The siblings also appeared on several documentaries and on episodes of The Howard Stern Show and The Jerry Springer Show in the ’90s and early aughts.

In 2007, the Schappells became the world’s first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders, with George coming out as transgender, Guiness World Records said.
