Story of the mistreated transwoman By Jeffrey Hernandez 28 hours na akong nakaposas sa sulok ng mabahong kulungang ito.

28 hours and counting. Tang inang mga lespung ito. Mga hayop! 28 at kalahating oras na sa ngayon, nagpipigil ng ihi. Walang kain-kain habang ang ilang bilanggo ay dinadatnan ng rasyon ng pagkain sa takdang oras. (Shouts only to himself) Mga putang ina naman. Mga hayop! Hoy, pakainin niyo naman ako! Gutom na gutom na ako. Ano ba! Puki ng lelang niyo, mga ulul! Ihing ihi na ako, kagabi pa ako nagpipigil dito. Buwakanang shet oh. Kung ayaw niyo magpakain, pa-ihiin niyo man lang ako! (A policeman passes by, the transwoman shifts) Ay, ser. Pakainin niyo naman ako oh. Sige na (Policeman answers) Tang ina, hindi ako bakla! Gagong to. (Mocks) Ah mali, Gagang itu (Frustrated) Ser sige na.(a beat) Oh sige, pa-CR nalang. Sir kagabi pa ako dito. Kagabi pa ho ako nagpipigil ng ihi ko. (Policeman laughs and leaves) Tang ina niyo hayop (He bursts into tears while he pisses in his leggings/pants) Ano bang ginawa ko? Pinagtanggol ko lang naman ang sarili ko. Nakilala ko si Murphy sa isang gay club na pinagtatrabahuhan ko. Murphy is an American guy, having a business trip in the Philippines. Hes 47 but his built and appearance denies hes that old. He came to me and said, Youre interesting. (She laughs) Syempre, I only laughed in response. (Scene transforms into a drag queens show establishing eye contact with Murphy. Scene then segues to Murphys hotel room, him undressing the transwoman.The foreplay begins.) (She dry humps Murphy) What are you doing? Murphy argues. Fuckin fag! You didnt tell youre a she-male. She laughs irritably. I thought weve made this clear I told you, in the bar, Im TOP, darling She lights a smoke. She continues to laugh. Gets out of the bed, disappointed, and starts to dress up. (Murphy is outraged. He starts to act violently and pulls her back in the bed.) What are you doing? Shit, stop that oldster. Arghh. Shit. Tang ina mo, fuck you. Ayoko. I dont get fucked dude. Fuck you! Shit. (He attacks her violently. The transwoman is shocked in silence.) Fuck you, fuck you. Use condom. Shit. (He throws the condom away.)

Fuck, use the fuckin rubber! Ugh, fuck. This is not me. This isnt happening! (She gets fucked. She moans. After a few minutes, she pushes him away) Whats wrong with you?! Murphy complains (She starts to throw things they start to fight. She grabs a pink hankie, wraps it around Murphys neck trying to choke him. We hear police siren.) (Murphy coughs.) Ikulong niyo na ako! Putang ina. Magdadalawang araw na akong nakatayo dito, nakaposas, ilang litrong ihi na ang pinigil ko at inihi ko rin sa panty ko. Hindi raw kasi nila alam kung saan ako ilalagay. Kapag sa kulungan ng mga lalaki, baka daw kung ano pa mangyari sa akin. Baka ma-rape daw ako, maabuso, pagsamantalahan ng mga gagong bilanggo. Pinoprotektahan lang daw nila ako. Pag sa babae naman daw, lalaki pa rin daw ako. Baka ako naman daw ang mang-abuso, mag-rape, manamatala, manggago. Ang trabaho daw nilang mga lespu ay protektahan ang mga naapi. Tang ina.
