Tashnuva Anan becomes country’s first transgender newscaster
Tashnuva Anan Shishir is set to become the first-ever transgender woman to work as a news presenter on a television channel in Bangladesh.
Shishir, already renowned as a model and social worker, will be seen presenting a regular news bulletin for the first time at the private satellite television channel Boishakhi Television on March 8, marking the occasion of International Women’s Day.
On the occasion of Bangladesh’s 50 years of independence, Boishkahi TV appointed her on Friday.
Sharing her feelings Shishir said she is overwhelmed by the opportunity. Television news presenters are taken very close to their hearts by Bangladeshis, often becoming trusted voices on the strength of regularly appearing on screen and relaying information held in high regard, i.e. the news. If the aim is to normalise the presence of ‘trans’ folk in society, few positions could be more potent.
