Activity 1

Answer the following questions:

1. What is your Biological Sex?

My biological sex is Female

2. What is your Sexual Orientation?

My sexual orientation is Heterosexual (straight) and I’m attracted to males.

3. What is your Gender Identity?

Woman/female is my perspective of myself

4. What is your Gender Expression?

I express myself as a feminine/girl.

5. What are the social issues in the Philippines that you have observed regarding sexuality?

I’ll just give one issue that can covered multiple aspects and this is the SOGIE BILL also referred to as
Anti-discrimination Bill. This bill speaks to the thirst equality of other gender in our country. It may in be
on the hindrances of job employment-related access, denying access to public programs or services,
refusing admission, expelling or dismissing a person from educational institutions due to their SOGIE
(sexual orientation, gender identity and expression),also “verbal or written abuse, unjust
detention/involuntary confinement, denying access to facilities, and illegalizing formation of groups that
incite SOGIE-related discrimination.

6. What changes would you suggest to address the issue that you have observed?

For me there is no problem if we allow and accept others in their own desired gender as long as they
have good will and great intentions, I can’t see any proposition to integrate them in the society. There
are many laws that may apply if they violate our legislation, but refusing their freedom is such a rude
act. It may be sounds complicated but there will be no change in any profiling documents just the
acceptance and support to each other matters.
