After a wait of five years, Ayman Mohammad Khan is ready to become Aman Mohammad Khan. Admitted at the government-run St George Hospital, the four-year-old will undergo genital reconstruction surgery today, becoming the youngest in Maharashtra to undergo it. Speaking to mid-day, the toddler gushed out in excitement: "I want to be Aman."

In the first stage of surgery, doctors will make a conduit to help him to urinate like a male, and later, develop a scrotum. Hospital superintendent Dr Madhukar Gaikwad said, "He underwent a sonography today here. His surgery will be similar to (Beed constable Lalit) Salve's, just that he won't need facial surgeries to get a manly look, as he is too young right now."
