Siguro ito common to for everyone.
But in terms of jokes,
like discriminatory jokes...
Alam mo naman yung mga jokes like 
"Uy, baklang to..."
Do we draw a line?
That is just the meanest thing.
Hi, I'm Maui. And I'm straight.
And I identify as male.
Hi guys, my name is Ish. I'm a transgender woman.
And I identify as a woman.
It was during my college days
when I started exploring about my gender identity.
Ako I'd say ever since. Like, hindi ko naman siya pinag-isipan.
Parang sure naman na ako.
When you're young, you don't have a wide knowledge
about the LGBTQ+ or SOGIE.
Ah meron, meron.
I have friends naman from all communities.
Well at the start, yes,
it was very difficult.
So a lot of challenges.
My family is not that supportive.
Personally, I've never encountered any issues, problems, or challenges,
just because I identify as male naman.
Wait, kaynino sayo or sakanya?
Ako nga pala si Maui.
-Ish.
Here's one thing I think na common.
Fuckboy siya.
Ang sama ng ugali niyo.
Ayoko na.
Number two...parang hindi ka pa...
Immature pa siya.
Ay putangina.
Ayoko na.
Number three...
-Ang negative!
-Okay lang. Sanay na ako.
Feeling ko naman mabait siya.
And feeling ko matalino siya.
Nagkamali ka dun.
Feeling ko funny siya.
Yun. Yun ah.
Sige, babalik ko lang.
Fuckb--De joke lang.
First impression ko is...feeling ko
funny ka rin eh.
Very open yung personality mo.
Pangalawa, feeling ko.
Dahil UAAP season na.
Feeling ko mahalig ka sa volleyball
if ever magkakaorientation tayo between sports.
Feeling ko very supportive ka sa
friends mo because of yourself diba...
I'm sure naman, madami kang issues
sa society rin naman.
Feeling ko you're okay with being friends
with anyone regardless nalang.
And siguro number five,
di ko alam kung tama yung term like glueguy?
Ikaw yung naghohold together--
Hindi yun yung term eh.
Like you hold the group together.
Ganun yung personality mo eh.
Well, that's what I pick-up.
Never have I ever gone home
drunk past 3am.
Never have I ever gone into
a physical fight as in suntukan.
I've never.
Have you?
Hindi.
Never have I ever...
bullied a gay friend.
Ay..
pero...
Sige sige.
To be safe, to be safe.
Hindi naman bully like ginulpe ko siya
or anything ah, it's more of...
I think from an all boys school,
you tease everyone diba.
Everyone has their quirks. So let's say there's a
gay classmate, lagi yun yung tukso mo sakanya--
That is just the meanest thing.
Hindi, hindi!
Yun yung tukso mo sakanya diba parang "Huy, ano..."
Galing akong all boys school ah.
Oh ayun. Kung galing kang all boys school,
I'm pretty sure you can relate eh.
Kasi kahit hindi siya gay, ginaganun din siya eh.
Gina-gay joke din siya.
So it's as a far as that.
Hindi naman ako nanggugulpe or nananakit.
Never have I ever
touched another man's genitals.
Wow.
Sabay uminom eh.
Okay lang yun.
Tama naman yun.
Normal lang yun.
Normal lang yun.
Never have I ever been with a female.
Ay, ang daya.
Ang daya niya eh!
-Inumin mo na to.
-Ang sakit ng tiyan ko.
Ang dami niyang stories pero sige,
photo nalang.
-Piliin mo yung pusa.
-Nope.
Ah okay.
Nadeny ako.
Oh my god.
-Bakit?
Okay, I found one.
Ito, ano to?
Aaah. Saging na aso?
I think nahanap ko yung photo na yan
high school pa ako.
Tas I was rummaging through my phone,
nakita ko ulit siya tapos sobrang natouch ako.
Bakit? Bakit ka natouch?
Kasi mahilig ako sa memes, tapos may saging.
-Mahilig ka sa saging?
Yung dog na yan specifically,
yung meme na si doge...doggy?
May medyas ako niyan, may t-shirt ako niyan,
so gustong gusto ko talaga siya.
So deserve niya talaga mapunta
sa feed ko.
May personality.
One photo?
Sige, check natin yung feed mo.
Mas madami kang photos than me actually.
So far ang nagrerecur sakin na theme is...
Actually very aesthetic yung feed mo eh.
Yeah, we're from advertising.
Aaaah. Marketing ako,
kaya wala akong alam.
Pinaka interesting for me...
Najudge ako by a photo? Ang hirap.
-Hindi.
Madaming food eh, pero ito.
Can you explain this to me nalang?
Kasi it shows, I'm guessing, your family no?
Yeah, it's my family.
But it's a sad story. Oh my god. Ang hirap.
Bakit niya yan pinili?
I think it was two years ago when I moved out of the house
because it was a chaos.
So I needed to break away from everyone
that's, you know...
You know, dagdag pa yung family and personal life
when you're transitioning...
It's very difficult to control your emotions.
And you just want to veer away
from those negative vibes.
So now this photo,
it's a Christmas photo
where I just went back home after a year
of not seeing them.
Good photo. Ni-like ko na rin ah.
Kahit hindi ko siya account.
It deserves a like.
Yeah, that's my family.
I'll start nalang para it gets the ball rolling...
Lasing na siya.
At the risk of sounding ignorant ah,
different ba yung being gay from being transgender diba?
Sexuality is who do you go with in bed.
Gender is how you identity yourself.
Being gay is when you present yourself as male.
But you like guys.
Being transgender is when you transition to another gender.
Transition meaning like yung identifying mo as female,
not necessarily na kelangan mo magpa-opera?
No it's more of how you identify or present yourself.
It's not what's underneath down there.
Question. Like, how do you feel when you're confronted
with someone who's transgender?
Yun yung gusto kong malaman from a guy.
-For someone who's straight?
Pano ba sila nagre-react?
Sa friends side naman, like let's say part siya ng barkada ko.
And someone's like "Oh, bakit mo kasama yan?"
For me it shouldn't be a big deal,
kasi regardless kung sino kasama ko,
Would you defend?
Yeah, yeah.
Kasi it happens naman even with immediate family and friends.
Do you have friends...?
Yeah, meron naman.
You hear some people naman,
sasabihin nila parang...
"Don't listen to that guy, to her, kasi trans siya"
or whatever...
So parang ako, rather than listening to the
merits na sinasabi nila or achievements nila,
Di naman fair na gagawin nila yun pero,
you're gonna get someone or vote someone who's straight
pero sobrang backwards ng sinasabi nila,
and just because they're straight?
So parang, ang weird nun for me. 
Regardless kasi kung straight or trans,
kapag may inaape, hindi yun okay with me.
So I'm not trying to be parang
a white knight or something ah.
Siguro ito common to for everyone,
but in terms of jokes like discriminative jokes,
pero alam mong yung intention mo
is joke...
So let's say when it comes to trans people,
alam mo naman yung mga jokes na "Uy baklang to..."
Or how do you feel about it? Do we draw a line na
if one joke isn't okay, all jokes shouldn't be okay?
Yeah I think that's a good point.
For me, it really depends on the relationship of the people.
You got to know each other or you got
to the point where you're comfortable na kayo with each other.
Pero if you're just starting to be friends with the person,
and ganun ka na mag-act,
I think yun yung medyo bothering kasi
"who is this person?".
Wala naman kaming relationship but it felt like an insult
because we don't know each other.
And it goes not just with the LGBT or trans,
but with everyone.
Last question...
If you like someone who's trans,
and you don't know at all...
Would you consider yourself as not straight?
I--I wouldn't. Kasi if we're gonna go back to yung
belief ng tao na they identify as straight.
Let's say alam kong Chinese ako
or Half-Filipino or whatever,
And then out of nowhere--
And ang panget ng example na to ah.
Biglang out of nowhere Pilipino ako
then gusto ko ng pizza, do I parang
"Ay, all this time akala ko Filipino food to,
do I identify as italian?" I don't know.
I still know yung identity ko.
I still know that I'm straight.
Pero all this time, I didn't know that this person was trans.
And at the same time maganda yung relationship namin.
I wouldn't take it against it na
"Ay, zero na lahat yun."
So whether or not she's trans or a female,
you're still straight?
-Yeah, yeah. 
You know, you like someone, it's not because
of what's down there.
It's because of her personality, what she looks like,
how she carries herself...
Great.
-Yeah!
How close I am with people, how I treat other people,
same lang sakanila.Di ako nagch-change.
There are a lot of people that would be against you,
your decision, against what you're doing.
So they judge you based on what they see first hand,
they don't really get to know you first
before they get to conclude
whatever you are.
But if you're really happy about it,
you go for it.
