The tragic tale of the conjoined twin who kept a major secret from his sister for decades

Lori and George Schappell, born in Pennsylvania in 1961, were the world's oldest conjoined twins - but George had kept a secret from his sister for the majority of his life. 



Conjoined twins Lori and George Schappell, born in 1961, lived to age 62. George, who had spina bifida and used a wheelchair, kept his gender identity a secret from Lori for years, eventually transitioning and changing his name from Reba. Lori supported George's decision. The twins held the Guinness World Record for the oldest-living conjoined twins and were the first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders. They lived independently in Pennsylvania and pursued separate hobbies.
