of transvestism and crossing gender in the 16th and 17th century with the babaylan,
their disappearance under Spanish colonialism and the emergence of different gender

although with stratification of identity and communities with the adoption of gay.
Following the emergence of gay literature and academic studies, the 90s saw the first
lesbian organizations were also founded. LGBT-related writing was found in mainstream
and community publications and the end of the decade saw the first advocacy in the
formal political realm with the formation of an LGBT lobby group and the filing of an anti-
discrimination bill. The new millennium saw the expansion of LGBT organizations in
both representation and activities, a rise in LGBT media, and the formation of the LGBT
political party Ang Ladlad. It was noted that challenges for the LGBT movement include
the lack of an umbrella organization, lack of understanding within the LGBT community
about SOGIE concepts, and a lack of unity due in part because of class differences.
This is within the context of continued social and political challenges for LGBT
communities and individuals and a lack of studies on LGBT rights in the Philippines.

Foreign Literature
The issue of gender inequality in school settings is very broad. Although there
are many similarities among many societies, there are also some differences that
change the perception on the problem for each society and individual. It would be fair to
claim that different cultures, societies, households and eventually individuals, perceive
the role of education in different ways. Likewise, in order to understand the obstacles to
gain gender equality in education, it is essential to understand the broader picture of the
studied society, e.g., the perception of boys and girls; masculinity and femininity; caring
and leadership and their roles in society. These perceptions vary as well within each
society and household. Likewise, the dichotomy between the private sphere and the
public sphere; between objective and subjective factors are very subtle, many times
intertwined and the separation is frequently unequivocal and blurry. Mostly it is essential
to bear in mind that many stereotypical patterns are covert and less overtly evidential.

sensitive because our thoughts are always influenced by our relations learned values
sets of behavior are assigned under a certain category. This becomes problematic
when we presume that all members under a certain category behave and act the way
they are expected to. The changes in behavior are often classified as deviance. In turn
the behavior in which people are solitary confined with the assigned and learned sets of
action is called gender sensitivity or gender bias. As an example, assuming that all gays
are creative and fashionable is false. This false assumption could lead to another

so we cast doubts on their sexual orientation or most popularly known as direct attack
against a person.

benefitted perhaps more than other groups from the focus on the unacceptability of
bullying, although it is worth reiterating that silence about the subject characterized
previous generations because individual adults were free to punish bullies with impunity,
and children who suffered were expected to rise above their travails, which supposedly
made them stronger. In the present era, emphasis on ethical behavior seems to focus
on protecting those too young, weak, or incapacitated for self-defense, but no doubt in
the future a different articulation of social ethics will emerge. It is always well to
question where any conventions of ethical behavior leave the interests of individual
versus societal intellectual freedom, and how lines between ethical behavior and

male students tend to be more bias than women. Thus, the study implies that culture

5 4 3 2 1
A. Sexual Orientation
1. I know that sexual orientation is not just about male
having attraction to female, vice versa.
2. I know that the attraction of the person in terms of
romance, sex and emotion matters the most in sexual
orientation.
3. I use the terms under the sexual orientation of the person
wether if it is homosexual, heterosexual etc.
4. I know that cultures use identity labels to describe people
who express these attractions.
5. I describe that sexual orientation also refers to a person’s
sense of identity based on those attractions, related
behaviors, and membership in a community of others who
share those attractions
B. Gender Identity
1. I know that gender identity is defined as a personal
conception of oneself as male or female (or rarely, both or
neither)
2. I intimately relate the concept of gender role, which is
defined as the outward manifestations of personality that
reflect the gender identity.
3. I know that gender identity, in nearly all instances, is self-
identified, as a result of a combination of inherent and
environmental factors; gender role, on the other hand, is
manifested within society by observable factors such as
behavior and appearance.
4. I believe that the gender of the person does not reflect
their personality and attitude.

C. Gender Expression
1. I use words that show equal treatment regardless of their
gender.
2. I use words that do not show biases/ partiality to any
gender group during classroom discussion.
3. I do not use words that are offensive to the both male,
female, and LGBT group.
4. I respect the choice of lifestyle (clothing, actions, etc.) of
all gender.
5. I believe that how a person expresses their selves does
not mirror their sexual orientation and gender identity.
