KATIE: I've had a crush on him badly by this
point, I mean he brought me a beautiful flower
for the gala and I was pretty much like this
to him, cuddled close, and finally for the
first time ever he put his arm around me.
I said, this is nonsense, I'm gonna do it,
if he's not gonna do it, and so I had to go
in for the first kiss and for a whole ten
seconds just everything was silent, and it
was just that rush of shock that "Oh my God
I finally just kissed Arin"
ARIN: I was sitting here like thinking, I'm
kissing the most beautiful girl in the world.
Hehe. The most amazing woman that I know.
KATIE: And I was like "Oh my God I'm kissing
Arin, the most handsome guy, and he's sweet
and he's charming" and he's just always been
there and he's just transgender just like
me so he understands me and...it was great,
it was incredible.
ARIN: Right now I'm really, really looking
for, to get my top surgery, so to get my ***
removed, because that is one of the most uncomfortable
things on my body and I can't really stand
to even just have, I have a t-shirt on, I
can never just be relaxed in my own skin.
So my top surgery is definitely a must for
me. And the bottom surgery I don't think it's
a must right now.
ARIN: I am trying to get these off me as soon
as I can basically.
KATIE: After I came out and transitioned,
it was beautiful, and I felt good about myself
and I was happy. And from this day I cry every
time I talk about it because I realise that
I don't want any other kid to go through what
I had to go through. No - no-one else. It
hurt so bad. It's the worst pain I could ever
describe. And it's not that I'm crying over
myself. It's that I'm crying that I know right
now there's hundreds of kids out there going
through exactly what I did. But, they're still
going through it. They're still hurting.
