Hi,
Becoming Nicole, a book about a transgender twin, was reviewed in the NY Times this morning. Below is some media about it, including an ABC video.

I expect it will be quite good. She's a very nice person as are both her parents. They are both very supportive and her father is an excellent public speaker for transgender issues.

With all that's bad in the world, what a wonderous time it is that at least in some enlightened regions of the world, that we, so many other people, & even animals have some rights & protections under the law.
It's so sad that in way too many parts of the world, society treats women worse than they treat their camels, farm animals, & pets.
Even the USA was not so enlightened as we think it was not too long ago. Former President Roosevelt shot a dog because it barked when he rode by on a horse. He rode most of his horses to the ground, & shot them when they couldn't go anymore. If someone did that today, they'd get arrested. He & his family combined killed thousands of animals just for fun on hunting trips. If someone did that today they would be considered a psycho.

Having read the book and watched the video,i would certainly think that he now she was meant to be a woman,her complexion and facial part of her face shows that the person was created in the wrong body and now after her re assignment of her body she is now what she wanted to be.
The book is incredable and one wonders how many more are like her around the world

Yep. I get a bit upset whan I see a parent, other adult, or older sibling that appears to be coaching & pushing a kid in one direction. It appears they're doing it for their own attention, motives, desires, or insanity. But this one seems for real, rather than someone coaching or leading a kid towards something they don't understand.
Got some caps of the video for those who like to save or archive stuff. Caps are handy because so many don't know how to save video, or just don't have the space to save a lot of them.
