Kylie, daughter of Sen. Robin Padilla and niece of BB, recalled feeling nothing but pride when BB came out as a transgender woman. She shared that during her teenage years, she also struggled with expressing her identity and found BB’s courage deeply inspiring. BB Gandanghari, in turn, expressed her initial concern about how her transition would affect her younger relatives.
