Jack and Jace: The Twin Transgender Brothers

Identical twins Jack and Jace Graf, born as Jacqueline and Jennifer Graf, embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and gender transition.

Childhood and Early Struggles

Raised in a conservative Christian family in Baltimore, Maryland, the twin sisters experienced profound discomfort in their assigned bodies. Despite being in a loving environment, they secretly prayed to wake up as boys.

Embracing Their True Selves

At age 18, Jacqueline and Jennifer could no longer suppress their true identities. They confided in each other and began a shared transition process. Embracing their masculine pronouns and names, they underwent testosterone therapy in 2017 and breast removal surgery in August of that year.

The Journey of Transformation

Today, Jack and Jace present as men. They hold degrees in Criminal Justice and work as Deputy Sheriffs. They share their story to support others who may feel trapped in the wrong bodies.

Workplace Challenges

Despite their visible transition, Jack and Jace face obstacles at work. Some colleagues struggle to classify them as male, female, or a gender in between.

The Power of Twinship

Jace credits their twin bond as a source of strength throughout their transition. "Being a twin means you're never alone," he explains. "You have someone who understands your struggles, which makes you stronger."

The Role of Cosplay

Growing up, Jacqueline and Jennifer found solace in cosplay events where they could dress as male characters and feel a sense of authenticity.

Coming Out and Love

After graduating high school, the twin sisters confided in each other about their same-sex attractions. They now enjoy fulfilling relationships, with Jack engaged to Meagon Arrington and Jace dating Emory University student Jess Smith.

Medical Support and Identity Validation

Recent research suggests that identical twins have a higher rate of experiencing gender dysphoria simultaneously. Jack and Jace underwent breast removal surgery performed by Dr. Sheldon Linserberg, who helped them achieve a more masculine chest.

Official Recognition

On September 29th, Jack and Jace were officially recognized as male following the breast removal surgery. Changes to their gender markers on their driver's licenses were also made.

A Sense of Liberation

Jack describes the transformation as a profound relief. "It's like when you have a complex you've been carrying around forever, and then it's suddenly gone," he says. "I finally feel like I am who I was always meant to be."
