Kaladkaren sa pagtawag ng ‘SIR’ sa transwoman: Educate NOT Humiliate
Jude Bacalso at Kaladkaren
“ISANG pagpupugay sa iyo, KaladKaren! Sana ganyan din ang maging prinsipyo ng iba mo pang kalahi o kasama sa inyong organisasyon!”
Yan ang isa sa mga nabasa naming komento mula sa isa nating ka-BANDERA patungkol sa naging opinyon ni Kaladkaren sa isyu ng Cebu-based personality na si Jude Bacalso.
Pinuri ng mga netizen ang TV host-actress dahil sa intelligent at makatao niyang saloobin sa pagtrato ni Jude Bacalso na isa ring transgender woman sa waiter na tumawag sa kanya ng “SIR”.
Binanatan at binugbog nang bonggang-bongga sa social media si Jude dahil sa umano’y pagpaparusa niya sa waiter sa isang restaurant sa Cebu matapo siyang i-address na “SIR” sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatayo rito ng halos dalawang oras.
Itinanggi na ng kontrobersyal na transwoman na pinarusahan niya ang waiter pero maraming hindi naniwala sa kanya. Mas lalo pa siyang binatikos nang mag-issue siya ng public apology dahil mukhang hindi naman daw siya sincere.

Sa kanyang Facebook account, nagbigay ng mensahe si Kaladkaren tungkol sa nangyari kay Jude at sa waiter.
“Educate NOT Humiliate,” ang simulang pagbabahagi ng TV host at aktres.
“Sometimes, I still get called ‘sir’… but I know how to choose my battles. When this happens, most of the time, I just smile, be the bigger person and let it pass,” simulang punto ni Kaladkaren.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “Sometimes I answer in jest, ‘ikaw naman kuya/ate, ang ganda ko naman pong sir’ sabay tawanan kami or sometimes I seriously ask them, ‘kapag nakabihis babae pwede tawagin na lang ng ma’am or miss. If you’re not sure po, pwede sila tanungin.’

“Oftentimes, people don’t mean to offend you. Nalilito lang talaga sila. Tinawag kang ma’am or sir because they want to show respect.
“If you don’t agree with how you are addressed, it is up to you to correct it. If you show them respect, respeto din ang ibabalik sa iyo.
“Pero syempre, may iba rin naman talagang gustong mambastos at ibang usapan na iyon,” lahad pa ng news anchor ng TV5.

“Sadly, not everybody is 100% aware of how to use the right pronouns. As members of the community, I believe it is our responsibility to educate others about this.
“We have to let them understand the importance of using the right pronouns for every SOGIE. But educate properly. People commit mistakes… I do also.
“I believe, being kind makes us empathize more with other people. Let’s love and respect one another,” katwiran pa ni Kaladkaren.
Narito ang ilang comments na nabasa namin sa naging pahayag ni Kaladkaren na halos lahat ay papuri sa kanya.
“Agree 100%. Even straight men and women get the same response. Ako nga po babae naman po pero minsan iba rin natatawag sa akin na pronoun. Slipped of the tongue ika nga po. So sana mas maraming maging mabuti sa pag-unawa sa kapwa and mas maging marespeto talaga sa iba. Yun lang po Ms Kaladkaren my idol.”
“Salute to you Ms. KaladKaren…isa sa mga disenteng LGBTQ member.”
“Also do understand that it takes time for everyone to accept your preferences. Some people may agree or disagree regardless if you educate them. That’s their belief and we should also respect them instead of forcing it. Move on and project that positivity to those who are willing to be educated.”
“People don’t mean to offend you, nalilito lang talaga sila. -perfectly said!”
“Eto pinaka clazz na explanation nabasa ko. Yung iba kasi pumatol naden, binully nadin yung kapwa nila. wala na sila pinagkaiba. Good job Jervs! Proud of you always!
“In the same way, public humiliation by posting people online is not the only way to educate people who wronged other people. Gigil tlaga tayo pag may nagkamali. It’s as if nakaabang lang tayo for the next mistake. We can’t fight fire with fire.”
