00:00According to the group, these are the age groups that should be targeted to be given guidance.
00:11To be honest, these transnellees are still young.
00:16Do they really understand what they want and the possible consequences of hormone treatment?
00:23How is that possible?
00:26One thing that is often said is,
00:29they are not confused because they are still young, especially 11 years old.
00:33You need to counsel them.
00:36Start with you.
00:38Find out where the child's dream comes from in transitioning.
00:44After that, if you understand what he really wants,
00:48try to connect with his family.
00:50Medicine and consultation with a doctor are expensive,
00:54that's why they are being helped by a group of nurses.
00:57They are making sure that new people who will be consulted
01:02and their families will understand the world of transgenders.
01:07It is also necessary to be more meticulous in buying medicine.
01:11Online selling of hormone pills and injectables is now popular.
01:16Online selling is now popular.
01:18Access to hormones is now available.
01:21The question is, are these hormones right?
01:26Those who tried hormones, they got it from TikTok or from their blogs.
01:32So, what I give them as an advice is,
01:37they have to be meticulous on trying to discern
01:40if those who give advice on the use of hormones are just trying to sell the product.
01:45It is also important to consult a doctor.
01:49If there is no partner for monitoring,
01:53like a medical doctor or an endocrinologist to that matter as a specialist,
01:58they will not be able to monitor the possible complications of those hormones that they are taking.
02:09Meanwhile, Reina and Ashley are now the ambassadors of the group.
02:13It aims to raise awareness on HIV, physical and mental health of transgenders.
02:20In June, Pride Month, they gave a seminar on HIV and SOGI
02:26or Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression.
02:30The main goal of this event is to teach the importance of understanding HIV and HIV-AIDS
02:41so that there will be no stigma.
02:43I went to JOSA to help transgenders like me who are having a hard time getting out
02:51because they are afraid of discrimination.
02:54From winning as a JOSA of PNR in 2022,
02:59Ashley also became a mini-celebrity in their area.
03:03But if a child approaches you, what do you say to him?
03:07Especially if he is still very young.
03:08There are times when I tell transgenders,
03:14even if they are not totally long-haired,
03:17I tell them, are you really trans?
03:22Because once you enter the world of being trans,
03:27you will not only experience discrimination,
03:30I tell them that you will not only experience a zigzag,
03:36but you will also experience a hole, you will experience a fire.
03:44You will experience that when you reach the point of transition.
03:51Meanwhile, Ashley's transgender colleagues
03:55told me again in Entablado where they used to live.
03:59Guys, I haven't seen you for two years. How are you?
04:07Transgender
04:11Transgender
04:35Do you still see each other here?
04:38Yes, everyday.
04:39Everyday?
04:40So what's your bonding now?
04:42Volleyball.
04:44I know you used to take pills.
04:46Do you still take pills?
04:48No, I don't.
04:49Why?
04:50Because there's a training in volleyball.
04:53Yes.
04:54You're not allowed to take pills because it's weak.
04:56That's why I took it.
04:58So how's that?
04:59The competition is over now.
05:00I'll come back.
05:01You'll take pills again?
05:02Exactly.
05:03How about you?
05:04Do you still take pills?
05:05Sometimes, I stop taking it because I get a headache.
05:10But why do you still take it?
05:12Nothing.
05:13Because it's like a haggard.
05:16Hormones add up.
05:18It's like a blooming stomach.
05:20Now, they feel more accepted by the society.
05:25I feel more open.
05:27We're not like this anymore.
05:29In the eyes of other people.
05:31Now is the time to guide our health with the right guide.
05:37This time, let's change it.
05:39If you're shy, we can reach you online.
05:46As much as possible.
05:48If it's available, go.
05:50We can have a video call, video chat.
05:53But it's more perfect when we're talking face to face.
05:57You understand each other better.
05:58You can hug each other.
