Colonialism robbed people of their tolerance, and now the imperial core is blaming their intolerance on their supposed "backwardness" to help legitimate neocolonialism

Truly disgusting

Our Filipino ancestors had four genders. You'd describe them in modern parlance as masculine male, masculine female, feminine male, feminine female.

IDK if 'Bakla' has been reclaimed or not, but before it was turned into a derogatory term, it was the name of a gender (describing a feminine male).

So Femboy and Tomboy are both separate genders?

Were separate genders (as in, it was unanimously accepted across the culture). 'Tomboy' still gets used in Tagalog I think?

Huh, you learn something new about your country pre-colonialized/pre-imperialized. Also, what colonialism and imperialsm does to a 3rd world country:
