The recent surge of social media content questioning the validity of peopleโs SOGIESC, particularly targeting trans women, g**s, and le****ns, reveals deep-seated social and cultural biases rooted in heteronormativity, patriarchy, and s*xism. This then reinforces long-standing misinformation and moral policing of bodies, identities, desires, and understanding of s*xualities causing systemic injustices against individuals and communities.
Kabataang FPOP unequivocally affirms that trans women are women. Womanhood is experienced in varied and legitimate ways. Attempts to delegitimize trans women rely on rigid and exclusionary understandings of s*x and gender that deny people their dignity, safety, and autonomy. We also vehemently condemn the notion that s*xuality can be โfactory resetโ through coerced conversion or heteros*xual s*xual experiences. These harmful ideas perpetuate misogyny, corrective violence, the erasure of diverse gender identities, and belief that the fluidity of gender and s*xuality is a justification for forced conversion therapies. Sexual orientation is not a mistake to be corrected nor a stage to be outgrown, but rather a valid and fluid identification to be decided by one's self.
Kabataang FPOP, as national organization of young advocates for s*xual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ), and FPOP stand firm in resisting misinformation and discrimination in all its forms. We reaffirm our position in continuously advocating for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and other accessible avenues for scientific, accurate, and culturally sensitive information among our peers. This education is a crucial step toward unlearning prejudice, eradicating gender injustice, and cultivating respect, consent, and acceptance.
We call for and advocate for education that empowers, affirms diversity, uproots biases, and ensures that SRHRJ is for all!
