NAVIPET (NIZAMABAD): Poverty has forced a 24-year-old youth to turn himself into a woman in the district. The youth, a native of Vaddera Colony in the mandal, underwent a sex change operation in Mumbai and returned home recently.

"My family members were shocked and cried for two days when I informed them about the sex change operation," Kondapalli Shankar aka Ankita told TOI. Shankar went under the scalpel six months ago in a Mumbai hospital.

Also, how did he obtain surgery if he's so poor? And is this an indication his country could offer surgery without shrink letters?

That's what makes me question it. I don't understand how a person with no money and no job can afford it. Plus, I think that not too many men who have no gender bend would get a sex change just to get a job.
