Sherlock texts

Coming out

Inspired by "Coming out as transgender to my sisters in-law" by Jammidodger. You don't have to have watched the video to understand what's going on here but I think you should watch it because it's really wholesome. These aren't quite texts, it's more dialogue as Rosie is about 5 years old. This one is kinda a long one.

Hey, kiddo - SH

Hello, papa - Rosie

We need to talk to you about something - JW

I didn't do anything - Rosie

You're not in trouble - SH

Okay - Rosie

What are the differences between me and dad? - SH

Dad has grey hair and you have brown hair - Rosie

Exactly, well done - JW

Any other differences? - SH

Papa is really tall but dad is really small - Rosie

I guess, dad is really small - SH

Really, Sherlock? - JW

What? I'm just agreeing with her - SH

Papa is more cuddly than dad - Rosie

That's right, kiddo - SH

Am I not cuddly? - JW

Not really - Rosie

But you're both really smart - Rosie

Well, you're the smartest out of us all - JW

Even smarter than papa? - Rosie

Even smarter than papa - JW

Now, we need to tell you something so you need to be listening really well, okay? - SH

Okay - Rosie

When dad was born, the doctors looked at him and said he was a boy and he grew up to be a man - SH

But when I was born, the doctors looked at me and thought I was a girl - SH

But you're not a girl - Rosie

Correct but when I was growing up people saw me as a girl so I was put in dresses and skirts for a while - SH

You in a dress sounds really funny - Rosie

I agree - JW

Eventhough, everyone thought I was a girl, I always knew that I was a boy. Then when I was older, I found the courage to tell them that I was a boy and that I was called Sherlock - SH

And then you grew up to be a man, like dad - Rosie

Yes, I did - SH

And an extremely gorgeous one - JW

Eww, stop kissing each other - Rosie

Alright, we've stopped - SH

So, do you understand what papa has told you - JW

I think so - Rosie

What do you remember? - SH

That when papa was born, people thought he was a girl but he always knew he was a boy and now he's a man, like dad - Rosie

So, is papa a boy or a girl? - JW

A boy - Rosie

Is dad a boy or a girl? - SH

A boy - Rosie

And are you a boy or a girl? - SH

I'm a girl - Rosie

And nothing has changed, right? - SH

Nope, papa is still really cuddly - Rosie
