bakla.net was a shock site created by an unknown user in 2002, it is no longer active as of 2005.
The main page of the site displays a total of 6 pictures that are all lined up vertically, requiring the user to scroll down in order to see them. The first three images are photographs of a transgender woman wearing a white dress, the other three images depict the same woman, and in the final one, she is seen sitting on a bed while naked, exposing her breasts and penis.
Some photos were named 'China1', 'China2', and 'China3' by mistake. The woman in the photos is actually Filipino, not Chinese.
The term 'Bakla' is a Tagalog word from the Philippines; while it refers to a specific LGBTQ+ identity, it can sometimes be used as a derogatory term for gay or queer individuals. Although the woman in the photo is not actually "bakla", there are no term for transgender people in the Philippine language.
These photos could be taken as examples of Philippine stereotype. Due to the country's poor conditions, some individuals are forced into sex work to make a living.

The Philippines is commonly visited by foreigners not just as a place where "it's more fun" but also as a destination for "cheap" hookers (e.g "ladyboys" like from Thailand). Since the early 2020s, Philippines economy made it atleast possible to afford a living and the amount of sex workers have decreased drastically. However, "ladyboys" are still common but they're not locally seen as hookers by any means (unless you pay them).
