little discussed piece of transmasc history is that one of the previous oldest living pair of conjoined twins (who died in 2024) was a trans man! his name was George Schappell & he came out in 2007; unfortunately his family had him deadnamed and misgendered in their obituary, which is part of why he deserves to be talked about more.
he had a career as a country artist, traveled around the US performing, and won an award! his sister considered herself a big fan of his and enjoyed his concerts. he also had spina bifida & used a mobility aids pushed by his sister. PinkNews recently posted this short quoting George on his transition & shows a clip of them talking about respecting one another's autonomy and privacy.
here's some pics of him & his sister Lori:
they died at age 62, which is tragically young but far beyond the life expectancy they were given at birth of only one year. they shared 30% of their brains and were the first known example of a pair of conjoined twins with different genders.
