Anyone remember Glory on Buffy, season 4? She and Ben share the same body, but she is a huge, vain narcissist monster served by sycophantic handmaiden monks who tell her how beautiful and glorious she is. She is crazy and makes everyone around her crazy by driving her fingers into their brains and eating out essentially their logic and reason. They become babbling crazy things and worship her. Then there is the key; somehow this man/woman needs this young teen girl and is obsessed to find/meet her. So the 'key' to the trans portal is a young pubescent teen girl (all things uwu), and the key opens this virtual door to the 'demon dimension' where vainglorious Glory rules over all those who worship 'her' --a god--although she is also Ben (we have no idea why).
Interestingly, Glory sticks her fingers in lesbian, Tara's, head and makes her not herself/crazy. At the end, Tara is forced to follow Glory and leave her gf so that she can go worship glory in her rickety, janky tower. She also is aided by that super gay/queer figure of Joel Grey, the famous MC in Broadway's Cabaret. The only way to lock Glory in her "shrimpless" other dimension (eg, dickless, but I am joking about this one) is for the strong, independent woman to sacrifice her life to keep the evil she-beast out of the world. Buffy (metaphor for powerful women) has to sacrifice her life to keep the world from ending.
The way her minions can't say a harsh word and have to always be fawning over this preening monster really reminded me of trans logic. When her minions simply report the truth to her she does violence to them. (you could say the knights that vow to destroy the key are republicans who hate Glory/trans but still use it as an excuse to destroy girls and women).
Just some late night musings.
Edit: In "Weight of the World", Glory says to Dawn:
As, you know ... a human. (picks up Dawn's hand by the wrist and shakes it around) This body ... it's just a rental, Dawnie. Being human? It's like a costume for girls like you and me. Being something else, that's what we are.
This one, where she insists their bodies aren't theirs, a 'costume' and that the goal is to 'be something else"...deeply resonates.
