Taken from Hender Gercio’s Facebook: Stop Transphobia/Homophobia in UP Diliman!

by: Hender Gercio
I am posting this because I want everyone to know how transphobia/homophobia is very much alive and kicking in the Philippine educational setting, even in the classrooms of the top state university. I currently have a teacher who refuses to address me as female in class due to her religious belief. Below is the complaint I submitted to our department head.  

—-  

February 7, 2011  

TO:    Prof. Wystan de la Peña

          Chairperson

          Department of European Languages

          College of Arts and Letters

          University of the Philippines Diliman 

RE:    Incident Report and Request for Action

Dear Sir:

Please allow me to introduce myself through this letter. I am presently a junior undergraduate student pursuing a degree in European languages (with French as specialization) in your Department. I was also part of your EL170 (Techniques of Translation) class during the summer of 2009.

I also identify as transgender, as a transsexual woman to be exact. I was assigned male at birth, but I have undergone gender transition and now live full time as female. Should you require more information to familiarize yourself with these concepts, an FAQ sheet published by the American Psychological Association about transgender individuals and gender identity is attached to this letter.  

I would like to seek your assistance in addressing an issue that has come up during my classes with a member of the DEL faculty, Ms. Dominique “Nikki” Del Corro. I am currently her student in French 30-31 (Advanced Spoken French; Tuesdays to Fridays, 2:30-4:00PM) and EL 181 (Directed Language Activities: Practicum; Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30AM-1:00PM).
