Twinning and how! Mayla and Sofia, 19-year-old identical twins from a small town in south-eastern Brazil have become the first in the world to undergo gender confirmation surgery, and that too together!

The twins shared that they never identified as boys and have finally made their dream come true, of transitioning to girls together.

The 5-hour surgery was performed on the twins, one day apart at the Transgender Center Brazil. While the emotional scars of their childhood continue to haunt them, they have the increasing support of their close ones.
