Ipinagtanggol ni Deputy Speaker Bro. Eddie Villanueva ang mga karapatan ng tunay na babae kaugnay ng toilet incident na kinasangkutan ng transwoman na si Gretchen Diez na lumikha ng alingasngas tungkol sa umano'y diskriminasyon sa LGBTQ o Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer.
“In this ongoing tug-of-war between actual rights and perceived ones, let us not forget the most fundamental of all, the long-upheld Rights of Women, sabi ni Villanueva.
"It is sad that our LGBT brothers and sisters who form a very small segment of our society want to enforce their perceived rights against biologically born women in the use of ladies’ comfort room,” giit ni Villanueva ng Cibac Party-list.
“Ilang dekada na po na nakasanayan ng mga kababaihan na ang kanilang rest room ay exclusive para sa kanila at ang karamihan ay hindi komportable kung may transwomen na gagamit nito. Sana naman po igalang ng lahat ang kababaihan. Huwag ipilit ng sino man na sa tingin nila may karapatan sila sa pagamit ng women’s toilet pero tatapakan ang kinagisnang karapatan ng kababaihan. Adding emotions to the controversial occurrence is not helpful in providing context not only to the pending SOGIE bill, but also to the concerns of both the LGBT and Non-LGBT rights proponents in the country", paliwanag ni Villanueva,” sabi pa ng kongresista.
