NOWSHERA: Hassan Shah and his family are over the moon after the teenager followed experts advice and transitioned into the male gender, becoming eligible to join an all-boys school.
Assigned female at birth, or AFAB, the 19-year-old college student with an intersex condition was formerly known as Hira Usman. Known as sequential hermaphroditism in science, his condition is a protogynous one or female-to-male sex change.
A promising student, Hassan Shah would now be given admission at a boys college.
