I don't understand the whole "trapped in the wrong body" issues transsexuals have. But if changing their bodies makes them happy, I'm cool with it. They aren't bothering anyone and it doesn't have any effect on other peoples lives.
That's because they are broken mentally and their wires are crossed. They need counseling, not a sex change. They weren't born in the wrong body, they just think making the ultimate change will save them from whatever pain they are going through. And almost all of them are unhappy with the results and become worse off than before. Not all, obviously, but most. They need to go talk to a professional and sort out their issues and accept who they are, not irreversibly hack the shit out of their body. The mind is the same, regardless, and therein is where the problem is.
So he/she has a vagina now, and the other one has a dick?
The status of the genitals is one of the less important things in the conversation, but I'm guessing that Mr. Andrews hasn't had much in the way of surgery because the surgery for trans men is less advanced and less successful than the ones for trans women and because he's still underage. The article said that a private donor paid for Ms. Hill's gender reassignment, but didn't say if she had completed it to her satisfaction.
She looks like a cute girl because she is a cute girl. It's that simple.
I wouldn't go that far. I'll use 'she' or 'her' to refer to them because it would make them happy but I can't exactly think of them as really being women.

I'm not sure about this, but aren't they required to have counselling sessions if they want a sex change operation? Unless they go to a country with more relaxed laws about such operations or something.

Always wondered what these people tell their kids...whom they adopted...or for that matter their parents.
Not throwing stones...just curious how that conversation would go?
They probably say the same stuff the normal couples say "Daddy and me (other daddy) really loved each other and so you were born" and etc. After the kid becomes an early teenager I'm pretty sure he/she already realizes the actual situation.

Adopted? Not all trans persons have complete reconstructive surgery.

Well how do you like that. Always wondered with some transgender people how their sexuality leans. More fascinated than anything I suppose. I guess in this case they both wanted to be the other gender, but still liked the "opposite" sex once getting the change done. It's interesting to say the least. I have no problems. Whatever makes you happy I say.
