Identical Twins Become Brothers and Sisters

Identical twins become brothers and sisters
Have recently argued that the idea of ​​gender identity is a cultural phenomenon. This is especially true in Westernized thinking, which defines gender as an individual and society.

Alteration of gender identity has cast some suspicion on the whole concept of social sex roles. Some people have become famous since his stories were made into films and documentaries. Classic examples include Brandon Teena (Boys Do not Cry), Robert Eads (Southern Comfort) and My Life in Pink. In these cases, force, violence and aggression are always defined as masculine and intuition, food and softness and femininity.

And in each, the emphasis is on an adult who made the “decision” to change the gender identity based on a set of generalized variables.

But now, a family in Orion, Maine has a history that contradicts the decisions of adults and the idea that biology plays a role in gender identity. Wayne and Kelly Maines gave birth 14 years ago in identical twins, named Wyatt and Jonas. At four years, Wyatt played with dolls and skirts asking, while his brother played with Buzz Light year and pirate costumes.
 
At one point, according to the Boston Globe, after playing sequined dress and heels of his mother, Jonas just told his father to “face it, he had a son and a daughter.”

Wyatt has known since she was little that gender identity is female. Now going by the name of Nicole and never questioned their gender identity. Nicole’s parents are another story. Many parents ask their children when they “come out” to have a different kind, arguing that such a phase behavior or attention. In fact, until recently, many experts believe that a child would know that.

But now the Children’s Hospital Boston called the Clinical Management gender clinic or precious stones. Norman Spack, an endocrinologist who specializes in disorders of the genre, founded the first clinic in the western hemisphere that processes and evaluates trans gender or pubescent children. Maines Nicole and her family are customers.

In the past, many children with disorders of sex development (DSD) were considered medical emergencies and their families have often not been consulted in the child’s treatment. This is often due to lack of knowledge and misconceptions about gender assignment of the society and the world transsexual. In fact, Maines had to move because of intimidation and lack of sensitivity issues. This led to a trial that Wayne used as a teaching tool, telling the children “can not create a change unless they are involved.”
