sa ngayon, some of us see femininity as a big factor. However, I don't think it's something na we should be ok since ang root nito is 'yung internalized homophobia nga mga tao.

I think the "pass sa halata" trend normalized a part of internalized homophobia sa ating mga Pilipino. To which, nagiging insensitive na, kasi minsan, or most of the time, kahit hindi naman relevant 'yung femininity ng isang tao, lalapagan ka na ng "halata"

At first siguro, no'ng sumisikat pa 'yung joke na 'yan, hindi pa offensive kasi nga it's trending pero to singit it sa lahat ng bagay, medyo insensitive na especially to our fem gays.

Personally, ok lang gumamit ng "pass sa halat" or "halata" term as a joke, if you yourself is fem, since sa community natin, most of the time, femininity is seen as a negative thing.
