Were you born prematurely too?

I am sorry for asking, but is your sister transsexual/ gay too?

Hahah no. And we're also identical twins too. She has a husband and two kids.

Though besides our gender and sexuality we are practically the same.

There seems to be several twins/triplets whom identify as trans - coincidence or something more? According to Google, in the US in 2001 3.1% of all births were twins with the figure in Europe roughly half that. A quick count of this thread ~ roughly 12 different posters, reveals 25% of whom are multiples. Interesting?

I was born 2 months early. I barely had lungs! My mom tells me horror stories of the machines that I needed to survive and how they'd go off in the middle of the night cause I'd stop breathing.

Yep born at 6 months weighing 500g. And about the size of an average soup tin. Mum made a huge fuss. it was in russia and I was declared unfit to live because I was apparently to premature. But im here today, a little strange but here. Hmm the systems changed a lot now. Now the nurses dont get to decide whos fit to live and who isnt. Everyones given a right to it.

Not premature but I was about 2 weeks early... my mom said I just wanted to be an Aquarius as I was born the last day of Aquarius and if I'd waited 6 more hours would've been a Pisces 

Weird how many people are premature though, maybe there is a link between that and being trans.  Actually I don't even know how often babies are born prematurely... time to do some research.

born right on time.

I was born a couple weeks premature, and my mom was born, I think a month premature.

It would be interesting to to a formal survey of trans-people, to see if there is any difference in rates of birth-complications from the general population. One theory about ->-bleeped-<- is that it originates with a hormonal imbalance in utero.
