Talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz addressed the LGBT writer who went viral after he allegedly forced a waiter to stand for two hours.
In a Facebook post, Ogie believed that the said writer, Jude Bacalso, was not happy that she was still addressed as “sir” despite her efforts to look feminine.
However, instead of letting the waiter stand for two hours, Ogie said that Jude should have been shown documentary evidence that she was a woman.
“Ganun naman pala na babae ang tingin mo sa sarili mo, eh di sana, pinakitaan mo ng pruweba na magpapatunay na babae ka talaga bukod sa pagpapakita ng keps,” he said.
“Katulad kunwari ng birth certificate. Ipakita mo na FEMALE ang nakalagay sa gender mo doon para mas maintindihan ka ng waiter kung saan nanggagaling yung ngitngit mo,” he added.
According to him, Jude should accept the fact that not everyone would know that not everyone would address her pronouns correctly.
“Nagdesisyon kang ibahin ang pagkatao mo, tapos ang gusto mo, mag-adjust lahat ang mga tao sa pagbabago mo ng anyo. Agad-agad? Di ba pwedeng dahan-dahan lang, Ateng? Tutal, ikaw naman ang nagdesisyong magbago ang takbo ng pagkatao mo? Entitled ka naman masyado, teh,” he stated.
“Nag-sorry na nga yung waiter, di pa rin sapat at pinatayo mo pa talaga nang dalawang oras? Gusto mong maging proud ang LGBTQIA+ community sa yo, paano? Itsura mo lang ata nagbago, sana, idinamay mo na rin pati pagkatao mo para mabitbit mo kahit saan ka dumayo,” he added.
Ogie also added that while Jude wanted to promote LGBTQIA+ sensitivity, the latter failed also to recognize that people outside his community have sensitivity also.
“Pag ang tao, nag-sorry na, patawarin mo na. Wag mo nang bini-big deal ang isang sitwasyon na ikaw mismo, kaya mong solusyunan, ayaw mo lang,” he said before ending his post.
