The boy who was a girl. This is the title of a chapter from Krishnavatar by KM Munshi, founder of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and a member of the Constituent Assembly of India. He beautifully narrates how Lord Krishna helps 'Shikhandi', a princess, to become a man. Later Lord Krishna uses him to fight a battle in Kurukshetra from the chariot of Arjun, where the rules permitted only a man to participate in the battle.
