'For the first time in the history of Indian television, a transgender will anchor a talk show on a Tamil channel, Star Vijay, titled Ippadikku Rose (Yours Rose), glamourising a gender condemned to begging and sex work.
A 28-year-old transgender, Rose, hailing from Chennai, will come on air about issues hitherto considered 'hush hush' like homosexuality, alternative sexuality, child abuse, sex abuse and generally things labelled as taboo.'
