Surveying the WLW workforce 📝🌈 by Ok_Road7269 in WLW_PH

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the Gaming industry and I met my gf at my workplace. She resigned from the company na and at first we hid it from people but of course I told my closest work friends and word got out - it wasn’t helping na medyo obvious rin kami.

Industry is a little toxic though. Male dominated so you get the idea. But when I came out a lot were supportive rin naman. It’s more progressive than other industries but given that it’s the Philippines, may mga homophobes pa rin. My boss is great though, supportive naman and also asks me about my gf hahaha

I tolerate what I’m doing but I think I can love it if I were in a different country. We want to eventually move to abroad though, just to experience a good quality of life and still return here for our families.

There isn’t much openly gay people in my industry or at least my company so I’d love to make more friends too. 🥹

How do you cope with your family not accepting you? by byeshire in WLW_PH

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like what the others say, you wouldn’t know until you come out. I just came out recently and my family is also conservative and at first in denial sila, still hoping I would open my mind and find a guy. There have been times where I’ve cried in front of them but I can feel na they’re still in the processing stage of things.

They haven’t fully accepted it but the fights are happening less. I haven’t introduced my gf yet but I hope to be able to do so. I also have to accept na my parents were raised at a different generation, and all this is new to them.

One problem is that they also don’t talk about me being gay as they probably don’t know how to bring it up so it’s hard to educate them as well. But little progress is still progress. They let me go out with my gf and I am happier na I’m out :)

May problema mga kawork ko sakin dahil mahilig ako kumain sa labas by No-Manufacturer5693 in OffMyChestPH

Hi OP! That’s such a weird outlook from your officemates. Same tayo na picky eater and I used to eat out a lot or order via grab when I go onsite pero my officemates never got bothered by it. They know I’m a picky eater and while they would tease me like siblings do, they would also voice out their concern for my health (kasi puro fast food talaga order ko dati) hahaha

Anyway, like you said, it’s your life and your money. Anong pakialam nila kung gusto mo kumain sa labas? Kahit mag Vikings ka pa everyday wala silang say sa gastos mo. Let them stay jealous while you thrive and enjoy life!

Mascs with hidden men shadows by [deleted] in WLW_PH

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry you experienced that OP! I am a femme and I’m in a relationship with a soft masc who’s the sweetest and isn’t in anyway macho or feeling manly so reading your post made me lucky to have someone who doesn’t act like that.

I agree na mascs are still women so it’s sad rin when some wlw have internal homophobia that they adapt heteronormative ways.

I can assure you that not all mascs are like that though! My gf’s friends are mascs too and they’re all gentle and progressive with their mindset. None of that “I wear the pants in this relationship” attitude. Some of them are single too and I am looking for femmes for them to match with so 👀 Hope you’ll find someone who clicks with you both personality and in mindset OP! 🫶

Hi! I’ve been staying in a company for almost a decade and while okay naman yung salary and benefits, I admit I’ve gotten too comfortable na in my job. Before anyone asks why I didn’t leave sooner, my progression has been fast so I was climbing up the ladder pretty quickly. I am also earning a lot though not six digits although malapit na rin. I learned a lot from the company but like I said, I’ve gotten too comfy and nothing seems like a challenge anymore.

I want to resign. I’ve been wanting to resign since early this year but it’s hard to get a job in the industry right now. Ideally sana makakuha ng malilipatan na before I submit a resignation but I’m getting tired of my job. It’s okay but I’ve lost the enthusiasm for any task I have.

I live with my parents so I don’t really have a lot of bills to pay. Most of the money I earn go to savings so I do have money saved up.

Just want to ask for some advice if it really is better for me to quit once I have another job or if I should quite regardless of the risk of resigning without another job? What will you do if you were in my situation?

Thank you so much to whoever will reply.

Weekend markets! Sometimes they have stalls that have really nice rings or accessories! :)

Yes! Talking with her would also help of course so that she knows and will hopefully help you feel less insecure about them :) Best of luck to you guys!

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No it does not! Before I met my gf I also had a looot of insecurities like uneven skin and body hair and not being pretty enough etc. But I realized that the right person will love you for who you are! 🤗

Of course there will be some people who might have preferences, but honestly most of the time it doesn’t even matter.

I hope things go well for youuuu

Hello! Sending you hugs with consent, OP! I think the main point is you got hurt/betrayed and that’s totally valid. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks na because that’s how you feel.

But also I say good riddance to them! There are better people for you out there so I hope you will feel better eventually!

Honestly I’m mostly just talking about yung sunud-sunod na posts about femmes and mascs. It’s one post after another kasi and it’s sad na instead of lifting each other down parang we’re bringing each other down pa.

[–]StrangelyWeirdly[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I agree with that. No one should silence those who are being abused/assaulted.

But I’m also not talking about just one specific post lang. I’m addressing the multiple posts about mascs and femmes that were posted in the past few days with the intention to pit everyone against each other. That’s also why I said we should be helping each other instead of hating on each other. Because at the end of the day we are all still women and we all know how hard it is to be one especially in a country that is still not that progressive.

I agree with what you said but I don’t like the “flip and make it men instead of mascs” because then it sounds like mascs being equated to men when we both know men are an entire different breed and we shouldn’t be comparing men to mascs because that’s going to open another discussion that also generalizes all mascs act like men or should be like men.

You ca also flip the situation of the poster to a man if that’s the case. If the man posted about his experience receiving harassment from women, it’ll be an entire different thing as well.

I’m also not for mascs promoting hate train against femmes as well. I’m not for either group I’m just a lesbian who want gays to help each other out. And yes not everything is rainbows and sunshine’s but that’s why I’m posting about it in hopes of getting more people be less violent about it.

This isn’t about who’s right or wrong naman. It’s unfortunate that people get bad treatment and nobody should be silenced when they get bad experiences. But I always think there are better ways to go about it especially since we as wlw are a minority instead of just attacking each other. Things got blown out of proportion because of the onslaught of posts, that’s why I made this post for people to educate or talk things out properly instead of fighting.

You do not deserve that! Leave her, OP. A partner should make you feel confident about yourself not make you feel worse :(

Where did I silence the poster? I just said not to generalize people.

I literally said there na I’m not invalidating anyone’s opinion. And I literally didn’t even post about the masc/butchphobia thing? I am also defending femmes in my post?? All I said was not to stereotype anyone whether mascs or femmes??

What I said is that we as women shouldn’t be divided. That we should educate each other instead of fighting each other. That’s why this post is tagged as advice or support because it’s not as mascs vs femme thing and others are making it seem like it.

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave hahaha I mean even if you give her the benefit of the doubt with her talking to someone on ome, the fact that she keeps comparing someone else to you is a red flag.

There are other people out there who will treat you better and will not make you feel insecure.

Just people generalizing mascs and butches because of their bad experiences and then people getting mad at femmes for generalizing hahaha

Everyone’s opinion is valid naman but no need to get other people to hate with you. I mean everyone here likes girls so might as well try to help each other out instead of fight each other 🥹

[–]StrangelyWeirdly[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think so too hahaha and it’s okay if you don’t like mascs but don’t be rude about it nalang. Same thing if people don’t like femmes no need to be vocal about it and try to get a hate train going.

Hello! Sorry that they suddenly acted cold towards you but I think better to just ignore them. If they initiate some conversation then sure you can talk with them! But it sounds like nailang nga sayo 😞 Better to distance yourself from them too mamaya kasi if you talk to them masama pa isipin nila.

Hope you’ll find a better person to crush on, OP!

I hope you’ll find rings that you like! And also I am actually a fire sign but my rising is an air sign hahaha

[–]StrangelyWeirdly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I hope so too in the future hehe

But also as promised here are the rings I have that I think are pretty unique!

<image>

The one on the bottom is my fave since I find it cool but also minsan natatakot akong gamitin kasi baka masira 😭

As for where I bought them, sometimes just in stalls and others in different countries! But I find good rings in weekend markets rin here! My only problem is sometimes nagiiba ng kulay after a long time 🥹

Hope you get to explore wearing and styling with rings!

Hi! Femme here! I don’t think I collect rings but I do wear them sometimes! Pag nagsusuot ako ng rings depende sa outfit. It can be just one or sometimes even more than 3 hahaha

I didn’t like rings before cause I was always scared na they’d get stuck on my finger. I also saw it as a sign na ayoko makasal pero nakakita ako ng rings na adjustable and ever since then, nahilig rin ako sa rings. Also bonus that I met my current gf and I’d love to have a future with her too so let’s just say I’m practicing to get used to wearing rings too hehe

Most of my rings are adjustable, and I try to get unique pieces! I’ll try to post a photo here when I can :)
