EP 318: T-Time Tuesdays - How True Is The Stereotype That "All Trans Women Are Sex Workers" And Why Does It Exist?

There is a headline from Bolivia that recognizes the first same-sex civil marriage.

And that event or that ceremony happened in August 7, 2026.

I really thought that...

There is already a law in Bolivia that recognizes same-sex marriage.

Apparently, this is more of a bait.

Sadly, there is no law yet that recognizes same-sex marriage.

But the marriage that took place in August 7 was the first one to be recognized under the Bolivian law.

Although they don't have the proper law yet, it just so happened that the couple won a dispute, a case.

Never recognized to be a couple, right? It's a

case.

And this is, even if Bolivia doesn't have a law for recognizing same-sex marriage yet, I think the event itself sparked so much conversation and hopefully Bolivian government

and

advocacy will push through in ensuring that there will be a law for recognizing same-sex marriage couples.

That's beautiful.

It is.

I think especially to our Latino, Latina brothers and sisters in the community who is especially trans women, right? There are still a lot of what we always hear is the amount of Latin trans women who is always get get killed for being who they are.

In these Latin countries, there's still such big numbers.

With this becoming a conversation, a topic, and news about these cases, it will really give such a good impact for the community.

Hopefully, more and more countries will see the importance of having these laws as Basic rights, basic human rights.

Absolutely.

Thank you for sharing that, Mackie.

How about you?

That's why we love sharing all this, even small or big wins.

I think it's so important.

So mine, I think maybe it's a bigger win because we just recently had the World Pride events in Europe.
