Geena Rocero grew up in the Philippines, but, at 17 years old, decided to move to the United States. That’s because as a transgender woman, Rocero’s ability to be legally recognized as the gender she identifies with was impossible in her native country. “In the Philippines, trans people are culturally visible, but we're not politically recognized,” Rocero tells me on She Pivots. “There are no rights for trans people. We're not recognized legally. There are no, you know, comprehensive anti-discrimination protections.”
