I'm an FTM and I have an idential twin sister. Just wondered how many trans people out there also have one too. It's really interesting since we both grew up being 'tomboys' and then I 'didn't grow out of it'.

During my mom's pregnancy the doctors told her that she was pregnant with twin boys, then a while later they said that one might be a girl but the other was definitly a boy. Then well, you know. We were born identical at 27 weeks weighing two pounds each. Whenever I was told that story as a child I always thought that I wasn't in there long enough. Haha.

But, anyway, now if you saw us together we really are the same person but it's like she is the girl me and I am the boy her. My parents always thought that I acted like a male to seperate myself from acting like my sister but I obviously don't think so. I like how we are the same, like an extension of each other just I simply couldn't identify as the same gender as her.

Just wanna hear other stories of twins where one is trans since I don't know any other (that I know of) or thoughts about it.

I wish.

But then again, perhaps not.

My mum's a twin   (they're not identical though..)

that's cool =D

yeah her and I used to try to trade places in school hahah and people would always ask if we could feel each others pain and which one was the evil one.

I have a twin brother but we don't look alike. He is ugly.

hehe..

We are as different as night and day. Not a whole lot in common. I love him to death, though.  I didn't know at the time but my family always thought I was gay because I didn't have serious relationships. I sure fooled them! heehee

Hahahah that's cool. =D yeah I guess my twin and I don't reaaally look a like but if you heard us talk and laugh we're exactly the same.

if anyone wants to post pictures that'd be cool too I could get some if anyone is interested. It would be neat to see.

I have a set of fraternal twins. They are as different as siblings can get.

I'm a fraternal twin. I am one minute older than my sister.

 Roxy and I are not exactly identical twins.

How does she feel about you being ftm? like were you guys close growing up and did your parents dress you the same and stuff as kids?

I kinda think you are. 

Yes!

My identical-twin brother, Dean Jeffrey, was born about 3 minutes before I was.  He had a nonpatent esophagus, and in late-1955, doctors had neither the knowledge nor the inclination to save him.  He succumbed within a few days of profound malnutrition.  Likewise, I had some birth defects too.  Dean and I were premature and born to a woman of age 34 ... very late gestational maternal age in the mid-1950s.  Today, medical science is advanced enough to be able to save a baby born this way.  My records say the old man was a smooth-talking salesman and my birth mother was a petite and shapely secretary.  They worked in the same office.  My bro and I are the product of their intra-office, extracurricular, carnal dalliance.  Today, this is no big deal.  In the mid-1950s, it was shameful and scandalous beyond measure.  You see, they were married to other people.  Babies like my bro and me immediately got shipped off to the adoption agency.  The times, they HAVE a-changed.

Mind you, I only found this all out a few years ago.  You see, I'm adopted.  For years and years, I had this strange, inexplicable feeling about my having a twin out there somewhere.  That's the God's honest truth.  The adoptive parents NEVER told me this ... or ANYTHING about my real history.  I had to seek it out myself in later middle age. 

Just imagine having that peculiar feeling for years that you have a twin out there ... and then finding out that you DID!   An IDENTICAL twin.  No joke.  No lie.  It happened.  Now, is THAT freaky, or what?  True story.

Wow thats crazy!

There were ID twins who both  went MtF in South Africa, I'm going back 30 plus years. They looked pretty id afterwards as well. Does your twin have any GID?

Interesting

Lacey.

I can really understand how that information must have affected you. Take care love.

Lacey: that's an interesting story.

It's so strange how you grow up learning and adjusting yourself and the world and then find out later in life how much of it you actually didn't know and it just throws you off.

And I think twins have strange senses. My twin and I will call each other at the same time then get the busy signal a lot. Also what was weird is that my sister was rushed into labour and gave birth to her baby all while I was at work, and on my break I had this weird feeling that she giving birth and called her and then my mom and no answer. I later found out she did and at the same time my break was. And I didn't know she was even in the hospital.

I feel like if I didn't know about her that I could have a feeling she was out there, so that makes a lot of sense to me.

Also rven though my twin grew up hanging out with boys and doing boyish things with me she is now so girly it's hard to believe that she was once a tomboy.

Thanks for posting. I had been wondering about trans people with identical twins.  (Namely if both tend to be trans or not)

I just have an older brother, but people tend to refer to us as the twins.  He is taller and skinnier, but we look and act a lot alike.

My sister isn't very fond of the idea of me being FTM. She thinks I'm sinning [like my parents do]. So its hard.

When we were younger our parents let us dress the way we wanted [most of the time]. But sometimes they did dress us up alike. I naturally was a tomboy so I gravitated towards more tomeboyish clothes and my sister liked more girly stuff.
