transphobia rearing its fugly head

i am saddened that two of my sisters, naomi and sass, were victims of a recent hate mail. you can read more about it here.

why does hatred like this still exist? is it to remind us that the battle is not yet over?

i believe that this is an opportunity for transpinays to uphold what STRAP is here for: to inspire. let us take this hatred and use it to show how beautiful transpinays really are.

we can get affected by it, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. i pity this simple minded ignoramus. much he doesn't know. he is stuck to the bigotry and blindness that he is still believing to be true. and we should pity such a person, despite his efforts to bring us down.

to you my sisters naomi and sass, i will always always be here for you, in the moment you can no longer take the pain, the ignorance, the hate, i will be there to embrace and comfort you. that time may never happen, but when it does, my arms are always here.

to transpinays everywhere: keep the flame burning!

an apology

okay, okay, i may have said more than i can live up to. i guess i won't be able to speak up for transgendered people, i have yet to research on the issues that are happening now, but hey, if ever you want to read about a transgendered girl living her life, go here. if ever you want to learn about transgendered people, you may here. or here: http://pinaytg.blogspot.com/ pau's site is very informative. anyways, i'll post some transgendered related topics here as well, for example, i nicked this off from a post by a co-member from my support group and organization, STRAP, or the Society of Transexual Women of the Philippines, (which i have yet to link to this blog, sorry sisters!) please enlighten yourselves:
