A transman is a person born with female parts and yet identifies as male. And this Saturday on Magpakailanman, Mel Tiangco features the life story of Nil Nodalo, born Marie, who struggled with who he was, who he was seen as, and who he wants to be.
How does a man, born a woman, find acceptance in a religious society who sees deviance as a sin? And how can he make the people he loves accept who he is?
Stories about men becoming women are rampant. And although it still gets frown from the more conservative types, it’s become a norm. People are no longer surprised by this. Men can become women. But what happens when it’s the other way around?
