Back in March I posted a Washington Post story to the blog about the upcoming debut of an Indian transgender TV host named Rose in Chennai, India.

Her half-hour show on Vijay TV called 'Ipadikku Rose' is broadcast to an audience of up to 64 million people in India's southern state of Tamil Nadu. While it was conceived as a program suitable for family viewing according to the show's director, Anthony Thirunelveli, it tackles sex and sexuality issues.
