CHENNAI: Former TV show host and transgender activist, Rose Venkatesh, voted as a female for the first time in her life. Rose, who had voted as a male in the last two general elections, had undergone a Sex Re-assignment Surgery (SRS) two years go. She is probably the only person in the country to vote as both a male and female till date.

"Two months ago, I applied formally to change my gender in the voter's list. The government officials were very indifferent to me at first. Just a week ago, I got an acknowledgement slip saying the change has been made." The gender in all her other identity proofs like the PAN card and passport have also been changed.
