America's first transgender couple gained popularity by inspiring many youths around the world with their transgender videos and stories.
Katie Hill and Arin Andrews
Arin Andrews and Katie Hill were the first openly transgender teen couple in the U.S. whose unconventional love story gave hope to other trans young people all over. The couple met in 2012 while going through gender transition, and fell in love.
Arin and Andrew gained internet popularity after posting videos online that inspired thousands of other young transgender people.
Katie said: ‘I don’t think anyone unless they know our story would come to the conclusion that we’re a trans man and a trans woman dating.

Arin had been born and lived as a girl named Emerald - during which time he was a serial beauty pageant winner - until the age of 12.
“I’ve always liked women, and loved women, even as a female, because I’ve always deep down known that I was a straight male”, he said.
Katie’s original gender was male, when she was known as Luke. She had full gender reassignment surgery, transitioning to a woman at the age of 18 - at a cost of $40,000.
“It’s become so normal for me to become a woman, to be a normal woman in everyday life” Katie said.
