Trans woman Gretchen Diez meets Duterte

President Rodrigo Duterte met with transgender woman Gretchen Diez in Malacanang on Monday evening.

Senator Bong Go, Bataan Representative Geraldine Roman are in the photos.

Diez became viral after her arrest last week when a mall cleaning staff prevented her from using a female restroom.

She made a live video of her being detained at the mall’s security office with the janitress berating her.

“I’ve met Senator Bong Go and the president himself. Positive feedback from the president,” Diez said in a text message.

She also said that something drastic will happen for the LGBTQ+ community. Duterte previously said that he is okay with creating a third gender restroom.

“After two decades, the LGBTQ+ community finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel. Many confidential actions were drafted that are guaranteed to astonish the public,” Diez said.
