To the casual observer, this young couple look just like any other teenagers in love. But pretty Katie Hill and her boyfriend Arin Andrews share a unique bond - they were both born as the opposite sex.

乍一看,这对年轻的情侣和其他热恋中的年轻人没什么不同。但美丽的凯迪-希尔和她的男朋友艾瑞-安德鲁斯的亲密关系却非常与众不同——两人都做过变性手术。
Boy meets girl, girl meets boy: Arin Andrews, 16, left, was once a girl called Emerald while his girlfriend Katie Hill, 18, right, was born a boy called Luke.
Boy meets girl, girl meets boy: Arin Andrews, 16, left, was once a girl called Emerald while his girlfriend Katie Hill, 18, right, was born a boy called Luke.
 
Katie, 18, spent the first 15 years of her life as Luke, son of a Marine1 colonel, while Arin, 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 bullied2 but their lives were changed when they both began hormone3 therapy and later met at a trans support group in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and instantly fell in love.
 
Katie said: 'All I saw was a handsome guy. We're perfect for each other because we both had the same troubles growing up.
 
'We're both size five, so we even swap4 our old clothes our mum's bought us but we hated.
 
'We look so convincing as a boy and a girl, nobody even notices now. We secretly feel so good about it because it's the way we've always wanted to be seen.'
 
High-school student Arin undergoes testosterone shots to give him the more masculine shape he's craved5 his whole life.
 
Meanwhile high-school graduate Katie, 18, has finished her female hormone course - oestrogen(雌激素) shots - which helped her to develop natural breasts with no silicone implants6.
 
Katie, who has legally been a female since she was 15, believes she was born with naturally high levels of oestrogen and was teased as a boy throughout school for having small AA-cup breasts.
 
Katie added: 'Even from age three, I knew deep down I wanted to be a girl. All I wanted was to play with dolls. I hated my boy body and never felt right in it.
 
'I kept my feelings a total secret growing up and was petrified7 of what people in our tiny Christian8 town would say. Now Arin and I can share any problems we face together.'
 
Arin recalls a similar experience and says he knew he was a boy inside from his first day at school, aged9 just five.
 
Arin realised he wasn't alone after reading about Katie's transition from male to female in their local newspaper. The pair eventually met in a local trans support group and hit it off.
