In Becoming Nicole she tells a different story; the tale of Wayne and Kelly Maines who adopted identical twin baby boys, Wyatt and Jonas. By the time they were toddlers Wyatt hated having a penis and knew that she was not a boy but a girl called Nicole. This book recounts the many challenges the family faced; from their own expectations to the prejudices and bigotry of the town and state in which they lived – Orono, Maine. Nicole and Jonas are still only 18 years old so this is certainly an up to the minute account of growing up transgender in the USA today.
