Cork sisters talk about their journey from being brothers

Two Cork sisters who were born brothers are due to appear on British television today to chart the journey that began in early childhood.

Chloe and Jamie O’Herlihy both liked playing with dolls as children and while Jamie also liked “playing soccer and climbing trees”, Chloe said she “didn’t really fit in with the other boys”.

Jamie came out as bisexual at age 14 “because I wasn’t sure about gender yet”, and subsequently as gay, she told RTÉ’s Ryan Tubridy in a radio interview yesterday.
