The Senator made the comments during a session of the senate on Monday.

He cited the case of Jennifer Laude, a trans woman who was killed by 19-year-old Joseph Pemberton, who had been unaware that Laude was transgender.

Her killer had not realised she was transgender on meeting her, something that came to be a major factor in the case.

Now Senator Pacquiao claims her ”cross dressing" caused her to be killed.

He also claimed that trans people using the bathroom appropriate to their gender identity was dangerous.

He made the comments during a debate on a bill to tackle sexual harassment towards women.

”Even in the Bible, we read that the woman should wear women's [clothing]; and the man, for men's wear," Pacquiao said.

”That's what I believe."

Guy is utter scum

 

[Zen Aku]

All respect lost

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah Pacquiao can go away, IIRC this isn't the first time he's said something like this

 

[PBY]

Wait

He's a fucking senator??

 

[Tom Nook]

SMH

STFU Manny.

 

[Thatonemoor]

Eh not surprised by him having shit opinions at this point.

 

[kingslunk]

Still glad Mayweather bodied him.

 

[AGoodODST]

He's a piece of shit so not really surprised.

 

[SenorArdilla]

"They were asking for it."

 

[Ryuukan]

Wait

He's a fucking senator??

if this shocks you, you should read about the president of the Philippines

 

[SerTapTap]

So "cross dressing" causes crimes but not bigotry. got it. Straight out of the "I'm not a bigot but political correctness is--" playbook.

Can't even be surprised anymore. Completely textbook victim blaming.

 

[Lebron]

He still hasn't recovered from that KO and the Floyd L

 

[Brinbe]

He's long been a fucking idiot.

 

[PBY]

if this shocks you, you should read about the president of the Philippines

Oh I'm very aware. Not shocked that he would get elected, just had no idea he had run.

 

[def sim]

Oh, a reminder that the Pacman is an absolute idiot.

 

[Einchy]

He has so little respect for trans people that he thinks it's cross-dressing.

 

[Kinsei]

He has so little respect for trans people that he thinks it's cross-dressing.

Most people do.

 

[Heroman]

I agree ,who am I to question a man who has been repeatedly hit in the head?

 

[sirap]

lol, what a joke. Pacquiao is a devout Christian filipino who's at the tail-end of his career and transitioning into full-time politics. Dude knows his audience and panders to them well.

 

[PSqueak]

Well, then i guess my dream is to one day have the courage to become a criminal.

 

[Valhelm]

 

[EnlightenedMint]

He's always been an idiot no surprise.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Can we get JuanMa to knock the shit out of him again?

 

[John Kowalski]

Is this dude trying to say that crimes against transgender folk are justified...?

 

[BitStyle]

He still hasn't recovered from that KO and the Floyd L

Still showing it to this day. smh

 

[FeenixRising]

I remember when so many people stanned him just because they hated Mayweather.


Good times

 

[therealist]

Still glad Mayweather bodied him.

as if Floyd hasn't been a worse human being than Manny.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I rooted for him against Floyd, but what a piece of shit is this guy. I never knew his political views until some time ago.

 

[John Kowalski]

Someone should find that post someone made recently about how people in general have no trouble with transgender people.

 

[ISWThunder]

Manny taking shots at De la Hoya?

But seriously, what a fucking POS Manny is.

 

[RM8]

I see that brutal KO from Márquez did some permanent damage.

Man, wtf. I was one of the only Mexicans rooting for him back when he was stomping all over Mexican boxers left and right. I johned for him at some point ("Márquez got lucky with that punch"). Disposable piece of trash, Canelo has been my favourite for ages anyway.

 

[BotoxAgent]

No shock since he's super religious

 

[Ninja Scooter]

as if Floyd hasn't been a worse human being than Manny.

It's a push at this point. Manny's a real piece of shit. And considering his level of fame and leadership in his native country, his words are potentially incredibly dangerous for the LGBT communities there.

 

[mr stroke]

Religion can be dangerous

 

[Bronx-Man]

Dude needs to fuck off.

 

[pigeon interrupted]

Eh. Klitschko, Fury, Pacquiao can all get f'd. RIP Jennifer. Stop the world, I want to get off.

 

[CrocoDuck]

Eh. Klitschko, Fury, Pacquiao can all get f'd. RIP Jennifer. Stop the world, I want to get off.

I think any hardcore boxing fan is well aware of Pacquiao's religious beliefs that lead him to saying things like this. I'm aware of Fury's comments in the past, but I'm curious to what Klitchko has said in the past that binds him together with these two?

 

[Beth Cyra]

No shock since he's super religious

As much as I have a distaste for Religon most rational folk even super religious aren't as on the nose with victim blaming as this piece of trash.

 

[kamineko]

Yes, if there's one thing that the Christ of the Gospels can teach us, it's that some people are just asking for it

what a garbage person with garbage voters, spitting garbage

 

[Platy]

Thanks for that xD

I needed that laugh after being impressed by the amount of shit that someone can say in so few words

 

[pigeon interrupted]

Same as Fury iirc. Gays are child abusers, should be murdered and similar junk. There were reports of his political/personal viewpoints around the time of Euromaidan. Terrible role models which is a shame because boxing often speaks to disaffected youths and these sportsmen could make a real difference concerning violence against LGBT. Haters gonna hate, though.

 

[Stabby McSter]

i've pretty much FOH'd pacquiao years ago

it makes me sad that i looked up to him too

 

[Violence Jack]

Hasn't he come out before as being pretty anti-LGBT in the past? He's a piece of garbage, so no surprise he would say something like this.

 

[see5harp]

The brand of Catholicism that exists in his home country is especially despicable. Seriously. They be on that voodoo Jesus shit.

 

[BotoxAgent]

yeah, good point

I'd like a source on that please. I know of at least one proven statement by Vitali (other than other negative/bad stuff), but I wasn't aware of any negative statement by Wladimir.
Wlad for example took a stance against the shit Fury said about homosexuals (and other groups).

 

[agentofatlas]

He ain't catholic.

 

[see5harp]

He ain't catholic.

Oh? My bad. I thought that's what it was in his country. Catholics in this country still be on that actual transformation during eucharist shit though.

 

[GustyGardens]

The same translation of the bible he's quoting also says you shouldn't wear wool and linen at the same time. It also says that women should dress modestly and not in expensive clothing and jewelry. Someone should let him know that his wife is going against his beliefs.

This guy is an ass hat.

There's also a follow up passage in Corinthians, from that same translation, that says a woman should cut off all of her hair if she doesn't pray with a veil.

 

[Hollycat]

... In bible times didn't both men and women both basically wear dresses?
