SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI NGAYONG HAPON PARA PAG-USAPAN ANG KONSEPTO NG GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE SA LENTE NG KARANASAN NG MGA TRANS PINAY.
Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 6 November 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
Gender-affirming healthcare is increasingly recognized worldwide as essential to the wellbeing of transgender and gender-diverse people. In the Philippines, however, access remains fragmented and marked by stigma. This episode takes a closer look at what gender-affirming care actually involves across medical, psychological, and social dimensions, while foregrounding the lived experiences of trans Filipinas throughout their transition journeys. This episode aims to feature first-person stories of navigating clinics, managing its cost, and the pressures to self-medicate. Finally, it aims to ask what concrete steps communities, and allies can take so that access to gender-affirming care becomes a real part of healthcare for every Filipino.
Joining us on this episode is Ms. Kylie Soberano. This episode is hosted by Dwayne Denzel Hipolito.

The program, Baka Naman Pwede?, is a knowledge dissemination initiative of the Institute of Philippine Culture that offers a culturally sensitive, critical, evidence-based, and down-to-earth analysis of contemporary social issues using a multidisciplinary social sciences approach. This initiative is premised upon the principle that knowledge creation and dissemination should be genuinely collaborative processes that provide space for multiple experiences, perspectives, and problem-solving approaches to be articulated, recognized, and applied.
