Nicole Maines has done a lot for in her 18 years. She won a major transgender rights case, appeared on Royal Pains, and has now been interviewed by People magazine.

Nicole, born Wyatt, and identical twin brother, Jonas, opened up to the periodical about their youth.

"Whenever we were playing dress up she always wanted to be the girl," Jonas says. "She always played with the dolls. I never questioned it."

Ms. Maines is the subject of Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of a an American Family, a book by Pulitzer-Prize winner Amy Ellis Nutt. It tracks the Maines' journey raising Nicole and Wyatt's transition to Nicole.
