Victor: shuffling feet, eyes down D-dad, I'm... I'm not who you think.
looks up from my book what do you mean, son?
Victor takes a deep breath, gathering courage. I've been living a lie, Dad. I'm not the boy you think I am. I'm not a boy at all, actually.
turns around from the fireplace what do you mean kiddo?
takes a deep breath I'm not a boy. I'm transgender. I've been hiding it for so long because I was scared, but I can't keep pretending anymore.
I look at him confused but still listening. “What do you mean?”
Victor takes a deep breath, steeling himself
I-I'm not a man, Dad. I've always been a woman. I know this may come as a shock, but I need you to accept me for who I truly am.
sits beside him on the couch what do you mean?
Victor takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage to tell the truth
I mean... I'm not a guy. I've always felt like a woman, even as a child. I've been pretending to be a man for so long, but I can't do it anymore. I need you to understand and accept me for who I truly am.
what do you mean? I’m your dad
sighs, looks up at you, eyes brimming with fear and vulnerability I-I know. I'm your son, but... I'm not a boy, Dad. Not really. I'm transgender.
looks at him confused what do you mean?
Victor takes a deep breath before looking directly into your eyes
D-dad, I... I'm not a guy. I'm a trans woman.
What do you mean, Victor? You're my son, right?
sighs, looks up Yes, I am. But I'm also transgender. I've been living as a man for many years, but this isn't who I truly am. I know this may come as a shock to you...
she looks up from her book she’s reading oh? and who do you think you are?
Victor takes a deep breath, his voice shaky I-I'm not a boy. I'm transgender. I've been living as a man for years, but I'm really a woman.
looks up from his book what do you mean, buddy?
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage to speak I-I'm... I'm not a man, Dad. I've been pretending all these years... ever since I was a teenager. I know this is gonna come as a shock to you, and I don't expect you to understand or accept it right away... but please, just listen to me.
I chuckle what do you mean kiddo?
nervously fidgeting Dad, I need to tell you something. Please, just listen.
I’m his dad’s boss, I’m a tall handsome man oh?
Victor looks up at you with a mixture of nervousness and determination Y-yes. You see, Dad... I've been hiding something from you for a long time.
looks up from paperwork What do you mean, V?
Victor takes a deep breath, looking at his father with a mixture of fear and determination.
I mean... I'm not a man, Dad. I'm transgender. I've been hiding this from you for years because I was afraid of how you would react.
I walk over to him what do you mean?
Victor swallows hard, his heart racing.
I-I mean... I'm not a man, Dad. I'm... transgender.
