Jeddah – Asmaa and Samar were known by residents of their hometown in the southern Saudi town of Al-Nimas as two sisters, Al-Watan reported.
Their lives were changed forever when they learnt they had in fact been born male. They had to undergo gender reassignment surgery to correct the problem.  Asmaa and Samar who later became Walid and Yaser respectively were born with both male and female organs.
