The story of the twins, Jonas and Wyatt Mainesis all over the web. Wyatt has discovered that he is a girl and wants to become Nicole. Now, the parents rally behind their child and support Wyatt's transition. Here's a piece of the story from ABCNews.com:
Their parents, Wayne and Kelly Maines, said they brought their transgender daughter into the spotlight in the hopes that their story might shed light on the struggle of others.I am glad to hear that the parents are supportive. As Wyatt continues the transition, their support and love will go a long way.
"We sat down with our kids at the breakfast table when they were 9 and talked about fear, hate, evil and freedom of speech before sending them to school," their father, Wayne Maines, 52, wrote in an email to ABCNews.com.
"I was very angry and sad to have to talk to our small children in this manner," he said. "We also told them to keep their heads-up, be proud and take care of each other and their friends. I am very proud of them both because they have not forgotten that lesson and they continue to help others whenever it is safe to do so."
