As someone who lives in the Philippines, let me just say--nice tits!
As to her commentary, if getting accolades for saying the obvious is where we are, good for her.
I think I've mentioned before that one of the things that surprised me when I moved here is that gay and trans folk are accepted in the community at large without shame or ridicule. You can be out and proud, and no one is going to care one way or the other.
That said, I have witnessed some discrimination here. A bar that hires a transgender waitress gets blacklisted and boycotted by a large segment of the expat/foreigner community. I personally don't care, but these guys are adamant about not patronizing any bar with a "ladyboy" on staff. I guess they are afraid they'll get drunk and wake up next to a girl with something extra.

AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
