• A transwoman chose love over the crown to save the life of her boyfriend
• Her boyfriend experienced a sudden numbness throughout his body
• Lars Pacheco apologized to the organizer and to all her supporters whom she had kept them waiting

Lars Pacheco was the 2nd runner-up of ‘Miss Q and A’ of ABS-CBN noontime show ‘It’s Showtime.’ Her Facebook post went viral because of the sacrifice she did for her boyfriend who needed to be rushed to the hospital while they supposed to be going to a pageant in Mabini, Batangas.

She said, “MY BOYFRIENDS LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN ANY CROWN OR TITLES.”

It all started on May 28 when Pacheco and her boyfriend Clyde were going to Batangas after attending an event in Quezon City around five in the afternoon. Knowing that she was going to be late for the pageant, Pacheco decided to do all her preparations inside the car so that she would be ready once they arrived for the pageant.

“Like around mga 8:40 pm tumatawag yung organizer na mag iistart na sila, pero yung byahe namin is 20 mins pa. So nakikiusap ako na baka pwedeng hintayin na kami kasi nakamake up nako at naka suot ng costume pag baba ng sasakyan aakyat na lang ng stage, but they said mag start na talaga,” she said.

When they were already near the venue, her boyfriend Clyde felt numb throughout his entire body. His hand was cold to the touch so she decided to rush him immediately to the hospital.

“Sabi naman nya hindi sya mag jojoke hanggang sa nahawakan ko na yung kamay nya ang lamig lamig na and naninigas na rin. Nahilo siguro sa byahe. Di ko alam gagawin ko, ang alam ko lang kailangan ko syang madala agad sa hospital.”

Pacheco apologized to the organizer and to all her supporters whom she had kept them waiting.

“Kaya sa mga organizers po ng kontes sa mabini batangas sorry to keep you waiting.”

His viral post has already garnered 58,000 reactions at 19,000 shares.

A college student went viral on social media after becoming the first transwoman to graduate as Cum Laude at Bulacan State University with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Psychology.

Wearing her graduation toga and Filipiniana in her graduation photos, Quino claimed that she is the first “goddess” at their university. Netizens admired her for being a proud transwoman and for being a Cum Laude.

“Wow you are not just beautiful and intelligent you are an inspiration”

Today, cameras are treated like necessities because of its function to capture moments and memories. In social media, you would see people posting photos of them when they were a lot younger, also called as ‘throwback.’

One Facebook user by the name of Kenneth Santos posted an ‘ultimate throwback’ of him along with his four other friends. He posted two photos to make a comparison. The throwback photo showed them in basketball attire while the current photo showedthat all of them have grown up to be normal adults.

But one thing about it had everyone surprised.

The current photo shows that one of Kenneth’s friends whose name is Joe-Marie Santos Jalla, went from a teenage boy to an adult woman with long hair while wearing woman’s clothes.

But everything was good as most netizens had positive things to say about it. Most were happy that the friends still accepted Joe-Marie for who he is and his decision.

Netizens also assumed that the only reason he started playing basketball was to get closer to men to which he responded with “Para po sa kaalaman ng lahat grade 4 pa lang po bakla na ko and high school kung saan ako nagsimula magbasketball. Oo bakla ako pero di ito hadlang para makapaglaro ako ng basketball – naglalaro ako hindi para mapalapit sa mga lalaki o maka tsansing katulad ng mga nababasa ko, naglalaro ako dahil pinakikisamahan ko mga tropa ko.”

Furthermore, he said, “In fact, sila pa ang nagpo–provide ng shoes, jersey and shorts ko para lang makasama ako. No regrets naman kasi naging masaya ako together with them. Ito ang tunay na magtotropa – walang boundaries no matter what sexual1ty na meron ka.”

Joe-Marie also appeared in ‘It’s Showtime’ and won Miss Q and A intertalaktic.

• A transwoman admits to a guy her sexual identity
• A transphobic is someone who shows dislike against transsexual or transgender people
• One of the netizens misinterpreted her post and said that it is not  being transphobic but rather having a preference

To have a stronger relationship, all you need is to be honest, all the time. Just like a transwoman who admitted to a guy her sexual identity.

A Twitter user named Tiffany Monroe‏ @tiffanymonroee posted the response of a guy to whom she admitted that she is a transwoman and the guy accepted her for who she is. “I told this guy I was trans and look at his response.”

As she was being accepted, she called out to all transphobic persons who quoted on her tweet. A transphobic is someone who shows dislike against transsexual or transgender people.

And all the ugly men quoting this and being transphobic, I hope the girl you fucking with gives you chlamydia. You ugly bitches

— Tiffany Monroe (@tiffanymonroee) March 3, 2019

But one of the netizens misinterpreted her post and told her that it is not being transphobic, but rather having a preference.

Having a preference isnt transphobic though lol

— Jacøb (@_EIysian_) March 4, 2019

Tiffany replied and explained that there is really a difference between having a preference and being transphobic. But for her, it can’t be considered as a preference once you’ve already encountered a transwoman because that is optional.

Listen stupid fucks. There’s obviously a difference between having a preference and being transphobic. But when you encounter a trans woman that’s pre-op and that’s not your preference, you don’t have to be transphobic about the situation. That’s the whole point.

— Tiffany Monroe (@tiffanymonroee) March 4, 2019

And she added that her tweet was only intended for transphobic men.

If you’re not transphobic then this tweet has nothing to do with you, right? That tweet only calls out the men being transphobic but of course you want to make it about you. So please, shut the fuck up.

— Tiffany Monroe (@tiffanymonroee) March 4, 2019

As a reply to her explanation with the way she posted on her tweet, by pointing out she was accepted and proved that the guy was a real man, it turned out like calling the attention of anyone who doesn’t feel the same.

Idk, it's ironic of nothing else that you're preaching to a timeline about being accepted for once by sharing a story to push a narrative of "see he accepts me that makes him a real man" while in turn calling out anyone that doesn't feel the same. You're the toxic one here. Tuff.

— Jacøb (@_EIysian_) March 4, 2019

After all the negative and positive reactions, she thanked all the people who had given positive reactions to her tweet. But to all those who were being rude and transphobic, she just shook them off.

Anyway, thank you to all the lovely people being so nice to me, y’all are beautiful, deserve love and I hope you have a good night/day! To everyone being rude & transphobic, suck a fart outta my ass bitches.

“If I decided to live again as a trans, it doesn’t mean I will give up my faith, I still keep moving and continue my personal relationship with the Lord , coz I need Him in every area of my life not just in my Identity.”

He also said a message to the transwomen, telling them to be kind and stop with the negativity.

In June 2018, he admitted that his decision to live like a man again would have many hurdles, one of which was his attraction to men. But he said that he would turn to God to resist his temptation to engage in a same-sex relationship.

MANILA, Philippines. Car enthusiast, businessman, and heir to the Victoria Court motel chain Ian King recently shocked netizens by coming out as a trans woman via social media on Saturday, July 2.

Using the name Angelina Mead King under the new Instagram account @hailtothe_queen_,  the trans woman husband of TV host and model Joey Mead King posted a photo of herself and Joey together.

She wrote in the caption of the photo: “My rock and my number one supporter! @joeymeadking I Love You!”

The photo has amassed over 5,000 likes as of this writing.

Meanwhile, Joey on her Instagram account shared a photo with the caption: “Freedom.”

Although King still maintains the Instagram account @hailtothe_king, the Angelina account, which apparently documents her transition into a trans woman, has been active since 2012.

According to a report by Inquirer, King’s father Archie, who died in a helicopter crash in July 2015, was aware that his son was transitioning and was accepting of it. Meanwhile, King’s brother Atticus showed support by posting a photo on his Instagram account.

In the caption of the photo, he wrote: “Here’s a pic with my former kuya who is now my ate. Meet my “new” sister Angie @hailtothe_queen_ @kim_epil, @joeymeadking,” Atticus said.

Celebrities such as Bianca Gonzalez, Cesca Litton, Alma Concepcion, Iya Villania, Bubbles Paraiso, and Aubrey Miles as well as motoring journalist James Deakin gave their well-wishes to King.

Overwhelmed by the support she received following her announcement, King took to social media to thank everyone.

“What’s a dream, I couldn’t sleep from being so happy! Thank you to everyone for the love and support. You can’t imagine what kind of weight has been lifted off my heart. I am excited to see you all soon.”

King and Mead tied the knot in 2011.
