All sissies are gay? All gay are sissy? This is one of the most common misconception by the society. For example, from 1 entry I remember a brother of someone mentioned "actually i knew you were a pondan when we were younger"
Sissy come from the word sister - refers to guy who exhibit effeminate behaviour. However this word also refers to guy who is weak and cowardly. For example please refer to the picture below, can you identify which of these guys are the real "sissy"? I am not saying muscular hunky people are sissy, just that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover - hope those hunky, 6-pack abs, marvelicious muscular reader out there don't be angry, k.... hahahaha
In Malaysia, especially the Muslim (although not all) looks down on the sissies and treat them as some kind of disease. This is to be proven by the recent news from Terengganu. Please read Boot camp in Malaysia for effeminate boys slammed (Posted by Deicidal earlier) - I was offended by the news. In Sarawak, this news occur.
Now talking about counseling, what type of counseling do you want to give? Counseling on job - can be accepted. Counseling on behaviour changes - not a good idea. Counseling on converting the gay sissy to be straight - good luck on that, you only waste your money.
Not all sissy are gay and they can be straight too. Their action are pretty gentle, which looks quite effeminate to others. Deep inside, they are just being themselves and pretty sure that they are not gay. Let this character in a movie give you an insight of such person.
As conclusion: Not all gays are sissy and not all sissies are gay.
Last of all, for you who have such friend or family member, accept them as who they are. They suffer more than us. I attribute this song to them "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga played by Maria Aragon. Just be yourself, you are good just the way you are, even if the society rejects you, knows that you are never alone!!!

sissy/pondan/ is associated with the feminine characteristics, gay may/may not be sissy :)
ReplyDeletetotally agreed kidz. n Like ur quote as well!
ReplyDeletesomehow i think the sissy-ness or not is based on how the person think of the face problem. if he is someone who care much, he will act to be strong, but no one know how he think or feel inside. correct me if im wrong.
I find the way the muscle guy lift his leg in the fourth column is very entertaining! LOL
ReplyDeleteOhya, people just tend to generalize matters... It's just pretty normal lah~
At least they are the Queen...and they got poise and class with them as well.
ReplyDeleteCommon mistake :) If they only knew some of most macho fellows around are gay!
ReplyDeleteOh my... I have a blog referral! *kowtows in gratitude*

And yes, people stereotype. Can't really help that. Some people like that doctor in your link, just want to profit from all the ruckus. I hate runner-up opportunists like that.
Nice comic strip btw.
nice blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell well well...whenever i talk about "gay" to my friend, they will directly connect with sissy. In fact, both things are different.
ReplyDeleteits like that in life. stereotyping never ends. as a matter of fact, i think like 55% of the dudes looking so buffed up in gyms are gay, where as the others who are just so so are straights.
ReplyDeletenevertheless, my radar never went off. proven with my acquaintance lately. XD
