Rose the transgender in Vijay TV

Star Vijay TV is one Tamil Channel which is known as the trendsetter for the innovative programs. Arguably, Lot of programs emerging from various Tamil Channels today have their idea origin in Vijay TV. The latest potential trend set by this TV is a program called "ippadikku Rose". The speciality of this program is that it is anchored by Rose, a transgender lady (err... a guy!!?).

As I was started reading a Tamil book "naan vidya" written by a transgender known as 'Living Smile' Vidya, the program was a pleasant surprise for me. The program hosted by Rose is supposed to take bold steps in discussing certain issues that are considered taboo by the society. But, moreover, this program is actually a bold step for changing the mindset of society toward transgenders. It works!!

For example, look at me. I see transgenders (or more familiarly called Hijadas) as if they are non-human beings. It is all because of the abnormal behaviours shown by transgenders. They stalk you in road-side, trains and other places for money. They don't mingle with the normal people. All these things would create negative opinions against them. In this backdrop, Rose' show helps in changing the way people look at her gender.

Rose has a beautiful face which can make original beau girls feel shame. Her handling of show is very much cool considering the hot topics she covers in it. Sooner or later people would realize that the transgenders are also normal human beings with a different sex orientation.
