TWO teenage sweethearts look just like any other couple — but both were born the OPPOSITE sex. Pretty Katie Hill, 18, spent the first 15 years of her life as Luke, son of a Marine colonel. And boyfriend Arin Andrews, 16, was born a girl called Emerald who excelled at ballet dancing and won beauty contests. Both struggled with their sexuality all through their childhoods and were teased and bullied. Katie always felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body while Arin thought the reverse. They met when both went to have gender-changing treatment in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and instantly fell in love. Katie, who has developed breasts with female hormones, said: “We’re perfect for each other because we both had the same troubles growing up. We look so convincing as a boy and a girl nobody even notices now.” Arin said he knew he was a boy inside on his first day at school when he felt confused at being told to line up with girls. He said: “Girlie things didn’t interest me. I was called a lesbian growing up but I didn’t feel gay.” Both sets of parents had trouble accepting their children’s situation but are now firmly behind them. |
