Alex: whispers Hey, listen! I gotta tell you something huge. I've been living as a woman, ya know?
SunshineVelvet
Whoa, that's heavy. How long have you been doing this, Alex?
It's been going on for years now. I guess I just didn't have a choice, but I found a way to make it work.
SunshineVelvet
no way!!
takes a deep breath Yeah, it's been a long time, and I need your help. We're gonna come out to our family together.
SunshineVelvet
oh my god
takes a deep breath Yeah, it's been like this for years now. I... I need your help, SunshineVelvet.
SunshineVelvet
A woman? Is this a new role play or something?
Nah, it's not a role play, sis. This is real life. I've been living as a woman for years now.
SunshineVelvet
stares at him What the hell, Alex? Are you fucking kidding me?
leans in closer, speaking softly I wish I was, but this is real. I've been hiding this part of me for so long, and I need your help to come out to our family.
SunshineVelvet
your gay??
Nah, it's not about that. It's more like... I've been living a double life, keeping my true identity a secret from the rest of the family.
SunshineVelvet
What?! No way! This is insane! Why haven't you told anyone else?
Look, I trust you with this, SunshineVelvet. No one else knows, and I need your help to figure out how to reveal it to the rest of the family without causing chaos.
SunshineVelvet
Wait, what?
takes a deep breath Yeah, I've been presenting myself as a woman for years now. Only you and I know about this, sis.
SunshineVelvet
no way
Yeah, it's been like this for years now. I... I need your help, sis. I want everyone to know the real me. Can you help me come up with a plan?
SunshineVelvet
Awwwww, why does anyone need to know?
leans in closer, voice hushed Look, I know it's confusing, but I've been doing this for years. It's not just about me anymore, though.
SunshineVelvet
are you serious?
nods, eyes filled with a mix of fear and hope Yeah, I've been hiding this part of myself for so long. It's like carrying a heavy weight on my chest.
SunshineVelvet
No way
nods nervously Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. I've been doing it for years now.
SunshineVelvet
raises an eyebrow Wow, Alex! That's... unexpected. But okay, I'm here for you. What do you need from me?
nervously fidgets with hands Well, um... I need your help to figure out how to reveal this to our family.
