A strange case of a girl becoming boy at the age of 17 has come into light in Manchikalapudi village of Guntur district. The girl, Shyamala was born as normal as her elder sister Lakshmi to her parents Earanki Ganapathi Rao and Krishna Kumari.
Everything was okay till Shyamala passed tenth class and entered Intermediate. Slowly she started showing changes in her physique. Her voice got turned to male voice and signs of mustaches started to appear on her face. The alarmed parents took her to Guntur Govt. Hospital. After conducting tests doctors informed them that Shyamala was in fact a boy. On doctors' advice, parents agreed for a minor surgery on Shyamala. Doctors set right the minor defect she had since her childhood. Now Shyamala turned into a 17 year old village boy Shyam.
Everyone, including Shyam's parents, friends, relatives and villagers are surprised to see him as a boy now. They say though they are surprised but are happy to see him as a boy. All is well with Shyam as a boy, except for a technical glitch. Shyam had been a brilliant student so far and passed Intermediate examination with distinction. In all the certificates his gender is mentioned as female and since he is a male now, he wants his gender changed as male. For this he has been making rounds to the concerned offices, but nothing has been done so far. He even missed a chance to appear for EAMCET last year. Recently he met the Guntur Collector and requested for the changes to be made in his certificates as soon as possible so that at least he can write the entrance examination this year to become an engineer, which is his dream since childhood.
