Nag-viral ang repost ni Awra Briguela noong April 16, 2026, kung saan makikita siyang tumitingin ng sanitary napkin at feminine wash sa isang grocery store.
Naka-caption sa original uploader: "pinayagan na ngang maging bacla tapos gaganyan pa"
Caption naman ni Awra sa kanyang post: "hehehe soon to be biological woman"
Hindi lahat ng netizens ay natuwa sa caption ng showbiz personality.
May nagsabi pang kahit magpaopera si Awra, hindi pa rin mababago ang katotohanang lalaki siya.
Saad ng isang netizen: "True inclusion starts with respect. Purchasing sanitary pads might feel like a milestone for your journey, but for biological women, these aren't aesthetic choices—they are part of a cycle that involves physical pain and reproductive health.
"You can embrace your womanhood without claiming a biological reality that isn't yours to take. Let's keep the 'biological' labels for the science, and the 'euphoria' for your personal growth."
Ayon sa isa pa: "A gay man (assigned male at birth) can transition to become a woman, but they cannot become a biological woman.
"Medical technology allows for transitioning (hormones/surgeries) to align physical appearance with gender identity, but this does not change original biological markers like chromosomes (XY) or the ability to produce eggs."
Paalala naman ng isa: "Menstruation, pregnancy, PCOS, Menopausal.. lahat yan nae-experience ng isang biological women na kung pwede lang sana, hindi kami yung maka-experience.
"The pain, hormonal imbalance, giving birth, body changes.. — hindi joke lahat ng ‘to. But we don’t have a choice.
"So please if hindi mo nararanasan lahat ng ‘to, hindi ka BIOLOGICAL WOMAN.
"Respect should go both ways. Sana pati utak naooperahan din ‘no?"

"BIOLOGICAL WOMAN"
Kinabukasan, April 17, ni-repost ni Awra ang post ng isang netizen tungkol sa terminong "biological woman."
Ayon sa netizen, hindi tamang ikumpara ang nararamdaman ng tunay na babae sa ibang nagpi-feeling na babae. Kawalang-respeto raw ito sa mga totoong babae.
Maaari naman daw tayong mamuhay nang pantay-pantay at may respeto sa bawat gender identity.
Ayon sa post: "Bilang isang babae at ina, I deeply value what my body has gone through—pregnancy, childbirth, and raising my children. Those are experiences that are real, physical, and deeply personal.
"I respect that everyone has their own identity and journey. However, using the term 'biological woman' in a way that isn’t medically accurate feels misplaced to me. There is a clear difference between identity and biology, and I believe both deserve to be understood properly.
"Respect should always go both ways. I can honor your truth, and I hope the same respect is given to the realities that define womanhood for many of us.
"We can coexist with mutual understanding—without diminishing each other."

AWRA BRIGUELA issues clarification
Noong April 18, nagpaliwanag si Awra tungkol sa kanyang post.
"Joke" lang daw ang kanyang post.
Saad niya: "Just to clear things up that post was a joke it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously at all.
"And yes, I’m fully aware of what 'biological' means. I wouldn’t joke about something I don’t understand, which is why I didn’t expect people to take it literally.
"But I also get why some people might have felt a certain way about it. That wasn’t my intention at all."
Idiniin ni Awra na mataas ang respeto niya sa mga babae at naintindihan niya ang kanilang mga sakripisyo.
Hindi raw niya intensiyong i-invalidate ang kanilang nararamdaman.
"I have nothing but respect for women, and I recognize how real and valid your experiences and struggles are. I would never intentionally invalidate that.
"If it came across differently, then it’s a misunderstanding on how it was received vs. how it was meant.
"At the end of the day, it was just me being playful online not something meant to hurt anyone.
"Let’s keep it kind and not turn everything into hate," sabi ni Awra.
