## Caption

A conjoined twin revealed he kept his true gender a secret from his sister for the majority of his life. Lori and George Schappell, born in Pennsylvania in 1961, had partially-fused skulls and shared 30 per cent of their brains. The siblings passed away aged 62 in April 2024 - defying doctors' estimations that they wouldn't live beyond the age of 30. Despite being attached at the head and sharing part of their brain, George had harbored a secret from his sister for most of their lives. George, formerly Dori, was assigned female at birth and later came out as a transgender man in 2007. #conjoinedtwins #twins #science #news #lgbtq
