(horribly informal and unfinished.)

Sub.: Heads up!

Hey, *RHC*...
I've come to realise that I am trans and identify as male, and I would appreciate it if you would treat me as a male from now on.
My preferred name is Callum or Cal-I'll answer to both, as well as *lastname*.
What this would also entail would be that, aside from the obvious name change, is that my preferred pronouns would be male.

I am worried about transphobia from the other residents though and would like to know I have your support and help should anything happen.

As for the rooming situation-although I've told both of my roommates about it and they have said they don't mind me being transgender-legally I am still female [at this stage in my transition I also wouldn't feel comfortable rooming with other guys].
I can't quite think of anything else but this should cover the basics.
But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Facebook or when I come back August 19th.

-Callum *lastname*
And that's about as far as I got.
[some notes: he's had Trans 101, so to speak, so no need to define that.]

"Eventually, I realized that being recognizable as a girl was not the same thing as recognizing myself. In daydreams, I had never pictured myself with a face. It took photographs and mirrors to remind myself of what I looked like, because I honestly couldn’t call up a mental image of myself."
