I was meaning to post this since the time Rubina did her act on the weekend. Being a trans person is not just about donning a costume and doing hand gestures...and as a non-transperson, if you are doing it, it is appropriation. Rubina and the channel should really sensitize themselves to the issues and quit doing this! The only purpose it serves is to earn Rubina brownie points for playing a challenging role and maybe some applause to the channel for making such a story but it does little to empower transgenders.

Rubina's PR needs to stop circulating images like this to boost her popularity and image. I did not see Laksmi endorsing Rubina anywhere so what is the meaning of all this? Is all this just a ploy to get votes?
