My Trans Life
Transgender couple Falls in Love
S1 • E2 Nov 14, 2012
Eighteen-year-old Katie Hill was born a boy called Luke. Her boyfriend Arin Andrews was once a girl called Emerald. The sweethearts met through a support group for young transsexuals in their hometown in Oklahoma, USA. Katie underwent gender realignment surgery earlier this year thanks to a $40,000 anonymous donation. Arin, a former beauty pageant contestant, has hormone injections and is working out with his father Mitch to try build a muscular body. Both teenagers shocked their families when they revealed their desire to live as the opposite sex. Katie's father Randy, a US marine, did not speak to her for three years. Nowadays, the young couple has the full support of their parents, who are coming to terms with their children's gender changes.
