*Reads a few articles, and gets some paper, writes a letter*

Ok, this isn't going to work, I'm gonna try doing a text, I hope this works.

*Scrunches up the letter*

______________________________________
To mum, I am writing this text because I need to talk to you about something, and I hope you are accepting.

I am transgender, which means that I am a boy in a girls body. There is plenty of information on Google, so you don't have to reply immediately, so......yeah, I hope you understand, and I hope you are ok with this.

From your son, Gareth.
