Teenagers Arin and Katie might look like any other young couple, but they were not always like that.
Just two years ago, Arin was a biologicially a girl named Emerald and Katie a boy called Luke.
Just over a year ago Katie, 19, a university student, had gender reassignment surgery. Arin, 17, who got his breasts removed in June, said that he hated his breasts and always felt like they didn’t belong. He asserted that now he finally feels comfortable in his own body. He said that now when he is out in a public pool or lifting weights, no one raises an eyebrow.
Arin, who is still in school, insisted that he could wear a tank top, which he couldn’t before, and he can go swimming shirtless and just be a regular guy. He added that he feels lucky to have his family & Katie to rely on.
