The main difference is the gender-bending Filipino film The Thank You Girls is about five "trannies" (transsexuals) with names like Queen of the Third and Miss Galaxy, who make their way by bus to gay beauty pageants across the Philippines, cat-fighting, insulting each other over their weight and related ugliness and practising questions about world affairs and gay rights with pageant-ready banal pat answers in English.
