You would never guess there was anything unusual about
this young couple from their picture – but their relationship was rather
special. Arin Andrews and Katie Hill were the first openly
transgender teen couple in the U.S. and their unconventional love story gave
hope to other trans young people all over.
The couple met in 2012 while going through gender
transition, and fell in love.Arin, now 19, and Katie, 21, posted videos documenting
the highs and lows of their courtship and their transition, discussing the
physical and emotional changes.
Sadly their relationship ended, but they feature in a new
documentary in which they reveal they still have a special bond.
Their honest portrayal of their lives has gained them
thousands of followers online who are inspired that they could find their
soulmate too.
Katie said: ‘I don’t think anyone unless they know our
story would come to the conclusion that we’re a trans man and a trans woman
dating.‘They would just see us as a boy and a girl dating.’
Arin said: ‘I’ve always loved women and liked women as a
female because I’ve always deep down known that I was straight male.’
