SynopsisFormer Men's Figure Skating Olympian Robin Kelly Leeds has just announced his transition to United States Pair's Figure Skating with her husband Sebastian Gerrold Wilkins. Now Robin Kelly Wilkins and her husband have consented to Sebastian Gerrold Wilkins to tell their story.

Robin

I was Robin Kelly Leeds, an athletic boy who loved to skate and do other sports. I found that I was really a girl one Halloween when I dressed as a female version of Captain Kirk while Sebastian was Spock, thanks to Momma's sewing machine.

She went by the pattern in the STAR TREK TECHNICAL MANUAL and got me the pantyhose and boots as well as making Sebastian's uniform since Momma Wilkins did not have a sewing machine at the time.

Sebastian

Mother would bake several dozens of cookies for Halloween or any other holiday event. It became a tradition that she would cook the Holiday meal for both families and Papa Leeds to pay for the groceries. The only times that was not done was for the barbecue where our dads would do a feast of chicken, pork, burgers and hot dogs while our moms made the salads, we kids made the tea or got the sodas.

My parents knew and accepted Robin for who she was because although still a boy, she was my best friend with whom I was in the Scouts and on the school's sports teams. We were the only ones who knew about Robin's secret.

After graduation, I finally was able to transition to who I am now. My parents allowed me to start taking blockers and hormones then, knowing that because I was intersexed, that I'd never develop as a man, but with surgery, become a woman.

Any MRI or X-Ray will reveal that except for my having no reproductive organs, I am fully female. Once my surgery was over and I was healed, I met Sebastian and we began dating as well as skating.

Sebastian

When I saw Robin, I saw a cute, petite blond who was my match on the ice. After graduation, I chose figure skating because I am not that good of a team player, preferring singles skating until Robin arrived, and then I found pairs skating to be better.

We have married and have chosen to be open about Robin, knowing that we may be disqualified because of her transition. But the Olympic Committee is allowing for us to compete.

I have always hoped that any American team would embrace any player that had chosen to become physically what they are in their mind.
