A student of class 9th, Khanam was the eldest daughter among her sister. She had no brothers.

A couple of days back, Khanam was taken to the Sihat Foundation Hospital in Danyore due to some ailment. At the hospital Dr. Shirin and Dr. Firdous operated on her after which she transformed into a boy!

Talking to Pamir Times, Khadim Abbas (the new name of Khanam) said that she is very happy at the transformation. “I will support my family now”, Khadim said.

Speaking at the occasion, the mother of Khadim Abbas attributed the change to a miracle of God.

“I always kept praying to God for granting me a son and today I have got a son”, she said.
