That is not the same as you asking me if I think they should be removed from the channels on the grounds that they're not naturally-born females.
And I'll repeat, this is not what the original discussion was about anyway.
The most recent discussion has been about shemales, generally, and about attitudes towards them, specifically (with a side-issue skirmish over what hypocrisy is, and who's been guilty of it), and the hole you've dug for yourself is that you've been seen to take up different and contradictory positions in a relatively short space of time. To be pro shemale:

shemale indifferent:

And implicitly shemale oppositional:

more-or-less at the same time, is to fatally stretch credibility (asking whether shemales should stay on the show, and asking if they deserve a place on the show is tantamount to posing the same question twice, I think. It was meant to be a bit of an elephant trap. How can they stay if they don't deserve a place? How can it be shown that they deserve a place on the show other than allowing them an on-going presence on it?).
There's never been anything concrete to suggest that the programme makers have been implementing a discriminatory 'pro shemale' agenda. Ice and Kipsi have come and gone on the show, and likewise so have shemales Balloon, Opal and Lisa. Nadia and Amy (post-reassignment op. female?) remain, as do Ali, Cherry and Anne (the line-ups may've been shuffled again recently; since Balloon's departure, I haven't been keep tabs on the show nearly as much). A balance is being more-or-less maintained. Both types of presenters seem to be being retained or let go on the same basis (leaving aside the fact that people can decide to leave jobs themselves, for a number of reasons).
Balloon leaving has probably annoyed me as much as Ice leaving has annoyed you (although who knows, one or other or both might return at some point). The difference is, I'm not guilty of implicitly laying the blame for that at the door of the makers of the show, the natural-borns that remain, or those on the forum who only enjoy watching the latter.
