Welcome to another episode of the Breakfast With Tiffany Show podcast! Join Tiffany and her incredible guests—Paulie Durig, Maki Gingoyon, and herself—as they delve deeper into the poignant realities faced by transgender women in the Philippines. At the top of the episode, Paulie discusses the harsh truth that transgender women are often treated as second-rate citizens in the Philippines, without many of the rights of their cisgender counterparts. The discussion unfolds as they explore societal expectations, where love for trans women seems contingent on factors such as career success and wealth. The trio sheds light on the unique standards imposed on trans women in the Philippines, standards that defy the reality experienced by their counterparts in other countries. Tiffany reflects on her transformative journey, leaving the Philippines for Japan, where she discovered a world offering more opportunities for trans individuals. Amidst the challenges, she found strength in saying "yes" to a new chapter. Maki shares her empowering journey of saying "yes" to creating "My Transgender Date," a platform that goes beyond borders to connect trans individuals seeking authentic love. Paulie passionately emphasizes the importance of such platforms, advocating that trans women deserve genuine love and connection. Get ready for a powerful continuation of this eye-opening conversation, as these inspiring women continue to break chains, transcend borders, and pave the way for a more inclusive and understanding world. --- Paulie Durig Previous Episode #163 ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/7c63cf98/why-we-need-to-teach-the-world-about-transgender-with-guest-paulie-durig-part-1 Part 2 ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/78964ff2/setting-healthy-boundaries-and-building-life-long-relationships-part-2 Part 3 ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/7c69da14/how-to-have-your-own-sacred-space-with-holistic-mental-health-coach-paulie-durig-part-3 Maki Gingoyon Previous Episode #140 ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/780159fa/international-transgender-day-of-visibility-2023-with-special-guest-maki-gingoyon-part-1 Support the showBreakfast With Tiffany Show Official Facebook Page ~ https://www.facebook.com/breakfastwithtiffanyshow Tiffany's Instagram Account ~ https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyrossdaleofficial/ For coaching sessions & programs with Tiffany, check out her official page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com Breakfast With Tiffany Show Youtube Channel ~ https://bit.ly/3vIVzhE Breakfast With Tiffany Show Official Page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast For questions, requests, collaborations and comments, feel free to reach us via our e-mail ~ [email protected]
