“ I was born in between two sisters, in a joint family of 14 people. SInce childhood, I have never thought of myself as anything but a boy. As far as I can remember, I have always dressed as a boy, played with boys, and grown up playing cricket with them. Even though I was called a tomboy, I knew it was not a phase, I really was different from my sisters. The problem started when puberty hit and menstruation started. That is when I started hating my body. Something did not feel right. As I felt like a male trapped in a female body, I dressed and spoke like a male; society was not kind to me-the social taboo, the criticism, the bullying and laughter behind my back made adolescence quite difficult. Although my parents were conservative, they accepted me the way I was- with the condition that I would never undergo a sex change operation. Although you cannot tell I am female by my appearance - my feminine name has made life really difficult; I have felt discrimination in my workplace , in relationships and even in simple queues at the airport or even the loo! In 2015, I tragically lost both my parents and it is only recently, that I have decided to go ahead with my sex change operation. I am on testosterone for the past 2 months and I finally feel like I am going to take a chance and live my full life. My message to all would be to be kind- you don’t know what someone else is going through.”
