GRETCHEN DIEZ AT VIVIAN VELEZ
Vivian Velez took a swipe at controversial transgender Gretchen Diez on her Facebook account.
“I believe if you have the male parts you go to the males’ bathroom and if you have the female parts you go to a ladies room and that’s just the way we were raised.
“I have the utmost respect for LGBQT community but we also demand respect for our privacy. Safe space for natural women is paramount. And, it’s not about discrimination but it’s about propriety.
“Sensationalizing Diez demand for acceptance will not help either especially when someone has lost a living because she was protecting women’s rights to privacy and safety.
“Let’s understand first what is a transgender? A person whose sense of identity does not correspond with their birth sex – for instance, a man who, despite having male genitalia, feels he is a woman – is considered transgender.
“Emphasis on ‘male genitalia’… a simplistic understanding to keep things in perspective.”
That was Vivian’s meaningful aria which drew support from netizens.
“Kung minsan may mga bagay din na over the limit na ung mga karapatang hinihingi ng LGBT community since alam na tanggap na sila sa society pero may mali pa rin eh! Sa parte ng ating gobyerno medyo wag naman po masyado itolerate ang mga demands nila komo bakla o tomboy sila dapat na igalang sila?
“Eh papano naman ung karapatan ng mga babae at lalaki na straight may karapatan din naman sila at igalang din ang kasarian nila hindi lang bakla at tomboy at kapag CR na ang issue, ang CR ng mga babae ay para lamang sa kanila at irespeto po natin hindi ung ginawa para sa mga transgender.
“Dati hindi naman ganyan, noong araw walang nambabastos ng CR ng babae ngayon na lang sa panahon ngayon sumobra na ang demands ng mga third sex hindi naman lahat, ung iba lang po medyo sumosobra na! Hanggat maari bawasan po ng gobyerno ang masyado pag babysit sa mga LGBT!” said one guy.
