It's surprising the degree to which shemales still have to suffer intolerance, derogatory labelling and outright hostility, considering we're into the second decade of the 21st century. It's great that Thai Chat bucks this trend somewhat by helping to foster a more progressive mindset, and that its belief pays off in the form of a genuine and enthusiastic audience for them.
My problem with this is that people are deemed 'intolerant' just for stressing the opinion that they find them unattractive.
I don't see the appeal at all. They don't strike me as remotely feminine. In fact, a bigger turn off I can not imagine and it staggers me when people are fooled into thinking they're genuine females.
That doesn't make me a bad person.

RE: Asian Connections - Dayshow
You're starting to sound a bit like our dear, late, benighted brother StanTheMan! (I used to worry about his blood pressure whenever he got onto the subject of shemales!).
Anyway, the first thing to say is that the shemales are separate and distinct in looks and personality from each other. Balloon is as different from Cindy and Angie is from Kata. It's wrong to dismiss them directly or indirectly as an undifferentiated group. If the natural-born female presenters are going to get considered/discussed/singled out for praise/criticised on a babe-by-babe basis, then so should the shemales.
They're Thai third-gender; 'chicks with dicks' not blokes with tits, showing that the line separating male from female isn't fixed and rote (like they used to think it had to be in the days when they still read by whale-oil lamp and dipped for witches). They've also had less 'work' done to their appearance, than at least one pneumatically/'collagenically' pumped up blonde presenter I can think of. Look, I'm all for a few more natural-born female presenters being included on the shows, but they'll have to match the beauty of the best presenters, and right now, one or two of the best and most popular are irrefutably shemale (i.e. Balloon and Amy - who is possibly post-op and classified as fully female now? The 'ladyboy' prefix is missing from the thread dedicated to her, at any rate).

I think we should just agree to disagree on this. No point in us going around in circles

A vast improvement as you say. Just a pity there's no one on there I'm interested in watching now that Ice has gone.

I wouldn't go that far, but perhaps we're the only two to have stopped watching entirely.
