The story

One week before her vaginoplasty, a trans woman named Sabrina "Bree" Osbourne receives an unexpected phone call from a young man named Toby Wilkins, a 17-year-old jailed in New York City. He asks to speak to "Stanley Schupak" (Bree's deadname); Toby claims to be the son of "Stanley". Bree was previously unaware she had a son and, wanting a clean break from her past, nearly renounces him.
