The school years were hell, Kalki Subramaniam remembers. Labelled a boy at birth, she didn't "fit into her body" and just looking at herself in the mirror was an ordeal. In addition, there was relentless bullying by the other kids because she was too "feminine." Just going to the boys' loo was torture.

She made a pact with her family to transition only after her two sisters were married. And she continued her education—a Master's degree through distance education—and is today the author of four books, two in Tamil and two in English; the latest out this past week.
