In a video that’s making waves this week, successful businessman Ricky Reyes, founder of the iconic hairdressing empire that bears his name, echoes what had long been the sentiment of a good chunk of the gay community. Reyes makes a good point — that the gay community need not force themselves upon the broader public […]
Filipino comedian Vice Ganda misses the point by a mile when he weighed in on the debate around what makes a real woman. The “It’s Showtime” host said he believes that a woman is not defined by her ability to reproduce, contradicting the statement of Sotto. Addressing the senate president, Vice Ganda said: “Parang ang […]
As a woman, I don’t get how some men can say they “identify as a woman” because there is so much about being a woman that I myself don’t even understand. Like why do some of us go for “bad boys”? And they haven’t even tried having periods every month! Being a woman can be […]
Would you hire a man to care for your young kids? Would you hire a transvestite or transgender woman (i.e. a trans person who “identifies” as a woman)? Many parents would at best give the answer to those questions a second thought. Most likely their answers would be immediate and categorical. See, certain “advocacies” quite […]
I read this rather pained article by a certain Jaya Jacobo published on Squeeze.Ph titled “Trans Politics after Gretchen Diez and Filipino Cisgenerity in a Time of Violence”. I describe it as “pained” because it comes across like the sad pleas of a spurned lover begging for the object of his affection to give him […]
Recent revelations highlight the fact that Chayra Ganal, the janitress in the middle of the circus kicked up by Gretchen Diez (who “identifies” as a woman) after she was refused entry into a female restroom, is a contractual employee, pregnant, and a woman. Ganal is, in all ironies, the very embodiment of the archetypical “victim” […]
Just because certain minority communities with “alternative” lifestyles have come to be (or, contrary to what the snowflakes are whining about, already long been) accepted in society, does not mean they are entitled to a piece of one’s personal space. The key principle here is respect. The LGBTQ community had long ago earned it. Perhaps […]
A discussion on whether or not to allow transvestites to use the female public toilets is raging in the Philippines after a transvestite felt discriminated upon when she was banned from using the women’s toilet in a mall. Those who are agreeing with the ban citing that perverts and men pretending to be trans can […]
The latest circus surrounding transgenders’ and cross-dressers’ “right” to use female restrooms has highlighted the unintended consequences of militant liberalism. It brought to the fore the consequences of personal lifestyle choices that impact the broader community. This is ironic because liberals espouse respecting people’s personal choices. However, they lost the plot along the way when […]
Natural born women can’t help being women. But transgender women are men who chose to become a woman. As such, there is a consequence to that choice that they need to live with. That’s not how Bataan Rep. Geraldine Roman reportedly sees it, unfortunately… “If you have a problem, magtiis ka!,” declared Roman when asked […]
