They were also the world’s first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders, as George announced he was transgender in 2007 and began presenting himself as a man.

While Lori was able-bodied, George could not walk due to a spina bifida, so he used a wheelchair that Lori pushed for them to get around.
