A girl in Kuwait is seeking court permission to undergo an operation to transform her to a man, saying a medical error caused the loss of her manhood when she was a child. But the court rejected the plea.

The girl, a bedoun (uncertain identity), said she was born as a boy but a medical error during a surgery at a local hospital resulted in the removal of all male sex organs. Her lawyer rejected the court sentence and requested medical examination to prove his client is originally a man.
