'Woman Soul': A photo exhibit of Filipina transsexuals
(non-porn)
"Co-organizer Sebastien Farcis said, 'We call these transsexuals lady boys, bading, bakla and we stereotype them as dancers and entertainers. But what if we start looking at who they really are? What if we start listening to them? We would then discover that transsexual women in the Philippines are different from the usual cliché. We must listen to their stories, because only knowledge stops discrimination.'"

Thanks for the interesting story. It's disturbing that the idea of male-on-male rape doesn't exist as a legal concept in the Phillippines.
