In 2007, George made history by transitioning, making the Schappells the first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders, according to Guinness World Records. During their visit to London in 2011 to commemorate their 50th birthday, George discussed his journey as a transgender man with The Sun, saying: “I have known from a very young age that I should have been a boy.”
Both siblings graduated from the Hiram G Andrews Center, pursuing careers at Reading hospital afterward. Despite their physical connection, they pursued individual interests and hobbies. George followed his passion for music as a country singer, entertaining audiences worldwide, while Lori excelled as a tenpin bowler.
Remarkably, the Schappells maintained an independent lifestyle since the age of 24. Initially living in an institution, they later shared a two-bedroom apartment, each sibling having their own room. They highlighted the importance of privacy, revealing that despite their physical attachment, they could still find solitude when needed.
