美國青年男女 同時接受變性手術後成爲情侶大綱

TWO teenage sweethearts look just like any other couple — but both were born the OPPOSITE sex.

這一對年輕的情侶和其他情侶看起來沒有區別，但其實他們都進行過變性手術。

Pretty Katie Hill, 18, spent the first 15 years of her life as Luke, son of a Marine colonel.

圖片可愛的凱迪·希爾今年18歲，之前15年一直是一個男孩，名叫盧克，父親是一名海軍上校。

And boyfriend Arin Andrews, 16, was born a girl called Emerald who excelled at ballet dancing and won beauty contests.

她的男朋友阿瑞·安德魯斯今年16歲，之前是女孩名叫艾莫瑞德，擅長跳芭蕾，還曾贏得過選美比賽。

Both struggled with their sexuality all through their childhoods and were teased and bullied.

他們兩人童年都因性別所擾，遭到別人的嘲諷和欺辱。

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.

他們的想法正好相反：凱迪（之前的盧克）覺得自己內心裏住着一個女孩，阿瑞（之前的艾莫瑞德）覺得自己應該是個男孩。他們在俄克拉荷馬州塔爾薩市接受變性手術治療的時候相識，立即墜入愛河。

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.”

因爲女性荷爾蒙的作用凱迪長出了胸部，她表示：“我們非常適合對方，因爲我們在成長的過程中都遭遇過同樣的困擾。我們現在的樣子很正常，別人都不會注意到我們有什麼不同。”

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.”

阿瑞說在他上學的第一天，當老師告訴他要跟女生排成一列的時候他非常混亂，因爲他覺得自己應該是個男孩。他說：“我對女性化的東西一點都不感冒。我成長的過程中別人說我是蕾絲，但我覺得自己不是同性戀。”

Both sets of parents had trouble accepting their children’s situation but are now firmly behind them.

雙方的父母之前都經歷過一段接受自己孩子狀況的痛苦時間，但現在都非常堅定的支持他們。
