We Were Boyfriends, Now We’re Girlfriends | MY TRANS LIFE

A TRANSGENDER ‘power couple’ are conquering the fashion industry. Brooklyn-based Jari Jones and Corey Kempster were both born male but now identify as women. The couple met during college and quickly became best friends but it wasn’t until they started dating two years ago that they fully identified as female and began to socially transition. Since coming out they have featured on the cover of New York Times Magazine, modelled in campaigns for fashion brands like Chromat and walked down the runway at New York Fashion Week. After three years on Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT), Corey recently took the life-changing decision to have gender confirmation surgery in Thailand. Follow their story here:

“For years the fashion has been one single look: tall, skinny, white... now there’s people like us..” * *points to girlfriend who is tall, skinny, and white* *

I need to stop watching happy couples when i've been single my entire life

[amyw.]

I mean forget the fact that they’re trans for a minute I just want to appreciate how supportive these two are of each other and how much they seem to genuinely care for one another...now that’s love

"Too cute to be cis" that's okay but what if someone said "Too cute to be transgender" ???

we went to college together. I can't believe they made it. this is craaaazy. So happy for them. Get

[zionaroni]

its really cool to see another couple like me! me and my boyfriend are both transgender men who first started dating when we were girlfriends. its really nice having someone who understands what your going through even though it can be hard since both our bodies dont look the way we want them to.

[Housewarmin]

Interracial trans same-sex couple. I already know they get the stares. I’m glad they are happy!!!

[dawnschnack]

No drug addicts
No abusers
No murders
No criminals
Good for them to be happy

HOW is this a “Gender Fluid” store? Looks like any other clothing store to me

[kelsieauger]

You can tell they love eachother that's all that matters and they support eachother cool story.

[candiiyadigg]

I’m they sugar coated around saying they didn’t work 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “model” “activist” “COMMUNITY BUILDER”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 I’m sorry that sent me

[Bubbles]

Love when they said they were best friends first, so cute together.

[rosesweetcharlotte]

Honestly, as a woman with larger feet, I'm sort of interested in that store.

[meezerpleezer]

What's with the whole "too cute to be cis" thing? You could be empowering to them without seemingly putting down straight people lol

[therealvoodoochild]

Omfg the way they look at each other 🖤 this is so pure

[BeccaBrodtman]

I don’t understand the TooCuteToBeCis part, I am all for everything that these two Women stand for but is that phrase supposed to mean that they’re cuter than cis women? If so there are ways to empower yourself without putting others down

[krazybtcch]

Truly soulmates. I found them to be inspiring as a couple.

[LeahAtz]

This will make their relationship stronger going through the transition together. They are so proud of themselves and eachother. They are happy with who they are which is more than what most can say. Wish them well.
