The Cases of Jessa Remiendo and Ebeng Mayor
About this Episode
In this Pride Month episode, I cover two cases involving a trans woman and a trans man, respectively. I talk about Jessa Remiendo from Pangasinan and Ebeng Mayor from Quezon City. I want to issue one of many trigger warnings at this point as some of the details in these cases are truly upsetting.
***
For the past two years or so, I have refused to cover cases of our fellow Filipinos within the LGBTQIA community during this month because I thought I'd be doing more harm than good. But in the wake of so many recent killings of trans people in the Philippines and worldwide curtailing of rights of trans people and other members of the LGBTQIA community, I made the call to finally feature these two cases that highlight just how vulnerable the community is.
I hope you find time to reflect on these cases and step outside of your comfort zone to truly understand the plight of our kababayans in the Philippines who are part of the LGBTQIA community. It is easy to not see the problems and issues they face when you are not part of this vulnerable community, so please keep an open mind and be willing to learn.
