Led by the child who simply knew

A thought-provoking read for the evening: Two identical twins were both born male, but one always knew she was female. Here’s the tale of the family and the brave doctors who helped them along the way.

When Wyatt and Jonas were born, their father was thrilled. Wayne looked forward to the day when he could hunt deer with his boys in the Maine woods. The family lived in Orono, near the University of Maine campus, where Wayne is the director of safety and environmental management.

They had no preparation for what would come next.

When Wyatt was 4, he asked his mother: “When do I get to be a girl?’’ He told his father that he hated his penis and asked when he could be rid of it. Both father and son cried. When first grade started, Wyatt carried a pink backpack and a Kim Possible lunchbox. His parents had no idea what was going on. They had barely heard the term “transgender.’’
