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.
