I am a lady trapped inside a man's body, born with the name of "Wilson Soledad Ramayla III," but preferred to be called "Kwin kwin Hermosa," and my pronounce is She. I am currently financially supporting my studies as I am a grade 12 student in Kauswagan National High School. As a "Trans woman," it can be difficult and challenging for us to live in the Philippines. "Everyday might not be always good, but there is always something good in every day." Threats, rejection, stereotyping, and discrimination are some of the things we deal with on a daily basis. I find the quote to be helpful in my daily life. It provides me with enough bravery, and it has helped me to maintain my optimism by helping me to concentrate more on good things. I am aware that I merit respect, an education, and a bright future. It overwhelmed me since I'm one step closer to achieving my goals. Believe in yourself, If I believed in myself and I did it, then I know that you can too.

We still have a long way to go. But it will all pay off.

‪Straights who don’t want SOGIE Equality Bill are homophobic. Being straight and having gay friends doesn’t make you an ally. If you’re really a friend (and an ally), you would want us to have equal rights. We are not asking for too much. We are asking to be equal. If you fail to see that, it’s because you’ve been accustomed to privilege that us asking for equal rights is us asking for too much rights.‬

‪And privileged LGBTQ+ peeps who don’t want SOGIE Equality Bill are ignorant and selfish. If you’re used to discrimination and having less rights then that’s just you. The rest of us wants to put an end to it and have equal rights. The rest of us wants fairness and not special treatment.‬

‪The marginalized are asking to be accepted not just tolerated. We are not just some inconvenience that you have to tolerate. We are human beings that demands to be accepted.‬

‪Discrimination is still rampant in this day and age. The LGBTQ+ have less rights than hets. They are often ‬not accepted in some companies just because they are LGBTQ+. LGBTQ+ is still being seen today in the Philippines has a “disorder” that needs to be cured. Even in schools, LGBTQ+ kids are not accepted but only tolerated. There are institutions in the Philippines that ban same-sex relationships among students and even the use of rainbow flags during pride. LGBTQ+ children are being kicked out of their homes, or if not then being subjected to corporal punishment to “cure the gay away”. There are people here who thinks being LGBTQ+ is a choice. I wish it were a choice because no one would choose to be discriminated against. These kinds of discriminatory behaviors are prevalent and won’t go away.

SOGIE Equality Bill or the anti-discrimination bill is the safeguard or safety blanket for us in the LGBTQ+ community.

SOGIE Equality Bill’s purpose is to prevent various economic and public accommodation-related acts of discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The LGBTQ+ Community does not share the same rights as straighties. Our relationships are not even recognized by the state, which is why we don’t have any legal possessions of our partners. Without said bill, companies can and will not hire persons from the LGBTQ+ community for the reason of being too flamboyant. Even families cannot accept their LGBTQ+ relative. Without said bill, we have no protection from hate crimes.

We need the SOGIE Equality Bill. To deny us this right is to deny us human rights.
