00:00What benefit is this? What is he gonna be going through? How can we prevent him from making a

00:17mistake? And that's the parental defense mechanism saying you better stop this before it ruins his

00:24life. That you came to the point in your life where you could begin to express who you were is a very

00:32exciting step but not without consequences sometimes. Is it necessary? Is it necessary for

00:38you to change your name and to go through all this instead of just being feminine? I knew that's not

00:44what you wanted to be and I really didn't want to love what you didn't want to be. My worst fear still

00:53is that some idiots out there in the world will kill you. Is there something I should be doing to

00:59prevent this from happening? Can I keep this from happening? I don't want my son to change.

01:10you're going to be a daughter then you've got to call your mom more because that's what daughters

01:18me on that one when you first started cross-dressing you were ultra-femmy. You know the heavy makeup in the early days?

01:48It just definitely wasn't you. You wore the long wigs, pantyhose and high heels and my faux fur jacket.

01:56I remember hugging you solid, painful birdseed boobs. That would be like the ultimate torture.

02:04I was assuming that this meant that you were a heterosexual woman inside. Now that I understood

02:12that you were you know a lesbian inside I thought we can still make a life with each other.

02:18I see them.

02:20I see them. I see them.

02:21I actually listened to them.

02:22I see them.

02:24I see them.

02:26I see them.

02:28I see them.

02:29This is Steven.

02:40That was Steven.

02:43This is Steven's body.
