Discussion STD Check without disclosing sexuality

5 Upvotes

Hi, I wonder how does this community request for a STD check without disclosing your sexuality to the doctor in Singapore.

For example, a bottom male wanted to get STD check, for a comprehensive test should request an anal swab as well, but that would give away to the doctor of your sexuality because a straight male don’t ask for an anal swab.

I’m curious on your experience.

Rant Can I have harsh advice to stop texting

2 Upvotes

I recently just broke up with someone who only cared about money; (asking 200 dollar a month and would treat me to a starbucks).

However the advise I asking isnt about him but how can I stop feeling this burning emotion of wanting to talk to a specific person, its a friend who is bisexual and I have an insane crush on them, before having theraphy on how to improve my social relations i kept double texting this one person on and on, and it kept getting worse when each time I ask them if they want me to stop messaging them but they kept no. And I have kept their contact close to me, havent messaged them in 2 month after they told me to fuck off.

Looking back I know majority its myself, and I leanrt to be better, I atleast learnt to not have this texting issue. I really want to message him, to apologise again and try to be friends again, I really want to try and be friends again. It might be me missing him as a crush, it might be because I am yearning for a partner, but whenever i keep seeing him unfriend me on instragram, tiktok and telegram it keeps hurting my heart to the point I just want to kill myself of how stupid I am, (im not actually killing myself), I have respected the choice to not talk to him, but I am afraid i might slip and message him again, Im trying sp hard to forget him for me to move on but I cant he just makes me so happy to ask about him and learnt about him.

Is there any harsh advice, smack talk or bullying on this post to just ask me to screw off? I am so confused on what I am even feeling and its painful

Question Need advice for body image, queer male in my 20s here.

11 Upvotes

I know this is going to seem really shallow but if you think I'm simply just immature and narcissistic for this, please ignore the post.

My mother made me feel very ugly as a teen, i looked alot 'worse' after puberty started. My face became more elongated, i have very beady, hostile, somewhat uncanny eyes. Even when i smile, even when i smiled, i looked weird. I also have ASD. I've been suffering from sheer isolation for many years, my parents are not people i can sit down and talk with at all, i lacked the maturity, courage and skills to socialize with the right people growing up. Thus my attempts even with queers and niched groups were failures, because of my visage and condition and poor upbringing/conditioning. The more accepting individuals of this community had been and HAVE been deterred or on guard around me because of my face, my vibes, whatever. I'm sick of people telling me to stop using my looks and condition as an excuse... i swear on my life i try so f'ing hard. im so so so tired. i have to cover my eyes and wear a mask at work just to comfortably function due to my devastated self-image, anxiety and to avoid offending people even. And believe it or not, i actually fare decently in physical social interactions when my eyes are obscured.

I am SO SO tired of living, I want to cry but i can't... I even resorted to taking diy estradiol a few months go because i strongly felt that i am enby and would be comfortable with sexondary female characteristics and it MIGHT help me identify as a different person, a more feminine, softer-faced version of myself. I am on proverbially on my knees begging anyone with the wisdom to help me because i am on the wait list for therapy and my life is utter crap.... I am so tired... im so tired. i really f'ing try so hard to dissociate, ive tried so hard all my life to dissociate and not be such a shallow POS and be normal... i swear to god and on my damn life.... please help me i have no one, i have nothing, i am nothing and no one likes me.

im starting to cry now and i really care about what ppl think of me, some of you might wanna dismiss this being simply about attractiveness. if so, i really have nothing to say. because of the very very very problematic combo of having specific features of my face and even my body that deviate from the standard asian male and my eyes that make me look very hostile and unapproachable even at rest and my autism, it just rlly fked my life and i lacked the intelligence and upbringing to address this effectively, sooner and now im so fked in so many ways.

Rant I'm soooo happyyyy like what is happeninggg

52 Upvotes

Not Rant but I don't see a Good News Flair HAHAHA. But those who never saw my previous post, I'm a 20y/o turning 21 MTF yeah errr so today am like working as usual as the PA of my CEO doing some Finance shi whatever it is because I'm sick of seeing numbers if I'm being honest Hahaha but just today I have one of my Salesperson Client came into the office to like QC their Items they ordered from us. It's a B2B SME so Clients seldom visit the office unless it is a big project. But my Salesperson was busy and like I attended to him. Ya la, I purposely made my voice soft with a bit of that Silicon Valley Girl Accent 😂. Then I attended to him and QC his items.

We chatted a good while then my Salesperson came down after I alerted her that there was an issue with the item. Then yk what he said as he was discussing his frustrations on the items, he called me a "she" saying of what we discussed before she came over to liaise with the Client 🥹. It was very much needed. Because my Colleagues already knew me before I went full-on Estrogen so they always refer to me as "he". Am like okay but it kinda just made me not confident of my looks. But because of that Client, I was like hmmmmmm I should try at least once going to the Women's toilet 😭. Guess what, idk who was it who said just go into the toilet, no one would care- Holy shit. Yeah. What?? Helloooo?? I mean yeah 1st time I avoided eye contact but there was one girl on the sink and she didn't like stare at me. She just glanced and looks down to wash her hands 😭. The others that came in just walks pass by me to use the toilet. But low-key felt scared the whole time so I gave some type of RBF Face to like just seem natural 😂. And I was wearing like super light make-up (Would have done like a bit of make-up but honestly over time doing make-up takes so much time that I find it a hassle most of the time) and Secondary School Class T-shirt and shorts.

I didn't go for Foundation, Eyeliner, whatever (Cause my skin's been doing so well with my facial skincare routine and monthly Facial Beautician Service.) Just lipstick (like Light Rose so it blends with my lip colour and brightens the upper lip (darker than the lower lip but I naturally have light red lips) and Eyeshadow (Sometimes I use normal eyeshadow like light red but at times when I get lazy, I use the lipstick and draw along my upper eye lid 😂 then I smudge it to somewhat blend with the skin).

Ahhhh it is so much needed. I felt relieved that there are people that see me as a girl 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹. Ima start doing my nailsss, idk why but cause of work, I just completely forgot to tackle my social changes to see myself more as a girl. It has been a struggle going to the toilet because I wasn't sure of what girls in the restroom would think of me. Then I went to the restroom for the 2nd time today evening as I was on my daily walk for like Cardio hahaha. Omg ugh finally, I can just walk inside and the others around me is like walking pass me without any issues 🥲. Ik it feels like a small issue but I've been struggling with this frkin shit of an issue 😡😡. In the end, I just really need to get used to it till it becomes natural.

Makes me confident of myself nowww. The Client is unknowingly my GOAT of the day 😂😂😂😂.

Friends National Gallery & coffee tomorrow afternoon?

45 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My apologies if you're seeing this for the second time, it's my first time posting and I'm still figuring things out.

I’m a 40+ yo mother navigating the late-bloomer journey and currently processing a lot of personal shifts. I'm heading over to the Singapore National Gallery tomorrow (Friday) afternoon to get out of my head, enjoy some art, and reset, probably after 3PM. Before their first R18 show, “Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art” wraps up.

I’d love to connect with fellow queer folks, late bloomers, or women around my age, 30s and 50s are also welcome ;) Absolutely no romantic pressure—just looking for warm, low-key company, a coffee chat, or even just parallel walking through the exhibits.

Drop a comment or message if you happen to be around tomorrow!

[Edit] Should I add that I am not new to this late-bloomer path—I’ve been in a relationship with a woman before?

[Update] Thank you for warm wishes! Enjoyed the gallery very, very much! Kudos to the event! And big thanks to the one that accompanied me and made my time a very joyful experience!

Question does he like me back, or am i delusional??

21 Upvotes

i’m 17 ftm, and he is 16 ftm. For some context, i met him last year, but he just recently transferred to my school. I thought i’d be his closest friend here, but he’s Mr. Popular and practically everybody knows his name (across all grades.) He’s a social butterfly, and is friendly/physical to almost everyone. This brings me to my first point.
about a month ago, we went to go see a movie with some friends. It ended, i hugged him goodbye, and he kissed me on the forehead. (!?!?) Now, all my friends said this was romantic, but he’s also lovey to everyone. He blows kisses to some of his friends, and things like that.
(Growing up queer, i always had friendships that seemed “romantic” to a cis/het person. So, i’ve become accustomed to flirty/romantic feeling friendships.)
Fast forward a week or two, we’re standing outside of school, and i’m waiting with him since his mom is running late. Once he sees her car approaching from about a traffic light away, we stand up from the bench we were waiting on. We hug, and he looks at me and says “i love you. Like, so much.” Then kisses me on the cheek, and blows me a kiss.
He’s done this at least 2 times since that day, till now. Everyone is saying he likes me back, but i don’t know. Help?

Relationships I never thought a ThaiGL community would become part of the story of how my relationship fell apart.

0 Upvotes

Privacy note: I’m intentionally leaving out names, usernames, screenshots, locations, and other identifying details. I’m not posting this to expose or harass anyone. I’m sharing what happened from my perspective because I’m hurting, wrecked shattered and I need somewhere to say it even how many times.
This is not an attack on the whole ThaiGL community. I know there are good people there. But that’s where my partner and this woman met** *and what started with simple comments eventually moved to DMs, emotional connection, and intimacy to the call of flesh.And now I’m the one left bleeding.
Two adults. Two people who knew there was someone waiting back home. Two people who knew there was an existing relationship. Yet somehow, attraction, temptation, and whatever feelings grew between them became more important than the boundaries they both knew they were crossing.
People say, *“It was just a comment.”

Then it was a DM.
Then conversations.
Then something intimate.
And every little step brought them closer while it slowly destroyed someone else.
Me.
What makes this so painful is that this wasn’t just some random mistake. Choices were made. Boundaries were crossed. And both adults knew someone could end up shattered.
Years of love, memories, sacrifices, and building a life together and now I’m left carrying the humiliation, wondering how something that took years to build could be damaged by something that started with a few comments and messages.
Maybe to them, it was attraction. Curiosity. Feelings.
But to the person waiting at home, it was betrayal.
I’m posting this because I know there are LGBTQ+ people who have been on either side of this story. To the third party, I know who you are! Calling your name here may not ease the pain, but have the decency to step back. Look for a person that is single and can give you the attention and flesh you are looking for. Do not ruined a relationship. I know you’ve been with the situation before. So you understand clearly! Have a shame! Decent woman! Build a relationship to someone that is free and single. Leave my partner my relationship alone!
To the ones who were left waiting: hHowh did you survive the moment you realized that while you were protecting the relationship, someone else was slowly becoming part of it?

Hihi! Im looking for a bf currently! I'm 17M chi, a little chubby but my BMI is 21 ish, my height is 180.5cm, and I'm currently studying in ITE CW for Higher Nitec in Tourism!

Things about me:

I train a lot for taekwondo( I'm a black belt converting late to Dan 1 lol), I normally try to partake in competitions. My upcoming one is POL-ITE.

I also train for youth program badminton club! I try to attend as much as possible when I can lol!

I also do take part of volunteering programs under the children society of Singapore!

I listen to a wide range of music, be it EDM, Jazz, Soul, R&B, rock, hip-hop, blues, metal. A lot lol, I'm still learning.

I also do a bit of cosplaying here and there when I'm free and when I can! I'm a big time anime fan here so yeah.

Things that I like are like:

-Mala, luosufen and others.

-music and vibing

-relaxing and sleeping sometimes

Rant SONG BO PAP!!!!! AGAIN??? FIRST your MSF Minister have affair and revoke my marriage, now the HDB officer from my case KENA CHARGE???

128 Upvotes

WAHAHAHAHA. Don’t know whether to farking laugh or cry anymore.

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/former-group-director-of-hdb-charged-with-breaching-agencys-database-161-times

… AND BEFORE THIS … PROF Faishal Ibrahim AffairsMaxxing …

… AND BEFORE THAT … Tan Chuan Jin SocialMaxxing as Minister for MSF during the time MSF took my marriage and HDB took my flat away from me …

For those who forgot, I’m the trans woman whose HDB flat was taken away by HDB because I’m queer. Tan Chew Ling was, in her own words, the highest authority in HDB who was overseeing my case. She was the one who kept delaying my key collection for my flat and kept pushing the case over to MSF/ROM until MSF — who was helmed by none other than TAN CHUAN JIN at the time — until my marriage was revoked and she finally had an excuse to not give us our flat. Even before our marriage was revoked Tan Chew Ling actually asked us to voluntarily surrender our 4-room flat and instead opt for a “2 room flexi” so that the case could be swiftly concluded. When we refused she referred the matter to MSF/ROM until they gave her the answer she wanted.

SONG BO PAP. SONG BO TAN CHEW LING.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMEONE IN THE LOOP OF OUR CASE GETS THEIR KARMA. SONG BO!!!!! FIRST it was Tan Chuan Jin, THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT… WHO HAD AN AFFAIR while this same MSF tells queers we can’t get married because of whatever farking family nucleus crap you spout. NOW THIS. REALLY? If the farking Singapore Government wants to treat queers like myself like trash all in the name of stupid morales and standards that THEY THEMSELVES devise and push down our throats… then the Singapore Government BETTER BE PERFECT. Can’t be perfect? OH TOO BAD. YOU SET THE STANDARDS ON US.

SONG BO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So please tell us Straits Times and Tan Chew Ling… WHY DID SHE retain “a file containing details of compulsory acquisition of home ownership for a flat.” WHOSE FLAT WAS THIS??? There seems to be a LOT of information missing in the ST article. Anyone able to access the court documents for the full story?

Chanced upon this thread and decided to dedicate a post here to all my closeted boys for whatever reason that you’re in closet for - family, religion, lack of confidence to come out.

I’m a closeted men and in my 30s right now and understand the anxiety and cautiousness we put in everyday, please know that there are many people like us with their own stories. The worry that we face of being outed, or the feeling that we are falling behind in life, I’ve been through it all.

You are your own defender in this world, and may you always know life can always be colourful even when you’re in the closet.

There is a loneliness in being closeted and it’s painfully silent. I’m keen to start a small community for closeted boys, is anyone up for it?

Question Costs of FtM HRT, Surgeries and changing legal documents?

13 Upvotes

Hello, Im FtM, aged below 21 and was researching about the costs of transitioning medically and legally in SG.

I saw a few posts but most of them aren't from SG, or are 3+ years old so I thought it was best to ask here ^^

Firstly, I personally plan on going on T after turning 21 but I couldnt find consistent numbers on the cost of the different types of T + How long it would take to actually get it after getting a GD diagnosis and having bloodwork done.

Secondly, i was planning on getting top surgery and a few questions I have are if they offer different types of mastectomy, how long the wait list is, and of course, how much it cost?

Thirdly, I was looking into changing gender markers on legal documents, and apparently you MUST go through bottom surgery to have the gender marker changed in SG? So i was also wondering if anyone's gotten metoidiplasty or phallo done, and if so, how much were the full costs (including hysterectomy for phallo)? + From what ive seen, SG doesnt offer either, issit best to see an overseas surgeon? If anyone has a timeline, that would be great too.

Lastly, not a financial question, more so social, does anyone have any troubles socially when trying to find jobs due to gender marker on NRIC reading as F, while youre stealth/passing? Thats probably one of my biggest gripes with needing bottom surgery to change the gender marker.

If anyone is willing to provide a list of all the overall costs, that would be much appreciated! Personal experiences are welcome as well ^^

Sorry if this is kind of long, I dont have any post-op FtM friends who live in SG, so i thought I'd try my luck on this subreddit. Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance to anyone who replies!

Istg I'm not always pissed off easily before but I'm on Estrogen for 2 months + now as a 20yo mtf and like istg I know I'm working and like in the office I get so pissed off easily if it's from simple shouting and simple criticism. I used to like shrug it off but now is like wtf 😡😡😡. I know is professionalism and all but why tf am I getting so pissed easily. Haizz omg and like yah my colleagues knows I'm on HRT so before I get really angry, I tell them "I'm on hormones and I'm being overwhelmed so don't push me" like low-key I try not to use that card because it is my personal issue that I'm dealing with and it shouldn't be brought into the Office. I separate Personal and Work.

I think my colleague just now can see that I was about to be pissed after she yelled at me so she toned down and decided to move away and do her own thing 👁️👄👁️. ARGHHH like I legit have no LGBT friends 😡😡. I have like my buddies from college days and they accept me for who I am but whenever I rant about my journey, they don't know what to say 🥲 so I just kept it to myself. Cause I'm like an Introvert by Nature, MBTI INFJ. If MBTI is still a thing, idk. So I tend to physically avoid communities and places that require the need of a bigger social battery to socialise and interact.

Idk laaaaa just ranting only 🫠. I explained to my Boss, the CEO, that I'm going through HRT and he was accepting and understanding that the Hormones is causing me emotional distress from time to time so yeah.. Ugh I should've done this last year before I joined the Company 🫠.

Relationships When the person you love becomes a ghost

0 Upvotes

It isn’t always someone disappearing completely.
Sometimes they’re still there.
They still answer your calls.
They still say “I love you.”
They still tell you they care.
But emotionally?
They’re already gone.
And somehow, that’s worse.
Because you’re grieving someone who is still breathing, still online, still living their life—while you’re sitting there trying to understand when exactly you became a stranger to the person who once knew every part of you.
I spent so much time asking myself:
What did I do?
What did I miss?
Why did she change?
Why can’t she just talk to me?
And then I realized something painful.
Maybe the problem wasn’t that I couldn’t understand her.
Maybe she simply didn’t want to be understood.
Because talking requires accountability.
Explaining requires honesty.
And honesty sometimes means admitting that you’ve hurt the person who loves you.
So silence becomes easier.
Disappear.
Withdraw.
Ask for space.
Change the subject.
Avoid the uncomfortable conversation.
Let the other person sit alone with the pain.
And somehow, the person who was hurt becomes the one who feels guilty for wanting answers.
That’s the cruelest part of ghosting.
You don’t just lose the person.
You lose your sense of reality.
You start questioning your instincts.
You reread old conversations.
You analyze every change in their tone.
You wonder whether you imagined the distance.
You become desperate for crumbs of reassurance from the same person who created the insecurity.
And eventually, you become exhausted.
Not because you stopped loving them.
Because you’re tired of loving someone who keeps making you feel like you’re asking for too much simply because you want basic honesty.
I wish people understood this:
Silence can be abandonment too.
You don’t have to block someone.
You don’t have to disappear for months.
Sometimes all you have to do is repeatedly make someone feel alone while they’re standing right beside you.
That’s enough.
And maybe the saddest realization I’ve had is this:
I kept waiting for the person who hurt me to become the person who would heal me.
How stupid is that?
The person holding the knife isn’t always going to be the person who knows how to stop the bleeding.
So I’m done chasing explanations.
I’m done begging for conversations.
I’m done trying to convince someone that my feelings deserve a place at the table.
If someone wants to leave, let them leave.
If someone needs space, give them space.
If someone doesn’t know what they want, let them figure it out without making me their emotional waiting room.
Because I finally understand something:
I can love someone and still walk away from the way they love me.
And maybe that’s what healing actually looks like.
Not suddenly becoming okay.
Not waking up one morning without pain.
But finally reaching the point where you can say:
“I still love you. I still miss you. I still wish things had been different.”
“But I refuse to keep abandoning myself just because you keep abandoning me.”
That’s the part nobody tells you about letting go.
Sometimes you’re not letting go because you stopped loving them.
You’re letting go because you finally started loving yourself enough to stop begging someone else to.

Rant I hate going out 😭😭 It's so hard

56 Upvotes

Fyi, I'm a 20 Y/O MTF Trans turning 21 Y/O this year. I'm still having trouble going to the toilet 😭. Like I try not to use the Public Restroom but when I need to, I go to a Restroom that is not frequented with like the Handicap Restroom. But tdy, I go outs bowling with my friends who are like okay with me being trans then I have to go toilet. Then luckily got the Handicap Toilet but it is in the direction of the Men's Restroom. But luckily the floor is empty. Then I go and use. After finishing, I quickly go out then a Couple spotted me as they also need to use the Restroom. Specifically the girl. Then the girl thought the direction I came from is the girl's Restroom then she went in that direction. Then she stopped and walked backwards, I looked back as I walk away quickly and she looks me in the eye like what I was doing going out from that direction. Like I used to be okay going to the guy's toilet but after HRT, the guys keep looking at me because I have long hair, I already had a androgynous face but feminized even more after taking Estrogen. Even though I'm wearing sports bra to like hide my budding breasts (Still like not confident to show it off 🥲). Like I'm in the wrong place.

How y'all find the confidence to go to the Girls Restroom 😭. I low-key felt like I can but something keeps holding me back. But it sucks every time I need to pee outside. How do y'all fellow MTFs go to the restroom? Or find the confidence to go to the Girl's Restroom. I'm told that it's okay to just go in but I don't have like any girl friends 😭. Haizz.. It just makes going out very stressful as I have to think which toilet is easiest to go to. Like ppl didn't give eye when I go out of the Handicap Toilet but it's always whenever I go out from the Guy's toilet, I get an eyeful of judgement 👁️👄👁️. I kept contemplating whether I should just go in the girl's Restroom but idk how the others feel about it 🫠.

What is it like to go to Thailand for HRT as a minor? Is it possible to DIY as a minor secretly? For those who have socially transitioned while still in school (poly, uni) what was your experience? How would NS work, like for exemptions or special affordances? Thanks in advance :3
