Oh my gosh so I found this page telling about a transgender couple and am blown away by how amazing it is. He was a girl, she was a boy. And they've been together for two years! He's 17, she's 19. Their names are Arin Andrews and Katie Hill.
Arin (once named Emerald) always felt like a boy, from his first day of school aged 5. He would be put into the girls line and have no idea why.
Katie (once named Luke) had always felt like a girl but didn't come out to her mother about it till she was 15 years old and asked for help in becoming 'Katie'
The two met at a trans support group in their hometown of Oklahoma.
Arin's mother always wanted him to do feminine things like competing in beauty pageants and ballet. But he was only interested in riding motorcycles and running triathlons, rock-climbing and outdoor boys stuff.
Eventually at age 11 his mother came around it and helped him with his testosterone shots and vowed to pay half of his breast removal surgery if he was able to raise the other half (which is around $7327 NZD)
As Jah mentioned in her interview I wrote, it takes guts to being transgender. He was bullied through highschool... The pretty girl who walks like a boy. Called a lesbian for so long, suicidal thoughts, even KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL.
When he heard about Katie and her transformation from being male to female he was inspired, because everything written was everything he was going through. It was like he was being given an explanation for his own feelings. Thats how he was able to embrace the term 'trans'.
He looked at her and thought she was so beautiful, and looked like Megan Fox, he wanted to know who she was so much and eventually asked for her number. After that they started seeing eachother.
Katie had alot of trouble growing up and just couldn't help being really girly, with a high pitched voice and high cheekbones. Her parents really struggled with their 'sons' lifestyle.
The pair have been together two years now and still going strong. Last year they both has their surgeries to becoming who they want to be. Arin had his breasts removed and now he is flat chested, what he always wanted. Katie's one was interesting, somebody anonymous read about her story in the paper and donated all the money to pay for her surgery. That would be around $68000 NZD! and she's gotten the full, female surgery.
These two lucky lovers :O I want that! hahaha such a beautiful story showing that it's all about the HEARTS not the PARTS when it comes to love. I get sick of these ones who think that love is all about sex. This couple shows the full extent of what love is.. and more. Amazing, inspiring :)
