00:00 Transgender students are being discriminated against for cutting their hair
00:06 by a school in Manila to enroll.
00:09 The LGBTQIA+ group protested to change the policy.
00:15 This is the answer of the school in Ian Cruz's report.
00:18 No haircut, no enrollment.
00:23 That's why the transgender, Jen, who had her hair cut short, was cut inside.
00:29 I was so sad at that time.
00:31 I couldn't eat. I cried every night.
00:35 The Ilohio Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology in Manila
00:41 said that long hair is prohibited for men.
00:45 The discrimination against LGBT is so high because they are not enrolled until they get a haircut.
00:50 They really don't care about their hair in school.
00:52 Actually, they are not satisfied with my haircut yet.
00:55 But they enrolled me because my hair is already short.
00:58 That's why they protested.
01:00 Now, the country's Becky is fighting!
01:05 They called for a change in the student handbook.
01:09 They also followed the section on the right to cut for men.
01:14 We need a 2x3 haircut.
01:20 Becky, Becky, don't support!
01:24 According to the Commission on Higher Education,
01:26 what the student handbook does is not the commission, but the university.
01:31 When they do and revise it, there should be a consultation with the students.
01:36 In the statement of the IRIST, they said that all students,
01:41 regardless of their gender and hair length, can enroll for the second SEM.
01:46 The head of the school and the IRIST chapter also agreed
01:51 to discuss the new implementing rules and regulations regarding enrollment.
