I consider myself a guy who enjoys music and is pursuing a hobby or a job based on that
interest. I am doing it here for my family, not just myself. I use what I have to help them, and they
help me.
My parents and friends are the individuals who surround me. These are the people I keep
near and who are significant in my life. They are the ones who come to my aid when I am at my
lowest and pull me back up or cheer me up. My family, particularly my parents, regard me as their
first kid and have high expectations of me. Moreover, because I am a guy, they want me to one
day be the breadwinner for the family. I want to succeed in my education to support my family.
They want me to be the one who guides or leads my brothers to success so that they may help the
family as well. This puts much strain on me because I have a lot of tasks and chores to complete.
My family and friends think of me as a man because of my gender and sex and want me to
act like one. On the other hand, my male pals are more accepting of how I look and act. My parents,
particularly my father, are pretty particular about how I should dress and act as his son. He believes
that guys should not cry, that we should not have long hair or be more muscular, and that other
gender clichés are stereotypes that should not be obeyed. However, he makes it seem like these
clichés are what define me, even when they are not.
Yes, to some extent, how most people perceive me is how I perceive myself in my
experience. Some people still see themselves as A, but I see myself as B, and my life has been
straightforward based on my sex and gender, compared to what others of the opposite sex and
gender have to deal with daily. This is because our society has remained patriarchal until now. In
other words, they prefer males to women. We can see that men are more qualified for jobs than
women are, and they have more opportunities in life. Other genders have to deal with additional
issues such as oppression, contempt, misogyny, and general inequality. Countries like ours are
making adjustments like the SOGIE Bill and the Magna Carta Act to be more flexible in giving each
gender equal opportunities. However, the fact that men are still preferred indicates that this is
insufficient.
In my country, social policies and regulations guarantee my and everyone's rights as human
beings. Article III of the Philippine Constitution, sometimes known as the Bill of Rights, is a well-
known law or policy. "No one shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of
law, nor should any person be denied the equal protection of the laws," the article declares
(Section 1.). "No law shall be established restricting people's right to free speech, expression, or
the press, or their right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for redress
grievances" (Section 4.). These are only a few of the article's highlights. The bill safeguards
everyone's right to live in our country.
