Hey, I'm actually pretty excited, 'cause
I gained five pounds.
I mean, I'm still pretty skinny, but
at least it's a start so...
There may be mood swings
and you will see a drop in your menstrual cycle.
Thank GOD.
Periods have never been easy on young men.
This is the parental consent form
which needs to be signed.
Why can't she just be a lesbian?
Because she's not a lesbian, mom, she's a...boy.
Do you remember that we were gonna name him Cole if he was a boy?
And now she is a boy and her name is Ray
like a truck driver or something?
Yo, Ray, lemme talk to you for a second!
Faggot!
- Oh my God! - Sit down, sit down!
Heard you got into a fight...
I'm not starting a new school in this body, I'm just not!
Maybe they'd make an exception -
I'm done with being an exception!
What if he turns around one day and says "Mom, I made a mistake"?
Prolonging this doesn't keep me a girl any longer.
It just keeps me from being who I already am.
Something's gotta change.
A boy?
Yes, a boy.
I can't sign this!
This is just a formality because you're named on the birth certificate.
There are risks, she may not be able to get pregnant.
There is no Ramona anymore!
It's just Ray!
There's been a problem with the papers.
Your father has to sign them. But he won't.
Why does he care? He hasn't seen me since I was a baby?
So you leave your family and start a new one?
I didn't leave me family.
I feel pretty left.
So you're like our brother?
Yeah.
Sort of.
Why sort of?
Because I was born in a girl's body.
I'm a girl in a girl's body!
I think.
I went through losing my daughter
all by myself!
And now I will be raising my son exactly the same!
I don't hear any slamming...
Ray is the only good decision I've ever made.
I still vote lesbian.
