Simon Aronoff remembers being a child who would go to sleep with an expectation of waking up in a boy's body, rather than the female one he had. As for the name, Jill, that could be changed a bit more easily. While the physical transformation didn't took place, Aronff says he always had that identity that leaned toward the male end of the spectrum, even if he didn't quite know what it meant. So, despite coming out as a lesbian at 15, Aronoff still felt more like a big brother than big sister to his younger sibling, Daniel.
