Was on my way home inside the FX, when at an intersection, two apparently pretty girls in their short shorts caught everyone's attention, especially the male passengers.

To the guys' delight, the red light was on and we're first in line. They're in for a treat as these two are about to cross in front of us. Or so the guys thought.

As the two unknowing souls passed by in front of us, so did everybody's head turning in their direction as they walk the opposite side of the street.

Aside from their attention-seeking, hip-hugging, centimeter-deprived shorts; we're all looking at two pairs of flawless and hairless legs, shiny and rebonded tresses, and cleavage revealing tight tops. One is tall and skinny while the other is shorter but more voluptuous.

But....

Is it Adam's apple on their throats?

I should have known.

I had to give it to my two sisters (or brothers) for breaking the monotony. Even I, for a moment, mistook them for real woman. Had I not realized that no decent Filipina would roam around the streets in those shorts that will almost reveal one's butt cheeks, I would never know. And yes, their shorts were that short!

Manong FX driver was too entranced by what we saw. He was still oggling at the two when the cars at the back started honking that he only realized it's already green.

Sure enough, when minutes before that, the then yawning passengers were now talking agitatedly to their companions.

"Akala ko babae talaga, eh. Bading pala!"

"Mas maganda pa sa totoong babae. Ang gaganda ng legs!"

Even Manong driver joined in the babble.

"Hindi mo na alam kung sino totoong babae ngayon, eh."

Which is very true. With the help of female hormone-inducing pills and silicon for fake boobs and butts, gays - with their once very male bodies - slowly metamorphed into almost womanlike physique.

Had Manong known of discreet, manly gays, which I'm sure he doesn't (I said discreet) - he will be saying:

"Hindi mo na alam kung sino totoong lalake eh!"
