Teenagers Arin Andrews and Katie Hill look like any normal young couple posing in their swimwear.
It is hard to believe that just two years ago Arin was a girl called Emerald, and Katie was a boy called Luke.
Arin, 17, and Katie, 19, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, have both undergone surgeries to change their gender and now are enjoying being in their bodies they always wished for.
Just over a year ago Katie, a university student, had gender reassignment surgery, thanks to an amazing $35,000 donation from an anonymous donor who read her story in a local newspaper.
Now, Arin, who is still at school, has undergone an operation to remove both of his breasts, and is proudly showing off his new male physique.
For the last year, Arin has been binding up his chest to try to hide his female body, but can now go topless for the first time after his surgery in Cleveland, Ohio, in June.
He said: 'Now I can wear a tank top, which I couldn't before, I can go swimming shirtless, I can walk outside, I can just be a regular guy now.
'I hated my breasts, I always felt like they didn't belong - now I can finally be comfortable in my own body.'
He added: 'Now when I'm out in a public pool, or lifting weights, no-one raises an eyebrow, they just think I'm a guy - just a skinny dude in the gym trying to build some muscle.
'My family have really surprised me with how supportive they have been throughout the surgery. I'm so lucky to have them and Katie to rely on.'
Katie and Arin met nearly two years ago at a support group for transgender teenagers and bonded through their shared experiences.

Can’t wait until I can be altered into the duck that I truly am inside. Or maybe I’m a chicken.

Well, not exactly, son.
Dig the comments at the article—some bright reader said that she hoped the couple will have lovely children together one day!
wasn’t this a south park episode with the gay teacher turning female and decided he likes women again?
This is a freak show...that’s all.
They are as bad as abortionists. They should be singled out for scorn and shame. Likewise with the hospitals that countenance such harm and degradation to the human body and psyche.
Evil and greed has established a foothold in the medical profession.....and who is speaking up about it.....except right-wing crazy conservatives and gun-toting religious extremists in the deep south Bible Belt?

Treating mental illness with genital mutilation. What could go wrong?
So the lovebirds could have made a go of it sans surgery.
We had family friends, effeminate man, masculine woman. In today’s world, they would have been encouraged to be homosexual. Instead, they had a loving marriage, and normal kids.
"I'm my own best friend."
Interesting as I know such couples too. They seem to get along just fine with the bodies they were born with. Not every man has to be a "manly man" and not every woman needs to be a delicate flower of femininity. It doesn't mean you were born the wrong sex. Unfortunately, that's the message our society is sending though. It seems that every 6-year-old boy who might shun rough sports or show an interest in cooking is suddenly encouraged to "identify" as a girl. That's just not right and it's child abuse of the worst kind.
Affirmatively participating in another person’s delusion will not cure their mental illness.
Sick.
“his female body”
Biology FAIL and reality FAIL.
They should be sent to prison for life. Not that Holder would ever take the case.

What can I say? The criminally insane are running things. I would not doubt that the "supportive" parents' mental and spiritual sickness influenced these teenagers into mental illness and perversion. They could have been cured but now with surgical mutilation - they're stuck. It's tragic, disgusting and should be illegal. Also noteworthy is the media acting as the propaganda medium to influence public opinion. They don't want to wait to go to hell individually, they want hell on earth for all of us.
