Conjoined twin kept huge secret from sister for decades

ut.”

Their relationship was built on an unusual but deeply respectful understanding—one that balanced closeness with autonomy.

A Secret Carried for Years

Yet while Lori was open about her desires and identity, George carried a truth he kept hidden for decades.

The twins were originally named Lori and Dori. But from a young age, George felt that something didn’t align.

“I have known from a very young age that I should have been a boy. I loved playing with trains and hated girly outfits.”

For years, he kept those feelings to himself—even from the person closest to him.

“I kept my desire to change sex hidden – even from Lori – for many years.”

The weight of that silence grew heavier with time.

“It was so tough, but I was getting older and I simply didn’t want to live a lie.”

A Moment of Truth—and Acceptance

In 2007, George finally shared the truth with Lori.

The moment was significant—not just because of what was revealed, but because of how it was received.

Lori later admitted she was initially surprised, but her response quickly shifted to support.
