HELLO
I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

After a few moments he returns.
Yes sir it is.
Sure no problem officer.
How does growing up in chaos affect a child as they become an adult?
I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
What would TERFs do if there weren't such a thing as being transgender? Who would be their target?

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?
