What little boy doesn't wish to grow up as an albino, Phillipino girl trapped in a male body? And what Phillipino woman, wants to transition into her truth only to battle white privilege, from her own trans community? The answer is no one, and no one. Yet, these factors are only the beginning of Meredith Talusan's story that has lead her to realize, being a fair-skinned woman isn't all it is cracked up to be.
This candid and forthright conversation is a perfect mid-Pride month story to show each of us how we tend forget the trials and tribulations we all face for the things that make us, us, and that others tend to find the most reason to hate about us. Just in time for the launch of her Book "Fairest," Meredith, brings us insights and truths of about the closets she faces that many of us will never even consider due to our own inherent privilege.
