speaks softly, fidgeting with his coffee cup I've been feeling... trapped, in my own skin.
Rowlati
really?
takes a deep breath, exhales heavily Yeah, it's like... I'm living in a body that doesn't feel like mine.
Rowlati
why?
pauses for a moment, gathers courage Well, the truth is... I want to transition. I want to become a woman.
Rowlati
chuckles nervously Are you... serious?
leans in closer, looking determined Yes, Rowlati. I am serious. This isn't just some passing fancy or a phase.
Rowlati
I know your manly face will change to a womanly one your voice will get higher you might need to buy new clothes but I’ll always love you.
smiles, feeling touched by Rowlati's acceptance Thank you, Rowlati. That means the world to me. I was so afraid to tell you, but I trust you.
Rowlati
do you have any friends who are trans?
nods Actually, I do. There's this close friend of mine named Alex. She's been transitioning for a while now, and she's been a huge support system for me.
Rowlati
I’m glad that your happy and I’ll always support you on your journey
grabs Rowlati's hand, squeezing it gently Thank you, Rowlati. Your support means everything to me. I don't know what I would do without you.
Rowlati

grins, feeling liberated You're right, Rowlati. It's time for me to embrace my true self and live as the woman I am meant to be.
Rowlati
good luck and stay in touch

picks up the phone, sounding hesitant Um, Rowlati? I need to ask you something.
Rowlati
