I was a judge for the Miss Gay Phillippines pageant about 10 years ago. I thought it strange that they called the ladyboys (baclas) Gay but there ya go.

Hmm..Interesting. I know what you meant meatloaf. But evidently, there are great cultural differences between the USA (where everyone has a name/tag for everything) vs. the Philippines having but ONE term for gays, lesbians, bi and transgenders. Being coloniozed by Spain has alot to do with it. So they just lump everyone else under the bakla umbrella like how we call the GLBT community here in the US.

Filipinos are very tolerant of baclas and bayuts (different names for TS Girls) but they are definitely confined to certain professions: hairstylists, pageant directors, stylists, etc. But there are quite a few beautiful TS girls that are 100% passable.

Its actually spelled Bakla. LOL Bayuts right. As for professions, its stereotype casting. Because you're bakla everyone expect you to either be one of the folowing:

1. Hairdresser/Cosmetologist
2. Drag performer at gay bars
3. Stand up commedians
4. Choreographers
5. Stylist
6. Visual artist
7. Creative director for Ad agencies
8. Artist
9. Designer
10. Personal assistant

The list goes on..And as far as only a few were passable..You must have went to the wrong (Low Budget) pageant (The one's held on the streets not an auditorium and televised). Like the one's pictured below which isnt that bad by the way considering tis was a provincial search held in Tagbilaran City not the capital, Manila.

LOL Manila's 5 prettiest was one tough contest with 3,000 plus beautiful girls and 95% are all young and passable (mostly college crowd and girls who work as show girls in Japan). Winners wins huge cash prizes, trips and a chance to compete for Miss TS International (held in Japan) now called Miss International Queen. ;)

I was a judge in Cebu and it was more of a community event. It was not THE big pageant in Manila that's for sure. But you're right that I've been to some of the big hotel dance clubs in Manila and the bayuts are 100% passable.

Here's another one: Miss Gay Bohol (Bohol Islands which is down south still not Manila).

Oh and to ADD: Filipino's are tolerant is correct but not respectful of them! :evil:
