phantom of what it once was. This new world had ingrained in her a feminine identity, one she didn't choose, and it was pulling her strings with relentless force. From soldier and brother-in-arms, Danielle transitioned to a strict and stern lady lieutenant. As she was consistently reminded of the discrepancy between memory and existence, the only path Danielle had left was to adapt, to merge with Danielle.
But she was a military officer above all. No matter her appearance, no matter her gender, she would adapt and overcome. After all, it's what Lieutenant Danielle Stevens, and her predecessor, Daniel, was trained to do.

Prompt: newly commissioned military 2nd lieutenant transformed from a man into a woman. Reality itself starts shifting to accommodate. The military fatigues adjust to her now female body that has long hair and breasts. Now wearing female service fatigues she relies that only she has changed. Her drivers license , her military service card, and social security all show the female version with female marked under the gender. She also now relies that everyone around her only remembers her as a female with no one besides herself remembering she used to be a man. A mental shift happens were his former male name shifts to the feminine one. She is forced to only say her female name and use female pronouns. Tries to resist this but fails. She also relies that her sexuality has shifted from liking woman to now only having eyes for men. Tries to fight this change but is forced to give in. she is also forced to walk, talk, and act like a female now being unable to replicate her old male behavior.
