Hey hey hey!!! Behave yourself! You had to touch on that subject, hadn't ya Miss Pea? Do not mess with my Filipino ladiebois! By god I love 'em. I love you anyways. Die-Hard Trump Supporter
Pea would you like to interview a pretty transgender? Send me your email or some place I can send you a picture or a Skype address? She's/he's from Bacoor, Philippines.
@@reluctantnabi ...your ignorance is raw and brutal....I feel sorry for you my friend...I was brainwashed before...just like you....thank goodness I was able to free my mind....yours is still bound by the heavy chains of religious IGNORANCE
Omg!! A year has passed! Hi Ms.Pea! This is Pathy. Thank you for having me in one of your vlogs. I just laughed at my stuttering moments. 😁 Makes me think that my speaking skills improve now.
Wow! You are so beautiful! I plan to move to The Philippines from Texas in a couple of years. But if I were moving now, you're exactly the kind of girl I've always dreamed of! I'd definitely be trying to take you off the market! :)
Your attentiveness & seriousness during the interviews is that of a seasoned professional interviewer. Extremely tastefully done as well as educating the viewers to a non discriminating understanding of transgender issues. Another facet on your diamond Your notification photo cracked me up
Thanks Rogue! And that’s my job - to present all facets of life here in my country 😊 Of course, both pictures on the thumbnail are me, but the ‘male’ version was run through a gender-changing app (I think I like myself as a woman much more, though) 😊
You are so good at what you do Pea. I’m amazed that a TV channel in the Philippines hasn’t contracted you yet. You’re a very sensitive and natural interviewer who listens, offers encouragement and empathy and always asks the right questions. Excellent work Pea.
I agree. She already has 4 years of vlogging and news experience. She should get a job with a news station or at least a network. Very professional. I know some news people personally. I am from Syracuse NY where many famous news people came from due to Syracuse University excellent media program thry majored in. I hear that all the time. For Pea, her natural experience and talent without a college degree in media communications. Maybe bit harder to get. Besides that already has a lot of subscribers and thumb ups and comments thst she is actually earning US money considering UA-cam is an American company. As for me.. 27 subscribers.. no money to make yet.. 6 months on yt. Long way to go. So yeah attractive professionally presented. Too bad she has a guy from UK and we will see hiw she handle in UK.
Miss Pea thank you for this video. As a straight man this helped me see them as more human and they want what we all want. Thank once again you have opened my eyes ma’am.
Hi Pea, I thought I would give my point of view, as a man who's girlfriend is a Filipina transgender woman. But 1st I would like to thank you for your youtube channel. The content is always very informative, & it certainly doesn't hurt that the hostess is extremely intelligent, witty & attractive! I met my girlfriend on an online dating site back in Feb 2017. She was upfront about being transgender, & at 1st when we started chatting online, for me it was more out of curiosity. I didn't think that it would ever evolve into something serious. However I really liked the girl, & I have never considered her as anything other than female, even though she has never had any type of reassignment surgery. When we 1st started chatting she wasn't even on hormones, although she has now been since late 2017. Early in 2019, she lost her overseas job, so I invited her to come & spend time with me in Australia. We lived together in a relationship from March 2019 till February 2020. Unfortunately, she had to return back to the Philippines because her visa had expired, & she has been stuck there ever since due to the coronavirus, & I have also been unable to visit her. We are however still in communication every day, & I want to visit her in the Phillippines as soon as the Coronavirus restrictions against travel are lifted. Anyway, anybody who says that "somebody who is born as a male cant be a real woman", I have to disagree. Apart from the bits between her legs, there is absolutely nothing detectably male about her. She has all of the traits of a female, which includes being totally unable to read a map, & having typically female logic (mainly illogical)! She also has the typical Filipina trait of jealousy, & even gets PMT (unfortunately more than just once a month)! She is also very loving & affectionate (when she doesn't have PMT)! When she was here, I had no problem with introducing her to all of my friends & family, & my attitude was, that if anybody has a problem with my dating a transgender woman, then that is THEIR problem, & not mine. When we went out together, I don't think that anybody in the general public would have noticed that she is transgender. She simply looks like a very beautiful woman, & the only giveaway is that her voice is a bit deeper than most women. Unfortunately employment discrimination against transgender women is very bad in the Philippines. I don't get this, because the society in general seems to be largely accepting. However even though most Filipina ladyboys easily pass as women, in most jobs they are forced to dress & present as the sex on their birth certificate, instead of their gender identity. This seems to be very outdated, & just plain wrong & stupid. About the only employment opportunities are call centre work or beauty salons. This forces many transgender women into prostitution, as they cannot find any worthwhile employment. It is about time the Philippines parliament grew some balls, & outlawed this type of workplace discrimination. Even in Fiji, a largely christian very conservative small pacific island nation, where most of the population still lives in tribal villages, transgender persons have more employment opportunities. We went there last year, & had lunch at a cafe. The waitress was clearly transgender, & almost certainly not on hormones (she had a 5 o'clock shaving shadow on her face, & very hairy legs). Yet she was dressed in a dress, with her hair in a bun, & lipstick & other makeup. This would be virtually unthinkable in the Philippines. And for those who think that I must be homosexual for dating a transgender woman, I am not. Firstly homosexual men generally are not attracted to transgender women, & I am certainly not attracted to men. The idea of sleeping with a hairy arsed man sends shivers down my spine!
These interviews moved me. People in the world just need compassion and acceptance. Great job, Pea and thank you to all the lovely guests who told their stories.
Hi Mis Pea your interview with trans gender subject was something to behold. you are a special person, knows how to present your presentation was great and loving and understanding. Just keep doing what you’re doing, go girl
Another fantastic video. Those interviewed seem to be better than many North American women. The way you presented makes a person to think to be less judgmental and more respectful of others. It appears from your interviews that there is an honesty about the situation.
Pea, this is my first day watching your videos, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with your articulation, demeanor, and professionalism. Whether it's a fun, light topic or a more serious one like this one, you do a fantastic job. You have a career as an in-depth journalist in your future...
Hi Pea! Outstanding episode! You are the only interviewer I have ever seen take on this subject in such an even handed, sensitive, yet direct way. I learned a few things yet again; including from other comments. I have often been uncomfortable with homosexual and transgender people, though I have been acquainted with many over the years. I have had to remind myself of my own principles in the past. I have finally become more accepting in recent years. My philosophy of People are People: accept them as they are and as they behave ; do no harm if none is warranted and don’t tolerate harmful behavior around me, this has helped me improve myself. Odd that I hardly thought of homosexuality when it was extremely common in my professional environment, it only affected me in people I met in a personal capacity. I respect you very much for the way you approach difficult and controversial subjects!
True. Some in the U.S. just look like a man with a wig and dress on. Those ladyboys over there look much more feminine. I think there muscle structure, to being with, is just more petite.
Ms.Pea this turned out to be a very interesting topic. Particularly considering how religious the Philippines is. As usual you present a topic I don’t know much about or ever thought much about. Yet it was very engaging. You do a great job of asking excellent questions in a respectful way. I really enjoy your content.Your intelligence and humor are always on full display and it is radiant. Please keep up the great work.
Yes, it is very important not to teach regular normal morals! Christianity has norms, so of course it should be banned. If you teach your children Christian morals, they might get some idea that men are men and women are women. That would be awful!
Thanks for another great video. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live everyone just wants to be loved. You do a great job of sharing cultural differences and helping people be more understanding!
Interesting comment about the culture pre colonial times, transgenders were revered and admired by the society there. I think they knew something our modern day society has forgotten. These are awesome human beings, thank you Pea for highlighting and educating us 😀👍
I've heard about this before that transgenders have been a respected part of Philippine cultures for hundreds of (or more) years.I met one online once,had a chat and he was pretty cool chick.
Amazing video such beautiful people ive been to the Philippines and met many ladyboys they are very friendly and beautiful people no one should discriminate against them god bless them all 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️
I’m late to this but I appreciated these interviews. I am only familiar with transgender in PI being very flamboyant and Jokie Jokie with me as a foreigner. These three ladies were very eloquent and beautiful as well. I can feel empathy for them and they made some good points. Regardless of people’s feelings about them, they only want to be loved and love in return.
All the ladies were very passable and beautiful; they will have zero issues finding men wanting to date them; men love dating passable pre opt transwomen...And they of course love westerner too..Trans porn is very popular and male porn stars are very comfortable loving passable transwomen; and it makes regular guys comfortable dating transwomen...Men are attracted to their femininity; which means transwomen are cis women in the eyes of men..And soon men will remove them off DL...
Thanks for giving the interview. You are a very attractive woman. You are also very brave. There are many who go through life not brave enough to be who they truly want to be, because they are worried what others might think & say about them. Always be true to yourself, & dont let any haters or bigots get you down. You are much better than they are!
Thank you for inviting me Ms. Pea to be part of your YT content. This is such a very controversial topic I know someone will criticize us but all I can see about this content is it will give us a great impact that people around the worl could understand and appreciate us. 😇
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I hope new opportunities will come your way soon! Also your voice surprised me with how feminine you sounded!
# Just sad that it is generally seen as "controversial" Arjane, if we all learned to live and let live the world would be a better place.Your interview was very interesting.
Hi Arjane. I just wanted to say you have a beautiful feminine voice. Quite often I've seen ladyboys who looked like beautiful women but sounded like men. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
A very helpful video. I am from the UK and my partner is a trans-Filippo, we will be meeting up again in BKK later this year. When you love a person, you fully support and care for her, and there is nothing better than walking hand in hand with nobody any the wiser.
Well done for this video . All the girls seemed really nice and actually if all us hairy arsed men behaved as thoughtfully as these girls then the world might be a nicer place 🤷♂️
I have found the love of my life with a Filipina trans,she is the kindest person and grateful to be treated as an equal and a partner,I also found that they have so much love to give, and let a man especially western men ,who were raised to always be super macho,love with a freedom and intensity that just isnt seen in the west. I am a straight male,divorced many years ago,I fell in love with my filipina online and flew out to meet her in person.She was everything I could ever want in a spouse,and more.I watched many of your videos P before I went and they were a terrific help! From your tips on phones to calling it when you said she WILL be at the airport! In my case thats all I wanted.I am truly happy.Thank you for this video more people need to understand that there is much more to male and female than parts.My girl is the most beautiful woman I have ever been with,and I would not change one thing about her. Thank you for all your advice and videos! Part of me feels I would not have landed my love without your help!
Thanks for sharing your story. My wife is a Thai trans woman. I wish more men would be open about their love for trans women and stand by their partners. It would make the lives of trans women so much better. Their lives are certainly difficult enough.
Thankyou pea. I have to admit that this topic is uncomfortable to me. but I feel that everyone should be who they are and be excepted and loved for who they are.Thankyou again for bringing these topics to us so we can hear the stories of there lives. I believe the only way to stop prejudice is Education. so not only are you our bartender you are our teacher.
Thanks SO much for the comment, Mark! I tried to be as even-handed and non-judgmental as I hoped my viewers would be, and even if it makes us uncomfortable, it’s something to be discussed because it’s a reality of life here 😊
You are like the John Stossle of the Philippines...you go from controversial subject to controversial subject without any hesitation. Good job. You handled it professionally
Another great video Pea! I’m so impressed how you can handle such sensitive and controversial subject matter and maintain your objectivity. You never cease to amaze me 😍
Listening to transgenders speak on their lives and issues they deal with only leaves me with a lot of sympathy for them. First, dealing with rejections from the family.. As a single father, one thing I am absolutely certain of is that my son will receive my unwavering love, support, and belief in him no matter what his sexuality and/or gender identity one day might be.. and I can assure you he won’t ever have to question that. Second, hearing Arjane describe the insecurities she feels in a relationship really bums me out too.. in order to have a healthy relationship, it’s so important for both partners be able to eliminate these types of insecurities to form deep levels of trust and bonding.. as a transgender I can only imagine how much more challenging this is, and it makes me sad. Finally, bathroom issues.. society really at its finest here trying to cope with this gem of a problem.. I won’t go further than that. Thanks for another great one Pea. Unfortunately compassion for the souls of transgender men and woman is often overlooked, and they‘re quickly dehumanized by insecure men, women, and these wonderful self-righteous religious institutions. Keep doin your thing Pea, much love for ya.
You're right Jay Cee...though it's a lot more common in the USA for parents to throw their gay or transgender kids out of the home at ages of say 12 to 17. Filipino parents may not all agree with their kids on those issues but I think most of them would be shocked at how many gay or transgender kids end up working as prostitutes to survive because their family forced them out of the house at such a young age simply for being who they are. I have never understood how anyone could throw their kid out on the street. I was lucky enough to have parents who, though they didn't abide any misbehavior, wouldn't have dreamed of throwing me out at that age unless I actually tried to kill them.
How do you suppose someone makes the decision to be a transgender? Just based upon how they feel or do body parts matter? These people take hormones which wouldn't make sense if they "feel" like a woman but are actually a man. Don't you think that if a biological man took testosterone instead of female hormones it might make a big difference? I have two kids and they have never had a question about who they are because I am secure in my person. I have witnessed with my own two eyes little boys who have been treated like girls and I see that as child abuse. It causes issues that will lead to life long pain.
Wow Pea! What a beautiful but regretfully nowadays a controversial subject. I love that you are sharing your spotlight with these women. The world, but most definitely my native country America, needs to understand these issues regardless of political affiliation. Kudos pea!
Thank you for the informative video and I also enjoyed my time in Thailand where the Ladyboys live accepted in the village. Very different to Australia and thank you for the ladies you interviewed. Great video Pea xo
I totally respect your empathy and your total sensitivity to the issue of this topic and the respect and love you show all your interviewees you're the best
Your best video you’ve produced so far. Thought provoking, yet respectful and you asked your guests some very difficult questions. Very professional and well done Pea. I’ve seen first hand how Transgenders are far more openly accepted in the Philippines and are simply a normal part of the community. I wish you could have shown that in your video but I understand the limits of your format. Shoot a wedding in the Philippines isn’t a wedding without a half a dozen Ladyboys prepping the bride to be for her big moment walking down the aisle or it’s just not a town fiesta without the Ladyboys doing a lot of the heavy lifting organizing the events. It’s so dramatically different and far better than how trans people are treated in the West. I always feel comfortable around the Ladyboys when I go to the Philippines to visit my wife’s family and I’m struck by how many are of way above average intelligence and I also enjoy their wit and bawdy humor though I sense sometimes they use that as a cover for a deep internal sadness they feel. There’s no doubt that they suffer the consequences of making a horrendously difficult life decision and I feel sad for them in that respect but it’s also nice to see they are mostly treated with dignity and respect as compared to the West. Well done Pea. I’m glad you did this video and gave it the effort and respect it deserves.
Wow, thanks so much, Mott, and thank you for sharing your experiences too! And I’m amazed that you didn’t slip in one single smartass comment into your post Hahahahaha
Such respectful and illuminating interviews. Looks like people that just want to live a normal life like everyone else. I don’t understand why others care so much about how they live their personal lives.
Pea! We should have done a Skype call. A lot of people don't even realize Marla is trans. You're really doing great Pea. 😎🌴✌🏻Stay well sis and keep on keeping on! 💙 These were some great, informative experiences that I hope will give men a better idea of who these people are.
Awesome Pea, done with great understanding and sensitivity. LGBTI issues are a human rights issue. The system must change and accommodate LGBTI rights as a matter or urgency. Much unnecessary suffering will be avoided.
I admire you as a great journalist with the full empathy to do this topic! It makes more sense than any western discussion I stumbled upon about that...
I can't believe i was mean to Transgenders when I was young and nieve this opened my eyes up alot to what Transgenders have to go true i feel so bad Thanks Pea for teaching us more on this subject I appreciate it
A very good video. I know a number of Transgendered individuals in the US and for the most part they are very good people. I have met a Ladyboy when I was in Cambodia and she was a nice person. It sucks that people are so bigoted that they treat people differently.
@@TheFilipinaPea I can understand that. I have argued with someone in the trans community who wants to call me CIS. I told them that I don't want to be called that. I will call them whatever they want and don't want to be called CIS. They tries to say that is how they could truly refer to me as. I've pretty much told them to get stuffed with that term.
@@buellrichardson5222 cis/cisgender simply means "not transgender". Because trans comes from a word that means to be on the other side of something, and cis means to be on this side of it. So cisgender means your gender is the same as your sex and how you've always grown up being treated/socialized as, compared to transgender meaning a person's gender is different from what people thought they were based on their body. I know some people think that cis is a slur or something, but it is purely a word used to indicate that a person is not transgender. It's not negative or positive, it's just a descriptive word to help communicate a person's experience with gender and whether or not it matches what was initially written on their birth certificate.
You realy are a good one sister...a big help...i just watched the 2 visa videoes...I lost my Thai wife of 30+ years in 2020...to cancer...The Thailand chapter of my life has come to an end with her passing...now im back in England...waiting for lockdown to end...and your videos are a big help in updating on the situation re the Philippines...as i think i will spend the last chapter of my life in your country...Godwilling...what draws me are first ...your nations christian values...second...the fact that almost everyone..unlike Thailand...speaks english...and third...Godwilling...I may find a second chance at finding...love again...in a real way...before i get to old myself...Im still only 56...going on 30...being a scuba instructor keeps one fit...and young at heart...so...again sister...thanks so much for your efforts...your doing a good thing...much love in Jesus...Godbless you.
I do not understand why anyone would hate or discriminate against these poor people! If you don't like them, ignore them. As human beings, they have every right to live their lives however they desire!
I don’t understand it either, but if you look at the number of thumbs down, you’ll see there’s a lot of raw hate. Something tells me they weren’t giving thumbs down to my video, which I thought was fair and well-produced
Another very informative and interesting video. Great job Pea! Things here in the west are very different, this’ll be very helpful for westerners traveling to your country.
Thank you for answering on this subject honestly! I'm a MD and have always wanted to understand things as they are! I'm not gay or have any desire to be with anyone other than a women. But I want to understand and learn what I do not know! When I have a chance to talk with someone gay or transgender's they have told me they always felt that way!
Thank you for the educational video. Your interview was excellent. I now have a better understanding of the trans issues. I wish all of the people who participated the best of luck.
You're amazing! Highly intelligent and outspoken. Very very informative, thank you! I love my Filipina very deeply! Thank you for helping me understand her culture.👍😘😘
Wow what a fine interview! You Are not afraid to go in depth with questions! Your kindness and openness comes across.we need to be kind to everyone! people in Thailand are very open to transg.they just let by as" So what "
@@TheFilipinaPea and you' do esp. when you ask about sexual changes.You are so cool !I think you push the envelope.We appreciate this cos questions we can't ask!Try what we call Tom And Dee in Thailand.2 gals talking to u.We have so many here I think they are lovely.Accepted by most as" So What" >>.do you still have your male parts.......well done.
Much healthier attitudes to gender fluidity in Asia than in the West. In a lot of ways Filipino society is more conservative than Europe or America but there's more acceptance of who people are. I think the only more tolerant society regarding Transgender is on the Pacific Islands ,places like Tahiti and Samoa where "Fa'afafine are considered a third sex. Great video as always Pea,very eloquent and intelligent people.
Well Miss Pea I have to say you did an awesome job on this video. You are the second vlogger this week that I have seen doing interviews with transgender girls. I have chatted and met several transgender girls and I find them to be very good people who just want to have a normal life. When I first learned of transgenders I had mixed thoughts but I did research and chatted to many in chat rooms and learned a lot. I have met filipino transgenders in person and enjoyed spending time with them just as I would enjoy spending time with anyone else. For those that don't understand just do a google search there is tons of info out there. I find that most transgenders and not judgement toward others and most don't really care what others thing of them they just want to live their lives. I know they prefer straight guys and if a straight guy is attracted to a transgendered girl it does not make him gay it just means he is attracted to her looks and personality. It is time people got out of the middle ages and open their minds. Transgender are people to and deserve to be respected just like anyone else. For those who say they are only like that to get money from foreigners are wrong. Sure some are just like there are some girls and guys that do whatever they can to scam people for money. Live and let live. Thanks for the great video. BTW you look very lovely in that black outfit doing the interviews. Stay safe there
@@TheFilipinaPea Any time Pea. Love watching your vlogs as you tell it like it is and you give a lot of helpful info. Maybe some day will get a chance to meet you in person. Stay safe
F Pea: That was a powerful podcast and your guest did a great job conducting themselves on a professional level. It appears that they are blending as they fit in the society. Good job!
This is a great video Pea. I feel here in The West from what I see online, people worry about biological men using girl's' bathrooms. But Western Transgender people often come off as more masculine. I believe some Transgender here act in a less reserved and feminine way too. Not all of course. The ladies you interviewed on this video are level headed, calm and very charming. Thank you for your open mindedness.
I think you should interview more of these transgenders as in a way it can change public opinion. I met a young transgender in Thailand, she worked as a hotel front desk manager. She was intelligent as well as beautiful. She was very open and honest to me about herself and I learned a great deal from her. She explained when she made the discovery of herself and when she went through all her surgeries. Yes she was totally transitioned and happy with her choice. She said it may be accepted in Thailand but they still cannot get married or change their ID by law.
I love how you are willing to delve into controversial topics. But what makes your channel top notch is your insightful and articulate presentation. A few years ago I came across a channel by a Filipina geared towards explaining life and love in the Philippines. I thought it was a good idea since this is something many Western men are interested in. But she never got many subscribers because she was obviously nervous on camera and not also to express herself well. You, on the other hand, are like an expert broadcast journalist who knows what you want to say and is able to do so in a way that is precise and entertaining. Keep up the good work and maybe some day you will be an YT superstar!
I'm actually going to the Philippines in June to meet my gf who is a Ladyboy. I can't wait to meet her. We've been talking now to each other for 3 yrs now. This would be the first time we meet. I'm super excited on meeting her.
Good topic, I know that here in the lower states most ppl will turn a blind eye away from even touching this subject. Only a few of us understand one thing. All living ppl have the right to love and be loved. However they desire it. Only God can judge me. Personally, I think they are beautiful. Inside and out. And I am happy to see that they Express themselves how they are most happy. More power to them. Their beauty is unbelievable most times. I live by a model in my life. PPL DO WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY. as long as they don't hurt others. I'm ok with that. I do not have any transgender friends. I wouldn't mind having some. Thanks pea for touching the subject. And thanks to the girls that came on In to your video. 👍👍👍
I am a straight male from scotland uk , i have been staying in Philippiens for 16 years for my winter holidays ,i had never experienced the open attitude of the ( bakla ) in the west , it is refreshing to see there happiness , they always seem happy , i now see there is some discrimination , it sad to know this,
Really informative video Pea. Paul recently interviewed a "Ladyboy" on the Old Dog channel. I feel yours was a little more informative, as you got different points of view. As always, well done.
I'm dating a filipina. It's been 16 months. I ll be coming there as soon as the Philippines government let's me. I'm 95 percent sure my girl is legit. Shes great
Thank you it was a great video. The Filipino people as a whole are very kind and unassuming. Before COVID-19 struck I spent a lot of time in Manila and Northeast Thailand. The lady boys that I have met in Manila just want what any woman wants; they are marriage minded and family oriented. Family is of the upmost importance to Filipinos but Unfortunately due to Catholicism they suffer with much guilt about being transgender. The lady boys that I know in Northeast Thailand are all Buddhist so there is no issue or guilt with being transgender. They are able to get jobs, use women’s bathrooms and also have a reputation as excellent workers. Please note: I am not talking about the red light district workers in both countries. The every day lady boys as were interviewed in this video seemed very representative of the lady boys that I have met and I know in metro manila. Thank you again for this video it was an extremely fair representation.
Another very informative video, Miss Pea. All seriousness aside, sometimes I feel like a handsome man trapped in an ugly man's body but, knowing how kind and considerate you are, you'll accept me the way I am. Thanks for that.
The people that you interviewed seemed really kind and sweet. I hope the very best for them and that they find the love and acceptance that we all hope for. Great episode Pea!
The only love and acceptance anyone ever needs is from God through Jesus, the bible, God's Word, says God is love, he doesn't just HAVE love, HE IS love.
hi Miss Pea I have been following you for a few weeks and I think you are fabulous specially with your commentating and your communication skills simply magnificent go girl....!!!
Congratulations on providing astute, realistic and historical insight on the culture of Ladyboys in the Philippines. After viewing the interviews and interpreting the information presented, I think you have provided a keen and thought-provoking perspective on what it means to be transgender there. This also personalizes the ladies and allows an individual to recognize and acknowledge one "to live and let live" in a particularly tolerant Filipino culture. I have visited your country and saw this first-hand. Your journalistic qualities shine in this video!
what 'genius' came up with 'ladyboy', pathetic, it, like 'transgender' is a contradictions to itself. It itself makes no sense as a so-called 'word', which it is not a word, Satan just making up 'words' to try to justify his satanic cultures. I guarantee most people the world over don't even know what a 'ladyboy' is, probably 'transgender' also. They're not ladies, they have penises,, they're male. and if they cut their penis off, no matter what they do, they will always be male. They were born male, they'll die male, and they'll stand before Jesus in eternity as a male -no ladyboys in heaven. And some will be with Jesus for ever as a male, and many will burn in hell for ever AS A MALE. Only God is God, only he decides-makes the rules-man is nothing-he doesn't get to choose.
Bravo! For touching upon this sensitive and controversial topic. Also Bravo to the transgenders that came forward so bravely to tell their side of the story. Well the need of the hour is acceptance and change. I wish people in Government give them some rights... after all everyone has a right to exist. Separate comfort rooms at public places for trans, equal job opportunity, same sex marriage laws etc would go a long way. Very nicely presented Ms Pea. I wish you would add one more question...what happens currently when they have to list down gender in their passports? OMG ...it's one thing to be discriminated against in your own country...what happens when you land up in another country that views you in a different light? I feel for them. It's quite a difficult situation.
Im glad you have raised the issue of transgender ladies..Filipino ladyboys are beautiful friendly and polite ,family oriented. Very friendly to foreign men..thats why foreign men like to meet and have relationships with ladyboys..very loving and caring to there partners..beautiful lady your interviewing..great video,s..
Great interviews showing the human side of the Ladyboy topic. The fact that Arjane could not follow her dream of teaching was very sad my girl is a teacher there in the Philippines and I know that it is almost like a calling for most of the people who teach. It certainly is not for the money. Also when Patrica said she never had a boy friend it kind of broke my heart. I still don't know why we care about how people look or who they love good people are good people.
@@TheFilipinaPea am very sorry people disliked this video. People are people and love is love. Admiring a certain look is no-ones business, and these people deserve to be treated with as much respect as anyone else Keep up the great videos.

Pea would you like to interview a pretty transgender? Send me your email or some place I can send you a picture or a Skype address? She's/he's from Bacoor, Philippines.
I am sorry if God wish you to be a woman you will have grow from baby with vagina.
btw, there is no god
@@reluctantnabi ...your ignorance is raw and brutal....I feel sorry for you my friend...I was brainwashed before...just like you....thank goodness I was able to free my mind....yours is still bound by the heavy chains of religious IGNORANCE
Omg!! A year has passed! Hi Ms.Pea! This is Pathy. Thank you for having me in one of your vlogs. I just laughed at my stuttering moments. 😁 Makes me think that my speaking skills improve now.
Pathy!!! Wonderful to hear from you! I hope you’re doing well, and your English was just fine during the interview 👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea btw, i'm finally home in Cebu now. Just in case you didn't see me at Robinson Dumaguete. 😊

Hi pathy
Wow! You are so beautiful! I plan to move to The Philippines from Texas in a couple of years.
But if I were moving now, you're exactly the kind of girl I've always dreamed of! I'd definitely be trying to take you off the market! :)
Your attentiveness & seriousness during the interviews is that of a seasoned professional interviewer.
Extremely tastefully done as well as educating the viewers to a non discriminating understanding of transgender issues.
Another facet on your diamond
Your notification photo cracked me up
Thanks Rogue! And that’s my job - to present all facets of life here in my country 😊
Of course, both pictures on the thumbnail are me, but the ‘male’ version was run through a gender-changing app (I think I like myself as a woman much more, though) 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea Are you saying that you are trans too?
@@TheFilipinaPea so do we!!
@@TheFilipinaPea ah I didn't pick up that the "man" was actually you transgendered by an app. Well done! Tuluyan na akong naloko!
She is lovely but too small for me.
In my town call me 3 feet.
You are so good at what you do Pea. I’m amazed that a TV channel in the Philippines hasn’t contracted you yet. You’re a very sensitive and natural interviewer who listens, offers encouragement and empathy and always asks the right questions. Excellent work Pea.
@@keithdavidson4723 Man became a woman?
I agree. She already has 4 years of vlogging and news experience. She should get a job with a news station or at least a network. Very professional. I know some news people personally. I am from Syracuse NY where many famous news people came from due to Syracuse University excellent media program thry majored in. I hear that all the time. For Pea, her natural experience and talent without a college degree in media communications. Maybe bit harder to get. Besides that already has a lot of subscribers and thumb ups and comments thst she is actually earning US money considering UA-cam is an American company. As for me.. 27 subscribers.. no money to make yet.. 6 months on yt. Long way to go. So yeah attractive professionally presented. Too bad she has a guy from UK and we will see hiw she handle in UK.
Pea always after the facts and truth to educate her viewers. I feel better equipped for my Philippines visit in the future. No BS here! Thanks Pea!
You’re the only BS that I can tolerate, BS 😂
Miss Pea thank you for this video. As a straight man this helped me see them as more human and they want what we all want. Thank once again you have opened my eyes ma’am.
Thanks so much Terrence!
You are not straight.
Hi Pea, I thought I would give my point of view, as a man who's girlfriend is a Filipina transgender woman. But 1st I would like to thank you for your youtube channel. The content is always very informative, & it certainly doesn't hurt that the hostess is extremely intelligent, witty & attractive!
I met my girlfriend on an online dating site back in Feb 2017. She was upfront about being transgender, & at 1st when we started chatting online, for me it was more out of curiosity. I didn't think that it would ever evolve into something serious. However I really liked the girl, & I have never considered her as anything other than female, even though she has never had any type of reassignment surgery. When we 1st started chatting she wasn't even on hormones, although she has now been since late 2017.
Early in 2019, she lost her overseas job, so I invited her to come & spend time with me in Australia. We lived together in a relationship from March 2019 till February 2020. Unfortunately, she had to return back to the Philippines because her visa had expired, & she has been stuck there ever since due to the coronavirus, & I have also been unable to visit her. We are however still in communication every day, & I want to visit her in the Phillippines as soon as the Coronavirus restrictions against travel are lifted.
Anyway, anybody who says that "somebody who is born as a male cant be a real woman", I have to disagree. Apart from the bits between her legs, there is absolutely nothing detectably male about her. She has all of the traits of a female, which includes being totally unable to read a map, & having typically female logic (mainly illogical)! She also has the typical Filipina trait of jealousy, & even gets PMT (unfortunately more than just once a month)! She is also very loving & affectionate (when she doesn't have PMT)! When she was here, I had no problem with introducing her to all of my friends & family, & my attitude was, that if anybody has a problem with my dating a transgender woman, then that is THEIR problem, & not mine. When we went out together, I don't think that anybody in the general public would have noticed that she is transgender. She simply looks like a very beautiful woman, & the only giveaway is that her voice is a bit deeper than most women.
Unfortunately employment discrimination against transgender women is very bad in the Philippines. I don't get this, because the society in general seems to be largely accepting. However even though most Filipina ladyboys easily pass as women, in most jobs they are forced to dress & present as the sex on their birth certificate, instead of their gender identity. This seems to be very outdated, & just plain wrong & stupid. About the only employment opportunities are call centre work or beauty salons. This forces many transgender women into prostitution, as they cannot find any worthwhile employment. It is about time the Philippines parliament grew some balls, & outlawed this type of workplace discrimination.
Even in Fiji, a largely christian very conservative small pacific island nation, where most of the population still lives in tribal villages, transgender persons have more employment opportunities. We went there last year, & had lunch at a cafe. The waitress was clearly transgender, & almost certainly not on hormones (she had a 5 o'clock shaving shadow on her face, & very hairy legs). Yet she was dressed in a dress, with her hair in a bun, & lipstick & other makeup. This would be virtually unthinkable in the Philippines.
And for those who think that I must be homosexual for dating a transgender woman, I am not. Firstly homosexual men generally are not attracted to transgender women, & I am certainly not attracted to men. The idea of sleeping with a hairy arsed man sends shivers down my spine!
Wow Brant - thanks for sharing your whole story, and your personal insights!!! 😊
That I totally agree with you on all of what you said.
100% a gay man.
Andrew i’ve never been a man
Dude you have a boyfriend 😂
Pea is a true beauty and intelligent!
Thanks💖
These interviews moved me. People in the world just need compassion and acceptance. Great job, Pea and thank you to all the lovely guests who told their stories.
Once again, this was accurate, honest, and useful. Good work.
Hi Mis Pea your interview with trans gender subject was something to behold. you are a special person, knows how to present your presentation was great and loving and understanding. Just keep doing what you’re doing, go girl
Very kind words indeed, Michael 😊
Another fantastic video. Those interviewed seem to be better than many North American women. The way you presented makes a person to think to be less judgmental and more respectful of others. It appears from your interviews that there is an honesty about the situation.
Thanks Brian, and the situation here is so very different from the west that I felt compelled to report on it 😊
How embarrassing. Y'all are down bad 😂
We need more people like you in the USA you really are awesome n incredible. Thank You
Thanks Bill, and maybe someday I’ll see ya there! 😊
Agree and not just in USA , in Italy as well .
She's amazing
Mmmmmm. Well hmmmm.
In Brazil as well.
No Miss. PLEASE!!! Stay away from USA. U R too real . too smart. too good. USA has chosen to be trash. SAD
I have been binge watching your channel in the last few days and I'm falling in love with PH. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us !
Wow, thanks for binging, HM! I’m very flattered! ❤️
You’re an excellent interviewer, and I just love your long hair and brown skin.
Thanks Chyloe!! 😊
Pea, this is my first day watching your videos, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with your articulation, demeanor, and professionalism. Whether it's a fun, light topic or a more serious one like this one, you do a fantastic job. You have a career as an in-depth journalist in your future...
Thanks for that, Les 👍❤️
Very good job on a difficult subject. I salute those three brave ladys!
Thanks for being non-judgmental, Paul 😊
Hi Pea! Outstanding episode! You are the only interviewer I have ever seen take on this subject in such an even handed, sensitive, yet direct way. I learned a few things yet again; including from other comments. I have often been uncomfortable with homosexual and transgender people, though I have been acquainted with many over the years. I have had to remind myself of my own principles in the past. I have finally become more accepting in recent years. My philosophy of People are People: accept them as they are and as they behave ; do no harm if none is warranted and don’t tolerate harmful behavior around me, this has helped me improve myself. Odd that I hardly thought of homosexuality when it was extremely common in my professional environment, it only affected me in people I met in a personal capacity. I respect you very much for the way you approach difficult and controversial subjects!
Thanks so much for your supportive comments, Jeffrey! I appreciate it very much 😊
it's amazing how pretty these guys can make themselves. when caucasians in the west try it they end up looking like caitlin jenner.
Ha
Caucasians age differently they get older and Balder quicker Asians look like lil boys and girls forever
True. Some in the U.S. just look like a man with a wig and dress on. Those ladyboys over there look much more feminine. I think there muscle structure, to being with, is just more petite.
@@tehutibrim594 y did u say ha, lmbo
Hahahaha true
Ate Pea, you always amaze me with your open minded interviews and variety of topics. The world needs more people like you. God bless.
❤️❤️❤️
Ms.Pea this turned out to be a very interesting topic. Particularly considering how religious the Philippines is. As usual you present a topic I don’t know much about or ever thought much about. Yet it was very engaging. You do a great job of asking excellent questions in a respectful way. I really enjoy your content.Your intelligence and humor are always on full display and it is radiant. Please keep up the great work.
Radiant? Now that’s a nice compliment, H2H - thanks!! 😊
An adult can choose how they want to live their life.
A child should not be directed in one way or another on this subject.
Agreed!! 😊
This!!
Yes, it is very important not to teach regular normal morals! Christianity has norms, so of course it should be banned. If you teach your children Christian morals, they might get some idea that men are men and women are women. That would be awful!
Yes
You're 100% correct
Thanks for another great video. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live everyone just wants to be loved. You do a great job of sharing cultural differences and helping people be more understanding!
Thanks Steven, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do - show my culture 😊
Interesting comment about the culture pre colonial times, transgenders were revered and admired by the society there. I think they knew something our modern day society has forgotten. These are awesome human beings, thank you Pea for highlighting and educating us 😀👍
Thanks Mr Mike! It was an interesting video to produce, and took a lot of time!
@@TheFilipinaPea Excellent video 👩Miss Pea, very informative.
🇺🇸🇵🇭
It’s very obvious Pea and to think you do this twice per week! You’re amazing! 😀
I've heard about this before that transgenders have been a respected part of Philippine cultures for hundreds of (or more) years.I met one online once,had a chat and he was pretty cool chick.
Amazing video such beautiful people ive been to the Philippines and met many ladyboys they are very friendly and beautiful people no one should discriminate against them god bless them all 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️
I’m late to this but I appreciated these interviews. I am only familiar with transgender in PI being very flamboyant and Jokie Jokie with me as a foreigner. These three ladies were very eloquent and beautiful as well. I can feel empathy for them and they made some good points. Regardless of people’s feelings about them, they only want to be loved and love in return.
All the ladies were very passable and beautiful; they will have zero issues finding men wanting to date them; men love dating passable pre opt transwomen...And they of course love westerner too..Trans porn is very popular and male porn stars are very comfortable loving passable transwomen; and it makes regular guys comfortable dating transwomen...Men are attracted to their femininity; which means transwomen are cis women in the eyes of men..And soon men will remove them off DL...
HELLOO GUYSSSSSS I WAS THE THIRD PERSON WHO WAS BEEN INTERVIEWED. ^_^ #JUSTSHARING
Patricia! Thanks again for agreeing to an interview. I’m glad I found you 😊
Nice and enlightening to learn your story! Good luck in your future!
Thanks for giving the interview. You are a very attractive woman. You are also very brave. There are many who go through life not brave enough to be who they truly want to be, because they are worried what others might think & say about them. Always be true to yourself, & dont let any haters or bigots get you down. You are much better than they are!
Thank you for talking to us and helping us understand a little bit about your world.
Very informative and eloquent Patricia.
The ladyboys in the Philippines are more of a lady than most American women from my observation.
Hahahahaha
That's Cold Mike, but its actually some truth to that. That is the exact reason I would pick a foreigner over American 100% of the time.
Did you do a full inspection? ;)
With one significant difference
Definitely more feminine that most american women
Thank you for inviting me Ms. Pea to be part of your YT content. This is such a very controversial topic I know someone will criticize us but all I can see about this content is it will give us a great impact that people around the worl could understand and appreciate us. 😇
Arjane Rusiana thank you for telling us your story you have to be very brave to do
Thank you for sharing with us
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I hope new opportunities will come your way soon! Also your voice surprised me with how feminine you sounded!

Just sad that it is generally seen as "controversial" Arjane, if we all learned to live and let live the world would be a better place.Your interview was very interesting.
Hi Arjane. I just wanted to say you have a beautiful feminine voice. Quite often I've seen ladyboys who looked like beautiful women but sounded like men. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
A very helpful video. I am from the UK and my partner is a trans-Filippo, we will be meeting up again in BKK later this year. When you love a person, you fully support and care for her, and there is nothing better than walking hand in hand with nobody any the wiser.
Thanks for making this great video. It helps to understand how transgender women feels and what their problems are.
Well done for this video . All the girls seemed really nice and actually if all us hairy arsed men behaved as thoughtfully as these girls then the world might be a nicer place 🤷♂️
Thanks for your open-mindedness, DD 😊
I have found the love of my life with a Filipina trans,she is the kindest person and grateful to be treated as an equal and a partner,I also found that they have so much love to give, and let a man especially western men ,who were raised to always be super macho,love with a freedom and intensity that just isnt seen in the west. I am a straight male,divorced many years ago,I fell in love with my filipina online and flew out to meet her in person.She was everything I could ever want in a spouse,and more.I watched many of your videos P before I went and they were a terrific help! From your tips on phones to calling it when you said she WILL be at the airport! In my case thats all I wanted.I am truly happy.Thank you for this video more people need to understand that there is much more to male and female than parts.My girl is the most beautiful woman I have ever been with,and I would not change one thing about her. Thank you for all your advice and videos! Part of me feels I would not have landed my love without your help!
Wow, Joe - I’m very flattered, and thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for sharing your story. My wife is a Thai trans woman. I wish more men would be open about their love for trans women and stand by their partners. It would make the lives of trans women so much better. Their lives are certainly difficult enough.
Don't lie. You are a gay man then.
Happy you found true love.
Joe, that's fine, but the truth is you are a gay man with certain tastes.
Hi dear Pea, I must say again that you are brave to discuss such a sensitive topic. Congratulations you managed to do it again! Greetings. 👍😀
Thanks Erwin - yes, tricky indeed!
Thankyou pea. I have to admit that this topic is uncomfortable to me. but I feel that everyone should be who they are and be excepted and loved for who they are.Thankyou again for bringing these topics to us so we can hear the stories of there lives.
I believe the only way to stop prejudice is Education. so not only are you our bartender you are our teacher.
Thanks SO much for the comment, Mark! I tried to be as even-handed and non-judgmental as I hoped my viewers would be, and even if it makes us uncomfortable, it’s something to be discussed because it’s a reality of life here 😊
Good job, Pea. I really felt for your three guests, and wish them the best for the future.
You are like the John Stossle of the Philippines...you go from controversial subject to controversial subject without any hesitation. Good job. You handled it professionally
John/Jane Stossle? Sounds good to me - thanks! 😆
Your programs are fantastic, keep up great work!
@@TheFilipinaPea - such grace and style.
And great natural beauty. 😉
Another great video Pea! I’m so impressed how you can handle such sensitive and controversial subject matter and maintain your objectivity. You never cease to amaze me 😍
Thanks Jim! And that’s my job - to cover life here, whether people like the things I discuss or not 😊
Listening to transgenders speak on their lives and issues they deal with only leaves me with a lot of sympathy for them. First, dealing with rejections from the family.. As a single father, one thing I am absolutely certain of is that my son will receive my unwavering love, support, and belief in him no matter what his sexuality and/or gender identity one day might be.. and I can assure you he won’t ever have to question that. Second, hearing Arjane describe the insecurities she feels in a relationship really bums me out too.. in order to have a healthy relationship, it’s so important for both partners be able to eliminate these types of insecurities to form deep levels of trust and bonding.. as a transgender I can only imagine how much more challenging this is, and it makes me sad. Finally, bathroom issues.. society really at its finest here trying to cope with this gem of a problem.. I won’t go further than that.
Thanks for another great one Pea. Unfortunately compassion for the souls of transgender men and woman is often overlooked, and they‘re quickly dehumanized by insecure men, women, and these wonderful self-righteous religious institutions. Keep doin your thing Pea, much love for ya.
Thanks so much for sharing your views, and for your empathy, Jay Cee! 😊
You're right Jay Cee...though it's a lot more common in the USA for parents to throw their gay or transgender kids out of the home at ages of say 12 to 17. Filipino parents may not all agree with their kids on those issues but I think most of them would be shocked at how many gay or transgender kids end up working as prostitutes to survive because their family forced them out of the house at such a young age simply for being who they are. I have never understood how anyone could throw their kid out on the street. I was lucky enough to have parents who, though they didn't abide any misbehavior, wouldn't have dreamed of throwing me out at that age unless I actually tried to kill them.
How do you suppose someone makes the decision to be a transgender? Just based upon how they feel or do body parts matter? These people take hormones which wouldn't make sense if they "feel" like a woman but are actually a man. Don't you think that if a biological man took testosterone instead of female hormones it might make a big difference? I have two kids and they have never had a question about who they are because I am secure in my person. I have witnessed with my own two eyes little boys who have been treated like girls and I see that as child abuse. It causes issues that will lead to life long pain.
Wow Pea! What a beautiful but regretfully nowadays a controversial subject. I love that you are sharing your spotlight with these women. The world, but most definitely my native country America, needs to understand these issues regardless of political affiliation. Kudos pea!
Thanks Ken, and yes I wish it would not become a political issue
Thank you for the informative video and I also enjoyed my time in Thailand where the Ladyboys live accepted in the village. Very different to Australia and thank you for the ladies you interviewed. Great video Pea xo
Yes, it’s VERY different here! ☺️
I am very proud of you Pea. This is a tough subject and you brought it to the world with the grace and poise only you could bring
We 💘 the Pea. XOXOXO
Thanks Dhenmail - that means a lot to me 😊
Great video PEA.
This is a subject I doubt anyone else would have touched.
Thanks so much! And just wait till you see the other subjects I plan on touching
Hahahahaha
I totally respect your empathy and your total sensitivity to the issue of this topic and the respect and love you show all your interviewees you're the best
Thanks so much, Wayne! It was a tough one to do
Your best video you’ve produced so far. Thought provoking, yet respectful and you asked your guests some very difficult questions. Very professional and well done Pea.
I’ve seen first hand how Transgenders are far more openly accepted in the Philippines and are simply a normal part of the community. I wish you could have shown that in your video but I understand the limits of your format. Shoot a wedding in the Philippines isn’t a wedding without a half a dozen Ladyboys prepping the bride to be for her big moment walking down the aisle or it’s just not a town fiesta without the Ladyboys doing a lot of the heavy lifting organizing the events. It’s so dramatically different and far better than how trans people are treated in the West.
I always feel comfortable around the Ladyboys when I go to the Philippines to visit my wife’s family and I’m struck by how many are of way above average intelligence and I also enjoy their wit and bawdy humor though I sense sometimes they use that as a cover for a deep internal sadness they feel. There’s no doubt that they suffer the consequences of making a horrendously difficult life decision and I feel sad for them in that respect but it’s also nice to see they are mostly treated with dignity and respect as compared to the West.
Well done Pea. I’m glad you did this video and gave it the effort and respect it deserves.
Wow, thanks so much, Mott, and thank you for sharing your experiences too!
And I’m amazed that you didn’t slip in one single smartass comment into your post
Hahahahaha
The Filipina Pea Well some things are too important to joke about. Like peoples lives, family and beer.
Such respectful and illuminating interviews. Looks like people that just want to live a normal life like everyone else. I don’t understand why others care so much about how they live their personal lives.
Pea! We should have done a Skype call. A lot of people don't even realize Marla is trans. You're really doing great Pea. 😎🌴✌🏻Stay well sis and keep on keeping on! 💙 These were some great, informative experiences that I hope will give men a better idea of who these people are.
Thanks TPFU! I’m glad I handled it tastefully, and I trust you’d correct me if I didn’t 😊
Another fantastic video Pea. You did a very good job with the interviews. Keep up the good hard work.
Thanks Clay! Glad you appreciate it!!
Any time Pea
Thank you pea for bringing another good show. Very interesting and your guests were very honest and enlightening.
Thanks Suzanne!
Awesome Pea, done with great understanding and sensitivity. LGBTI issues are a human rights issue. The system must change and accommodate LGBTI rights as a matter or urgency. Much unnecessary suffering will be avoided.
Thanks for your enlightened opinion, Michael 😊
I admire you as a great journalist with the full empathy to do this topic!
It makes more sense than any western discussion I stumbled upon about that...
Thanks so much Neo - you are the ONE! 😆
Thanks for yet another interesting story! I personally know 2 people who transitioned, ftm & mtf. Keep on sharing these stories!
I’ll keep reporting on my culture, and having laughs along the way 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea People are people & everyone is entitled to live their best life they can.
I can't believe i was mean to Transgenders when I was young and nieve this opened my eyes up alot to what Transgenders have to go true i feel so bad Thanks Pea for teaching us more on this subject I appreciate it
That’s okay, Leonidas - we all grow and hopefully we all learn 😊
A very good video. I know a number of Transgendered individuals in the US and for the most part they are very good people. I have met a Ladyboy when I was in Cambodia and she was a nice person. It sucks that people are so bigoted that they treat people differently.
As long as someone doesn’t try to push their agenda on me, I couldn’t care less - I have my own problems to work on 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea I can understand that. I have argued with someone in the trans community who wants to call me CIS. I told them that I don't want to be called that. I will call them whatever they want and don't want to be called CIS. They tries to say that is how they could truly refer to me as. I've pretty much told them to get stuffed with that term.
@@buellrichardson5222 cis/cisgender simply means "not transgender". Because trans comes from a word that means to be on the other side of something, and cis means to be on this side of it. So cisgender means your gender is the same as your sex and how you've always grown up being treated/socialized as, compared to transgender meaning a person's gender is different from what people thought they were based on their body.
I know some people think that cis is a slur or something, but it is purely a word used to indicate that a person is not transgender. It's not negative or positive, it's just a descriptive word to help communicate a person's experience with gender and whether or not it matches what was initially written on their birth certificate.
You realy are a good one sister...a big help...i just watched the 2 visa videoes...I lost my Thai wife of 30+ years in 2020...to cancer...The Thailand chapter of my life has come to an end with her passing...now im back in England...waiting for lockdown to end...and your videos are a big help in updating on the situation re the Philippines...as i think i will spend the last chapter of my life in your country...Godwilling...what draws me are first ...your nations christian values...second...the fact that almost everyone..unlike Thailand...speaks english...and third...Godwilling...I may find a second chance at finding...love again...in a real way...before i get to old myself...Im still only 56...going on 30...being a scuba instructor keeps one fit...and young at heart...so...again sister...thanks so much for your efforts...your doing a good thing...much love in Jesus...Godbless you.

I do not understand why anyone would hate or discriminate against these poor people! If you don't like them, ignore them. As human beings, they have every right to live their lives however they desire!
I don’t understand it either, but if you look at the number of thumbs down, you’ll see there’s a lot of raw hate. Something tells me they weren’t giving thumbs down to my video, which I thought was fair and well-produced
Nice job Pea. Also, you're looking more and more beautiful...

Thanks! That’s my job - to present all facets of life here in my country 😊
Thank you for answering on this subject honestly! I'm a MD and have always wanted to understand things as they are! I'm not gay or have any desire to be with anyone other than a women. But I want to understand and learn what I do not know! When I have a chance to talk with someone gay or transgender's they have told me they always felt that way!

Wow what a fine interview! You Are not afraid to go in depth with questions! Your kindness and openness comes across.we need to be kind to everyone! people in Thailand are very open to transg.they just let by as" So what "

Much healthier attitudes to gender fluidity in Asia than in the West. In a lot of ways Filipino society is more conservative than Europe or America but there's more acceptance of who people are. I think the only more tolerant society regarding Transgender is on the Pacific Islands ,places like Tahiti and Samoa where "Fa'afafine are considered a third sex.
Great video as always Pea,very eloquent and intelligent people.
Thanks Dave! And yes, it’s a very strange mix of laws, acceptance, conservatism and liberalism here
Well Miss Pea I have to say you did an awesome job on this video. You are the second vlogger this week that I have seen doing interviews with transgender girls. I have chatted and met several transgender girls and I find them to be very good people who just want to have a normal life. When I first learned of transgenders I had mixed thoughts but I did research and chatted to many in chat rooms and learned a lot. I have met filipino transgenders in person and enjoyed spending time with them just as I would enjoy spending time with anyone else. For those that don't understand just do a google search there is tons of info out there. I find that most transgenders and not judgement toward others and most don't really care what others thing of them they just want to live their lives. I know they prefer straight guys and if a straight guy is attracted to a transgendered girl it does not make him gay it just means he is attracted to her looks and personality. It is time people got out of the middle ages and open their minds. Transgender are people to and deserve to be respected just like anyone else. For those who say they are only like that to get money from foreigners are wrong. Sure some are just like there are some girls and guys that do whatever they can to scam people for money. Live and let live. Thanks for the great video. BTW you look very lovely in that black outfit doing the interviews. Stay safe there
Thanks for all your input BB, and I agree 😊
(and I’ll try to use the dress again later) 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea Any time Pea. Love watching your vlogs as you tell it like it is and you give a lot of helpful info. Maybe some day will get a chance to meet you in person. Stay safe
F Pea: That was a powerful podcast and your guest did a great job conducting themselves on a professional level. It appears that they are blending as they fit in the society. Good job!
Thanks WC! I! I tried to be as even-handed and non-judgmental as I hoped my viewers would be 😊
This is a great video Pea. I feel here in The West from what I see online, people worry about biological men using girl's' bathrooms. But Western Transgender people often come off as more masculine. I believe some Transgender here act in a less reserved and feminine way too. Not all of course. The ladies you interviewed on this video are level headed, calm and very charming. Thank you for your open mindedness.
You have done a great job as always. I really appreciate the respectful nature of this and sincerely thank your guests for sharing with us.
Thanks Robert! I tried to be as even handed and non-judgmental as I hoped my viewers would be 😊
Thanks Pea. I love your country and love your people.
Your videos keep getting better and better Pea. Keep up the good work
Thanks John!! 😊
I think you should interview more of these transgenders as in a way it can change public opinion. I met a young transgender in Thailand, she worked as a hotel front desk manager. She was intelligent as well as beautiful. She was very open and honest to me about herself and I learned a great deal from her. She explained when she made the discovery of herself and when she went through all her surgeries. Yes she was totally transitioned and happy with her choice. She said it may be accepted in Thailand but they still cannot get married or change their ID by law.
I love how you are willing to delve into controversial topics. But what makes your channel top notch is your insightful and articulate presentation. A few years ago I came across a channel by a Filipina geared towards explaining life and love in the Philippines. I thought it was a good idea since this is something many Western men are interested in. But she never got many subscribers because she was obviously nervous on camera and not also to express herself well. You, on the other hand, are like an expert broadcast journalist who knows what you want to say and is able to do so in a way that is precise and entertaining. Keep up the good work and maybe some day you will be an YT superstar!
Thanks Chris - you seem to understand exactly what I’m trying to do 😊
I'm actually going to the Philippines in June to meet my gf who is a Ladyboy. I can't wait to meet her. We've been talking now to each other for 3 yrs now. This would be the first time we meet. I'm super excited on meeting her.
Be happy and enjoy
Good topic, I know that here in the lower states most ppl will turn a blind eye away from even touching this subject. Only a few of us understand one thing. All living ppl have the right to love and be loved. However they desire it. Only God can judge me. Personally, I think they are beautiful. Inside and out. And I am happy to see that they Express themselves how they are most happy. More power to them. Their beauty is unbelievable most times. I live by a model in my life. PPL DO WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY. as long as they don't hurt others.
I'm ok with that. I do not have any transgender friends. I wouldn't mind having some.
Thanks pea for touching the subject. And thanks to the girls that came on In to your video. 👍👍👍
Nicole comes across as being extremely cute and smart! Thanks for uploading!
Interesting interview pea. Very respectful discussion shedding light on an issue not discussed.
Good job …long time ago hardworking Pea
You are very professional. Great job at showcasing a topic that can be both viewed as obscure and sensitive.
Thanks Marc!
I am a straight male from scotland uk , i have been staying in Philippiens for 16 years for my winter holidays ,i had never experienced the open attitude of the ( bakla ) in the west , it is refreshing to see there happiness , they always seem happy , i now see there is some discrimination , it sad to know this,
Well done! Your heart is bigger than the islands you live in! I’m a fan and keep up the informative pod casts!
Thanks so much Fisher! 😊
Really informative video Pea. Paul recently interviewed a "Ladyboy" on the Old Dog channel. I feel yours was a little more informative, as you got different points of view. As always, well done.
Thanks Brian! I’m just trying to shed light on the subject as best I can 😊
My values. Ladyboys are people. Treat with respect.
I’m absolutely amazed. Pea, you are such a great person. I’m such a fan. This video was so informative.
I'm dating a filipina.
It's been 16 months.
I ll be coming there as soon as the Philippines government let's me.
I'm 95 percent sure my girl is legit.
Shes great
Sounds like you found a good one!
There's still 5% chance she's not? Lol
Good interviews Pea . Good luck to all of yous
All of these transgender women are lovely and sweet, I wish them all the best, "from Jeff in Canada"
What fantastic content Pea and excellent choice. I thoroughly enjoyed your interviews and thank you to them for being so brave.
Thanks so much, Ron!!
Very informative. People's hopes and dreams are all the same. Regardless of sexual orientation.
Thank you.
Yup, it seems to be the same dreams for everyone 😊
Follow yours. We appreciate you!
Hope they all find happiness, Love, and more...
Very informative video and interviews! Great job!
Thank you it was a great video. The Filipino people as a whole are very kind and unassuming. Before COVID-19 struck I spent a lot of time in Manila and Northeast Thailand. The lady boys that I have met in Manila just want what any woman wants; they are marriage minded and family oriented. Family is of the upmost importance to Filipinos but Unfortunately due to Catholicism they suffer with much guilt about being transgender. The lady boys that I know in Northeast Thailand are all Buddhist so there is no issue or guilt with being transgender. They are able to get jobs, use women’s bathrooms and also have a reputation as excellent workers. Please note: I am not talking about the red light district workers in both countries. The every day lady boys as were interviewed in this video seemed very representative of the lady boys that I have met and I know in metro manila. Thank you again for this video it was an extremely fair representation.
Good interview Pea!
Thank you educating us on this topic!
Another very informative video, Miss Pea. All seriousness aside, sometimes I feel like a handsome man trapped in an ugly man's body but, knowing how kind and considerate you are, you'll accept me the way I am. Thanks for that.
Hahahahaha
Of course I would 😊
The people that you interviewed seemed really kind and sweet. I hope the very best for them and that they find the love and acceptance that we all hope for. Great episode Pea!
The only love and acceptance anyone ever needs is from God through Jesus, the bible, God's Word, says God is love, he doesn't just HAVE love, HE IS love.
hi Miss Pea I have been following you for a few weeks and I think you are fabulous specially with your commentating and your communication skills simply magnificent go girl....!!!
I’m so glad you found me, Michael! 😊
Congratulations on providing astute, realistic and historical insight on the culture of Ladyboys in the Philippines. After viewing the interviews and interpreting the information presented, I think you have provided a keen and thought-provoking perspective on what it means to be transgender there. This also personalizes the ladies and allows an individual to recognize and acknowledge one "to live and let live" in a particularly tolerant Filipino culture. I have visited your country and saw this first-hand. Your journalistic qualities shine in this video!
Thank you so much for that review of my efforts, William - it makes all the work worthwhile 😊
what 'genius' came up with 'ladyboy', pathetic, it, like 'transgender' is a contradictions to itself. It itself makes no sense as a so-called 'word', which it is not a word, Satan just making up 'words' to try to justify his satanic cultures. I guarantee most people the world over don't even know what a 'ladyboy' is, probably 'transgender' also. They're not ladies, they have penises,, they're male. and if they cut their penis off, no matter what they do, they will always be male. They were born male, they'll die male, and they'll stand before Jesus in eternity as a male -no ladyboys in heaven. And some will be with Jesus for ever as a male, and many will burn in hell for ever AS A MALE. Only God is God, only he decides-makes the rules-man is nothing-he doesn't get to choose.
Bravo! For touching upon this sensitive and controversial topic. Also Bravo to the transgenders that came forward so bravely to tell their side of the story. Well the need of the hour is acceptance and change. I wish people in Government give them some rights... after all everyone has a right to exist. Separate comfort rooms at public places for trans, equal job opportunity, same sex marriage laws etc would go a long way. Very nicely presented Ms Pea. I wish you would add one more question...what happens currently when they have to list down gender in their passports? OMG ...it's one thing to be discriminated against in your own country...what happens when you land up in another country that views you in a different light? I feel for them. It's quite a difficult situation.
Thanks Fernando! Yup, it’s a tricky subject to cover 😊
Im glad you have raised the issue of transgender ladies..Filipino ladyboys are beautiful friendly and polite ,family oriented. Very friendly to foreign men..thats why foreign men like to meet and have relationships with ladyboys..very loving and caring to there partners..beautiful lady your interviewing..great video,s..
Thanks for your open-mindedness Geoff 😊
The pea gets hotter and hotter each new episode 😳
Awwww thanks, Tank! 😊
I was thinking the same thing. I’d love to meet her.
@@TheFilipinaPea wow I'm going to have to agree. That dress is winning for you. Extra hot looking here for sure 🤩👍
True. I love Philippine women
@@TheFilipinaPea yea you do look better and love the content
Great interviews showing the human side of the Ladyboy topic. The fact that Arjane could not follow her dream of teaching was very sad my girl is a teacher there in the Philippines and I know that it is almost like a calling for most of the people who teach. It certainly is not for the money. Also when Patrica said she never had a boy friend it kind of broke my heart. I still don't know why we care about how people look or who they love good people are good people.
I don’t know why we care so much, either, but if you look at the number of dislikes on this video already, it’s proof that a lot of people do!
@@TheFilipinaPea am very sorry people disliked this video. People are people and love is love. Admiring a certain look is no-ones business, and these people deserve to be treated with as much respect as anyone else
Keep up the great videos. So impressed you have the integrity and courage to make videos on controversial subjects
PEA, THIS IS BRUNO. I THINK YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY! 💐
Tough subject, Bravo Pea....
you knock it out of the park as always
Thanks Texxan!! 😊
