JAKE ZYRUS TELLS OFF bASHER WO CALLED HIM "CHARICE"
Sa Instagram nitong nakaraang June 20, 2024, nag-post si Jake ng kasabihan mula sa Russian novelist na si Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Nakasaad dito: “A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel. - Fyodor Dostoevsky"
Nilakipan ito ni Jake ng dalawang larawan niya at ng isang kasabihan mula naman sa American writer at human rights activist na si James Baldwin.
Ayon sa mensahe: "The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose. James Baldwin"

Isang netizen ang nagkomento sa post ni Jake.
Ayon dito, sayang ang boses ni "Charice." Ikinumpara pa nito si Jake kay Ice Seguerra na isa ring trans man.
Buong komento ng netizen: "Sayang boses mo Charice. Bakit si Ice Seguera trans man pero never binago ang boses. Sayang talaga"
Tila nagpanting ang tainga ni Jake pagkabasa ng komento ng netizen.
Tinawag kasi siya ng netizen sa dati niyang pangalan na inilibing na niya sa limot pagkatapos niyang mag-transition.
Ang tawag dito ay "deadnaming" o pagtawag sa isang transgender sa kanilang birthname gayong kinalimutan na nila ito bilang bahagi ng kanilang pagbabagong katauhan.
Sabi ni Jake sa netizen, "first of all, with respect to my past, keep my deadname out of your silly mouth."
Tungkol naman sa pagkukumpara sa kanila ni Ice, sinabi ni Jake na hindi nagte-take ng hormone therapy ang dating child star. Isa raw itong malaking bahagi ng pagiging trans man.
Aniya, "And darling, it’s because he hasn’t taken any hormone therapy. It’s a HUGE part of being a transman.
"maybe there are more important reasons why he hasn’t taken hormone therapy. I am not going to explain the rest because based on your comment you sound ignorant."
Dahil tila gusto raw ng netizen na maging "center of attraction" ay pagbibigyan ito ni Jake sa pamamagitan ng pagpi-pin niya sa komento nito.
"Google is free my darling. I’m going to pin your comment because it seems like you love being center of attention. So let’s give it to you sweetheart. Have a nice day."

TRANSPHOBIA
Sabi naman ng isang fan ni Jake, ang komento ng basher ay nagpapakita ng bias nito laban sa mga transgender.
Saad ng fan, "yikes! Your transphobia is showing sis. Before you comment maybe you should do some research. the only thing sayang is you coming on here just to write some trash ass comment. K bye have a nice day"
Tugon ni Jake, "right. You support a trans, and bash another trans because of what? Birit? Yun lang? Make it make sense sis. Hater. Being a transgender is more than just singing high or low notes."
Dagdag pa ni Jake, "and the audacity of you to deadname me and properly call Ice his real name. What a joke."

JAKE: "I DON'T FEEL PAIN NO MORE."
Isa namang supporter ang nagpaabot ng kanyang simpatiya kay Jake. Pinuna rin nito ang basher dahil hinanap lamang daw nito ang account ni Jake upang husgahan ito.
Sabi ng fan, "what gives YOU the right to come on his instagram to come and judge him. We come on here to show our love and support to Jake, but it’s people like YOU who are too ignorant to educate yourself. If you don’t have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. Keep your opinions, insults, judgements, etc to yourself
"We love you Jake, don’t let people like this ruin your day"
Sagot ni Jake, hindi na siya nasasaktan sa mga ganitong komento. Wala na raw kasi siyang emosyong nararamdaman dahil sa trauma.
Aniya, "aw it won’t... Thank you. Trauma has removed so much of my emotions lol. For some reason I don’t feel pain no more. Completely numb.
"So this only mentally bothers me BUT it doesn’t ruin my day. Hope I’m making sense hahahab We won’t stay quiet no more with these kinds of people. I know there’s a lot out there but she got lucky because I had a little time today."
Noong May 2023, ilang linggong nawala sa social media si Jake Zyrus.
Ayon kay Jake, kailangan niya munang pagtuunan ng pansin ang kanyang mental health.
Mayroon daw kasing puwersa na nais siyang warakin kaya kailangan niyang bumuwelta sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagaling.
