Manila, 17 August—Filipino transgender woman Gretchen Diez is at the forefront of something remarkable. After being barred from using the women’s restroom in a mall in Quezon City, she is now leading the charge in elevating to the national stage the discussion of LGBTQ+ rights issues, specifically transgender women’s rights. Quezon City, which has an ordinance prohibiting such discriminatory actions, is the perfect battle ground for this fight. Now, we can test the effectivity of such local pronouncements, and in the process, be able to pinpoint areas for improvement and collaboration.
