Okay, so, figured the current event forum could use some more positive things other than the normal gloom-and-doom, and I found this article awhile ago and thought I'd share. ❤

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.
Katie, 18, spent the first 15 years of her life as Luke, son of a Marine 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 bullied but their lives were changed when they both began hormone 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 swap 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 craved his whole life.
Meanwhile high-school graduate Katie, 18, has finished her female hormone course - oestrogen shots - which helped her to develop natural breasts with no silicone implants.
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.
An anonymous donor was so touched by her story they paid for her £25,000 ($40,000) gender reassignment surgery just four days after her 18th birthday on May 16, 2012.

You know I'd always wondered if that ever happened. This is really sweet, and oh my gosh they look so cute together! She is very pretty and he is a very handsome guy. And how nice a anonymous person decided to pay for her surgery wow that inspires a huge amount of faith for humanity, it's good to know there are still people who are charitable!

My heart is warmed.
