There are a couple of thoughts, you could go paranormal, since he is a ghost hunter. He could encounter a spirit that torments him by challenging his gender identity just because it knows it is a source of such childhood trauma. If you wanted to go disturbing, it could be a spirit that is sexually assaultive. There is an old 80s movie called The Entity about a woman experiencing that. It's still the scariest movie for me. Having a male in that role would be a unique approach I haven't seen. Just be careful if you were to head down that path. Sexual content may deter a reader immediately and there is heighten sensitivity in portraying GLBT sexuality as negative or deviant and may cause some to be offended. If written properly, I think it could be done with a very interesting potential end product
