Back in 2007, "Oprah Show" viewers met a teenager named Jake. Jake was born as Julia and lived as a girl for 14 years [. . . ] He began taking bi-weekly hormone shots and at age 15, had a double mastectomy. Though Jake's family supported his transition, his younger brother, Jason, was coping with the loss of his sister and the attention Jake was receiving from their parents.

[Jason started having problems and the two brothers didn't have a good relationship].

[Now] "The state of our relationship now is really good, I think," Jake says.
