"In the wider community, perceptions were similarly mixed. Many people are unaccustomed to using the word 'waria' to describe transgendered people. More often they use offensive terms like 'banci' and 'bencong'.

Ibu means 'mother' and Pak means 'father'. These words are used as affectionate honorific titles for old people, prefixed to a person's given name.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride
