Must Read on Pakistani Drag TV Host

I have known about her and her show for a while, now (actually thanks to an interesting encounter between her mother and Desi) but I realized that this is something a lot of you who have no idea what's going on might find REALLY interesting.

Follow this link for an article written by the brother of Desi's ex (the ex who I met in Pakistan with the friend I developed a *minor* crush on) about the drag personality who is setting records in South Asian television with her late night talk show.

What's more: she's running for parliament! :)

The article is interesting not only for what she says about her character, but also for the comments that follow.

It's interesting to see the comments by British and American Pakistanis who are totally outraged and disgusted (with one of them talking about the loss of "real Pakistan," whatever that means, since it's existed all of 60 years) (see hayrulallah from the UK and Noor Malik from Atlanta).

There also one comment directed at the reference to the Indian side of Kashmir that's pretty outrageous (see Mahesh, from Virginia).

Someone (Hazari in Arizona) makes the REALLY twisted argument that she's disgusting because she leads people to misunderstand the REAL protections that Islam provides for REAL hermaphrodytes (apparently he doesn't see a difference between being both sexes at the same time, gender TBA, and being one sex but another gender).

READ IT! :)

Here's a Newsweek article about her (if you just can't get enough of the Begum).
