A Senate hearing on the Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression Equality Bill attended by Senators Risa Hontiveros, Nancy Binay and Ronald dela Rosa was virtually transformed into a ‘classroom‘ and became a venue for senators to explain to the public the people’s different gender identities and expressions. Hontiveros, who chairs the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, gave an overview of the people’s different gender identities, sexual orientation, and expressions and how to respond to practical issues, such as the use of public spaces.
