Rose Venkatesan: 1st transgender TV host Rose venkatesan is now a woman

She has the name of a flower. Now she says she feels like a butterfly, able to spread her wings and al these words said by Rose venkatesan.

Rose Venkatesan is India’s first transgender television show host.

Now Rose Venkatesan has become the first prominent Indian to have sex-change surgery.

Thirty-year-old Rose Venkatesan, who had sex reassignment surgery in Bangkok on March 18, will officially announce her new gender status on May 6, which she says will be her “first birthday”.

Rose Venkatesan says “I feel like a butterfly,” on her return from Thailand, where plastic surgeon Dr Thep Vechavisit did a penile amputation and vaginoplasty.

“It makes me so much more a woman,” said Rose, whose public debut in February 2008 was on Vijay TV’s talk show ‘Ippadikku Rose’.

An engineering graduate who did a biomedical engineering course in the US, Rose Venkatesanwas forced out of her home because her parents disapproved of her cross-dressing and “other girlie ways.” But Rose Venkatesan took her “first steps towards womanhood” and faced the ‘real life test’ of living like a woman for two years before she was given female hormones. The so-called Harry Benjamin protocol says candidates for sex-change surgery must first pass this test.

Now Rose Venkatesan says ,”Thailand is the best place to get the sex change done. They do such a perfect job”. But her trip to Thailand was not without problems. At Chennai airport, the sari-clad Rose was directed to the women’s queue for frisking. “The immigration officials who knew me from my TV shows were very friendly, but those from the northern states, at the security check, were not. Seeing that my gender in the passport was mentioned as ‘male,’ a woman constable sent me to the men’s queue. It was most humiliating. I protested. Later, a senior official intervened and let me pass, with the advice that I get my gender status on my passport changed,” she says.

Rose Venkatesantravelled to Bangkok on her own as she didn’t want even her parents to know about the operation till it was over. “My mom cried a lot, but now she has reconciled to the reality that I am a woman,” she says.

So, what next? “I am working on a script for a movie I plan to make in English and Tamil. I will direct it and play the lead role. It’s my story — a tale of a transgender’s journey to womanhood,” Rose Venkatesan says. But the woman who made headlines for wanting to be a woman says she is open to marriage but has no immediate plans to marry. “I am in a relationship with a man and I want it to develop into a committed one,” Rose Venkatesan reveals.
