Reintroducing KaladKaren, as herself
KaladKaren had a shoot the next day with a 7 a.m. calltime, but she didn’t let that stop her from celebrating. “Sabi ko, ‘I don’t care kahit mapuyat ako or kahit mag-shoot ako ng may hangover. This is not going to happen again,’” she tells me. “I have to make the most out of it. And you have to embrace the moment. ’Yun na ’yun eh.”
What she says is not born out of modesty—though she is humble and gracious about her win—but out of necessity. There’s a practicality, an acknowledgement of the fight that trans people have to take for a seat at the table. “Being queer in mainstream media is one thing, but being a transgender person sa mainstream media is a different thing [entirely]. Wala [akong] masyadong nakikitang transgender woman nung lumalaki ako,” she later tells me.
But things are changing, and for the better. “And then I think around s, parang nagkaroon ng trans revolution. Parang ganun, biglang naglabasan ang mga transgender women—and that revolution empowered women like me.”
Newscaster dreams
KaladKaren may not have had many trans role models to look up to as a child, but what she had in spades were newscasters. First were L

Kaladkaren tinabla ang nagtanong tungkol sa kanyang private part
Pinatulan at tinabla ni Jervi Li—na mas kilala bilang Kaladkaren, ang impersonator ni Karen Davila—ang nakakainsultong tanong ng isang female netizen tungkol sa pribadong bahagi ng kanyang katawan.
Nagawa pa ng netizen na gumamit ng "po" sa kanyang rude question kay Karen na "Ms kaladkaren, may p*ke n po b kyo?"
Hindi nagpaapekto si Kaladkaren sa nakakabastos na tanong dahil hindi nawala ang kanyang poise nang sagutin niya ang taong nagpakita ng hangganan ng kaalaman at pang-unawa.
Pahayag niya, “Why are we so engrossed in asking people what’s between their legs? Can’t we stop asking if they have a penis or vagina or jellyfish?
“Because, number one, it’s impolite. Number two, girl, it’s none of your business!
“Why don’t we focus on their talents, on their abilities, on their achievements, not their genitals.
"And for me, it doesn’t matter what’s between your legs. What matters most is this [pointing to her heart] and this [pointing to her head]."
