Innnaresting bit in today's New


Wednesday, February 20, 2008

rose%20transgender%20tv%20show.jpgInnnaresting bit in today's New York Times about Rose, India's newest (and only) transgender talk show host. Based out of Chennai, Rose's show will cover a wide variety of topics -- but it's inevitable that a main point of discussion will be the country's socially invisible class of hijras, or transsexuals. Perhaps amusingly (or tellingly?), the channel that will produce and broadcast Rose's show is owned by Rupert Murdoch. [NYT]
