MANILA, Philippines– LGBTQ+ groups were up in arms about the alleged profiling of transgender women in Makati City, caught especially in a viral video that circulated online on Friday, February 14.
However, Makati City police chief Rogelio Simon said"Oplan X-Men" – the alleged profiling of transgender women in the city – was not a part of any police activity in Makati.Several LGBTQ+ groups condemned the operation, calling it a blatant form of targeted harassment against trans women. “The utter disregard for due process is characteristic of the Duterte administration, as is evident in Oplan Tokhang, and has created an environment where the police can get away with violating the rights of the people, especially those who are most vulnerable,” it said.
“This so-called solution to sex trafficking only targets trans women and illegally profiles them, a transphobic solution to a grave problem that violates every victim's rights, regardless of SOGIE,” they said. “This systematic violation of human rights only further proves the urgent need to protect LGBTQI people from violence and discrimination and decriminalize safe and consensual sex work in the country,” stated UP Babaylan.
There is really no laws against men prostitutes but perversion is very obvious.
