A 21-year-old transgender, Kevin Balot, beat out 20
other contestants from 15 countries, in the annual competition for
transsexuals. What baffles me most is that these beauties were once MEN... God get patience sha... anyways as as i was saying *winks*
Friday night, in the land of the lady-boy, Balot
said, "Someday I want to go to Europe and to represent my country the Philippines. So I'm so
proud to present the beauty of the gays back to our country, the Philippines”

and I believe that my dad will accept me not only as his son but also as his
daughter."
