______________________________________
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.
