A schoolgirl who came out as transgender inspired her future stepfather to begin transitioning from a woman into a man - just two weeks later. Arianna Quizhpi was born Jorge and raised as a boy but told her mother Jasming Arce, 33, that she was transgender at the age of six. At the time Jasming - who identifies as being 'pansexual' - had split from Jorge's father and was living with her girlfriend Jennifer Hull. And just two weeks after Arianna began her transition to female in July 2016, Jennifer found the courage to come out as a man called Braxton.
