This is Arin Andrews and Katie Hill. They’re America’s first openly transgender teen couple and their story is inspiring teenagers all over the world.

Arin, 19, (formerly Emerald, above right) and 21-year-old Katie (formerly Luke, above left) met while transitioning genders in 2012 and fell in love soon afterwards.

They shared their romance online by posting videos charting their unconventional relationship including the physical and emotional changes they went through.

"I don’t think anyone unless they know our story would come to the conclusion that we’re a trans man and a trans woman dating. They would just see us as a boy and a girl dating."

Throughout their journey, they have managed to inspoire many other teenagers going through the same things.

One inspired teen is Devon Ellerman, an 18-year-old transgender male and looks up to Arin and he hopes he will one day find love like he has.

"When I was younger I saw a few of Arin’s videos. Watching his videos definitely made me feel that I wasn’t all alone. There’s folks out there that feel the same way I do. I think it would be lovely to eventually marry a woman and carry on with our lives as normal people being in love."
