As early as age 4, Wyatt Maines asked his shelter, "When do I get to be a girl?" And he told his father he hated his penis.
Wyatt always liked mademoiselle's clothes and movies, while his twin brother Jonas played with ancestral boy toys.
Born identical twins, the siblings share the same DNA, but their gender association took divergent paths. Now, at age 14, they are brother and sister, as Wyatt's modification to Nicole is well under way.
Nicole is 5-feet, 1-inch tall and 100 pounds; her link brother is 5-feet, 6-inches and weighs 115 pounds -- and they are best friends.
Their scenario -- marked by tearful emotions, bullying at their first school and at last a lawsuit and a move to a different town -- was chronicled in the Boston Sphere on Sunday.
Their parents, Wayne and Kelly Maines, said they brought their transgender daughter into the draw attention to in the hopes that their story might shed light on the struggle of others.
