A transgender will host a 30-minute-long, weekly chat show on the rights of sexual minorities on Star Vijay that will feature transgenders telling the story of their lives.
Rose, a smart and chic transgender postgraduate in bio medical sciences, will be the anchor. The show, which is in the pre-production stage, will contain ingredients of drama, emotion and laughter and, in the bargain, serve a social cause as well.
“Previously, we produced a game show in which HIV positive women came out with their life stories driving a message to the audience not to discriminate against them. Vijay TV has always tried to knit entertainment with a social message. This is a part of that effort,” sources in the channel said.
The programme will throw light on who the transgenders are and the medical reasons behind the transforma tion of a person born as a man into a woman. Apart from this, the show will have transgenders speaking about their experience of growing up and humiliation by family and the society.
