I have followed Chrissy Lee Polis' story since it broke in April. I would like to make a modest contribution to any verifiable fund if any that has been established for her. My friends in Manila were appalled to learn of what she went through and are pleased to see that some form of justice has been rendered.

Unfortunately many of my transgendered friends have experienced similar incidents although not as severe as Chrissy's.

Some interesting articles about transgendered people in the PI can be found by searching for "STRAP Philippines". A young transgendered woman (Sass Rogondo Sassot) has some very interesting articles about being transgendered and the problems that they face. Sass is the president of STRAP and very articulate. She has given an impassioned speech to the United Nation several years ago which was well received. I have met a number of members of STRAP and they are great folks.
