"Mom,
I know I have been a pain lately, and I think you deserve an explanation of what I have been up to. I really don't know where to start but you need to know that I am happy and have no plans to change my current life course.
I know you have heard rumors that I am gay, this is not true, I have told you that I have Gender Dysphoria and that I felt I should have been a girl. The fact is that I am now living as a woman and am taking hormones. It is my intent to have sex reassignment surgery at some point in the future.
My name is Kelly now and I am going to be changing it legally this year. Please understand that I love you all and it has taken me almost a year to tell you this because I know it will upset you.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have but I will not get into an argument about my life.
With love,
Your Daughter,
Kelly Lynn Campbell"
