Transgender teens who found love with each other have parted but remain friends
Love is fleeting for any young couple, and as they explain, “We have a very unique bond because we’ve been through the same stuff, even though it was in opposite directions. But we’re at a point in our lives where things are happening and it’s harder to spend time together.” Katie has started college and has had gender reassignment surgery.
Arin has decided not to rush things – female to male gender reassignment is much riskier than male to female – but says “It sure would be nice to have and not risk that issue in a relationship.” The two remain friends and continue to support each other: “We think that what’s important is that we’ve been there for each other through the hard parts of it and now we can just focus on having fun and enjoying being who we really are.”
