This one has it all: Hermaphroditism, incest, sex change surgery, betrayal, and the inevitable lawsuit. Cable executives score their next movie-of-the-week:
Twenty-nine-year-old rubber tapper Kuttiyamma, born with both male and female genitals, had been in love with the relative, Laura, 25, for 15 years before having surgery to become a man and change her name to Binu, the Hindustan Times reported. But Laura became engaged to another man and Binu is suing her for breach of trust after spending 50,000 rupees ($1,150) on the sex change in southern Kerala state. [Reuters/Yahoo!]

Forget Aishwarya, now this says Oprah all over it.
Not Oprah, most definitely Jerry Springer though.
Gurinder Chadha could make a good movie based on this storyline.
Yeah, Nip/Tuck hits the streets of India. Woohoo. Go Kutiyamma/Binu.
And there is no hyper reaction to the whole event from ‘society’? Is Kerala becoming a mature society or what?
I am thoroughly shocked… that not a single one of you took the opportunity to mock “rubber tapper.”
With over one billion people, it can be expected that a few will be highly unusual.
and no one has bothered to mention that s/he was in love with Laura since she was 10 years old?…
