![]() | This article was tagged for speedy deletion under section g7 of the criteria for speedy deletion but a reviewing administrator or uninvolved experienced editor (DESiegel (talk)) declined the request on the basis that: multiple authors, so G7 cannot possibly apply. This article should not be tagged again for speedy deletion under the same criterion and, unless a valid, separate speedy deletion basis exists, further attempts at deleting this article should be made via the proposed deletion process (prod) if uncontroversial, or the article taken to articles for deletion (AfD) for debate on the merits. Note: this template should be removed once the associated article has survived an AfD debate; or has been significantly changed such that further speedy deletion requests are unlikely. |

Potential resource
This study seems to be about bakla: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a904203098&db=all
The full text isn't publicly available, but someone who has access could expand this article using it.

Confusion
Article seems unsure whether to define bakla as how it is generally defined (incorrectly, as the equivalent of the English term 'gay'). It isn't actually the same as 'homosexual'. Bakla themselves are a subculture, distinct from just being 'gay'. It is never used to refer to lesbians, seldom used to refer to masculine gay men (the article already mentions that those are colloquially called Paminta, a Spanish-derived term meaning 'spice'), or to bisexuals (again referred to in slang as Silahis, Tagalog for 'sunbeam'). Understandable though since there is actually no English equivalent for the concept of bakla.
Anyway, yeah article needs extensive rework.--Obsidi♠nSoul 09:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- I highly second that. There is no equivalent of the term for 'gay' in any traditional Asian language and Bakls is clearly a third gender term -- which is very different from the concept of 'gay.' First, 'Bakla' is a gender identity, not a sexual identity. It's their self-identity as a woman that makes a male Bakla, not one's self-identity as a man who likes men. Third genders are many a times bisexuals as per their sexual lifestyle, and sometimes even exclusively heterosexual. The very first sentence of the article is misleading. Will someone from the LGBT section do the necessary correction.(Masculinity (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC))
third gender
Should bakla be referred to as 3rd gender, when acceptance of the term bakla, usually means equal acceptance of the term tomboy. From what I've seen from visits to the Philippines is that there are four accepted genders male/female/bakla/tomboy Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:43, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Evaluation of this article
Although this article makes good use of citations for the most part, there are some relatively important parts of the article (such as the section about how there is "at least one bakla...living a normal life") that don't use any citations at all. The sources that are used are neutral/un-biased (such as a dictionary entry, or academic paper), but the article could definitely use more of them. Additionally, there are some parts of the article that are written a little bit awkwardly ("It has often been mistaken that..." or "the stigma that was put upon people who belong to the third gender lasted'til modern times but now in a less strict way").
