Nicole Maines As A Kid

Born as Wyatt Maines, Nicole was adopted at birth in 1997 by middle-class, conservative parents, Wayne and Kelly Maines. Growing up, she always wished to be a girl, and by the time she turned 2, Nicole was already asking questions like — “When do I get to be a girl? When will my penis fall off?”

Although Nicole’s mother noticed her uneasiness, her father just ignored the behavior, thinking that it was her innocence as a kid. And it wasn’t until Kelly filed a lawsuit against Nicole’s elementary school, and Nicole’s twin brother Jonas said “Face it, Dad, you have a son and a daughter” that Wayne’s eyes opened.

Nicole Maines Before Surgery

Nicole received her gender reassignment surgery in June 2015, a month after she graduated from high school.

Before surgery, Nicole Maines was the same girl at heart and didn’t look any different from what she did after. She maintained long hair and even dressed like a girl as a child. According to her parents, since Nicole was already a girl, even before surgery, they wanted her to have a girl’s name.

“Raven” was the first name Nicole came up with. But since her dad didn’t like the name — complaining that it wasn’t “a real name” — he took the matter into his own hands. And after considering the name “Quinn” for a while, he finally settled on “Nicole”.
