The Ocón brothers, first transsexual twins in Spain

GAYLES.TV.- Lucas y Mateo Ocón they are the first case of transsexual twins of which we have proof in Spain. Malaga today I brought the news with an extensive interview with these two brothers of 29, neighbors of Torre de Mar. They were born with the names of Lucia y Natalia, but from an early age they identified with the male gender. They were never comfortable with their childlike bodies. «When I grow up, I'll find a potion to become a child" He said Natalia. At that time they pretended to be called Felipe and Juan and cried because they did not want to wear pink. From small Mateo He told his father that when he was born again he would be a boy, at the age of five he told his mother: «Mom, I'm a child«.

Now those childhood dreams have come true. At last Lucas y Mateo They feel fulfilled with their body. For five years they have maintained their transit in privacy but now they want to make it visible and show the world that there is another reality beyond chromosomes and genitals. They started their process in the Gender Identity Disorder Unit (UTIG) of the Civil Hospital. The numerous obstacles that they found, the tests and that the doctors suspected that being twins were influencing each other led them to follow the process in private health. Despite the economic cost of the surgical intervention (4.200 one and 3.000 euros the other) consider that this decision was the best they have taken. The price of the surgery varies from one to the other depending on the technique applied according to different needs.

The management for the name change in the DNI It was another big obstacle. Lucas exemplifies this waiting with an anecdote: «I already had a beard. The Civil Guard stopped us once in a breath test. In my documentation I appeared as Lucia and, nevertheless, had masculine features. We had a medical report, but we had to give many explanations«. So Mateo you will not forget 11's November 2015 date; since then he has his documentation and is legally registered as a man.
