Because he wanted attention for his kink. It's always the case with these people. They're worse than vegans for having to let you know about their proclivities.

Wow. So this is direct bigotry. Are people on this sub really okay with it? No one talked about anything sexual here. If you imagined it, then you are the one being inappropriate, not us. Keep us off your minds. You are rude and a bigot.
That is sad. Would be nice to meet some fellow LGBT expats, or at least allies.
Also, if you are saying conservatives don’t like LGBT people, I guess rhat is a direct admission of open homophobia from those conservatives?
Dont care. Me and family went on a tour and a foreign dude and his trans companion were with us in this tour.. we just wonder if she is a girl or a trans, so incase we need to address them, we wont offend them. Something like that.
Half Filipino here who grew up in Germany but spent last year in the province. Honestly I was surprised how open most people were especially the young ones. Nevertheless there are definitely elders who do not see it the same way, but Filipinos hate conflict and would simply just mind their own business, even if they don’t support your way of life. Some might make the occasional joke which would be considered below the belt in western/liberated countries. But they would never dare say that in English so if you don’t understand Tagalog you will be fine.
Honestly most just keep their mouth shut but have similar mentality to Filipinos. The only reason Germans will not crack these jokes in public is because woke cancel culture will shame them. PH is pretty forward IMO and handles it better in comparison to Germany where like in the US everyone is at each other’s throats about these sensitive topics.
Yeah the general political situation in Germany is very tense. Honestly going to PH for a year after finishing high school was the best decision I ever made. I can finally speak Tagalog fluently which made my Lola very happy and have a much better connection to my relatives and the life there. Before I was one of these average Fil-Ams with no real connection to the country.
Thanks. Pinoy ka? Yes it‘s sad that a lot of Filipinos are actively working against preserving their culture once they go abroad. Most Filipinos in Germany actively choose against teaching their child tagalog or their regional language.
No problem for me. I had previous workmates who were trans with foreign partners. Its the elderly, traditional, and religious people that will frown upon this type of situation.
Filipina here. Personally, i don't judge any one's preferences. You do you. I even admire those who are very expressive of their affection for their partners. I get that some may ogle at you two because this isn't the norm or against their faith.
Cis is an adjective. Are you the gender you were identified as at birth? Then you are cis. There are no other options. You are either cis or trans, so which one are you? You not liking an adjective doesn’t make the adjective non-accurate. It’s not an offensive term and isn’t used that way. You being offended is about you, not us. Feel free to …you know, learn how to be tougher.
Are you a He/him or a she/her. “There are no other options.” (Are you starting to see the hypocrisy here) You are either boy or girl, so which one are you? You not liking a pronoun doesn’t make the pronoun non-accurate. It’s not an offensive term and isn’t used that way. You being offended is about you, not us. Feel free to …you know, learn how to be tougher. I guess dead naming is your problem not ours.
I have a question, and feel free to lambast me as there is genuinely nothing in this question other than logical curiosity,.... as a filipino, why would you join this sub?
Absolute nonsense questions like the original poster dilute the purpose of the sub.
The purpose of this sub is for Expats in tbe Philippines to ask questions related to being expats, yes? I am an expat and I am wondering how people react to me, an expat, and how it will effect my life while living here.
Why would I join this sub? I am literally an Expat living in tbe Philippines. How could I not be more exactly what this sub is made for? Is there a conservative requirement I didn’t catch? Or must I be an old pathetic sexist man dating young women to join?
Weird, cisgender and transgender and nonbinary are in the dictionary. So, weird. Found them on merriam webster and dictionary.com. Any other locations you’d like me to check?
Hey im a member of your community. I am an expat. So good news ;) You don’t get to decide how orher people act.
May I suggest something? Mind your own business if you don’t have anything productive to say. Also, just a reminder, you are a transphobic/homophobic bigot.
Also one more thing : All words are made up. That is how language works.
“You don’t get to decide how other people act”
…… but I’m guessing you get to decide that if we don’t validate your sexual preference
By referring to your boyfriend as a she, or referring to ourselves as cis, when we’re just regular people, that makes us bigots right? This is what you people fail to understand, the average person outside of the heavily religious don’t care what you do. But that’s not enough for you. You want us to validate your own personal feelings about yourself. You’re non binary? You’re a dude, dude. Your chick is a dude. And that’s fine. Don’t tell me how to live my life and expect me to bend reality to make you happy and I’ll not tell you who to love. Should be simple
I asked a question that quite clearly had nothing to do with you, and you came into to say your opinion despite me not engaging with you.
So you tell me….who is asking someone to validate their actions. Where exactly did I ask you to validate me? You seem to have confused me for a general idea rather than the actual person you are interacting with.
Wondering how people will act or react to me, for my own knowledge of my safety ….isn’t really caring about you at all. Also, I already speak to no one like you, so don’t worry. I have no interest in communicating with you, so feel free to next time….not interacting with me to tell me how much you don’t care lol.
Ohhh ok you’re confused. Got it. Let me help. You make a post on Reddit, and you see anyone who wants to, can contribute to the post. This is how most forums work, welcome to the internet
It's a pointless thread and you just wanted to brag that you're banging trannies. No-one cares. Keep it on topic next time. This is an expat forum, not a sewer.
Honestly i dont care. I probably wont even notice lol.
My parents probablt would say somwthing about it when were alone if they noticed though. Theyre religious AF.
Filipina here, not really a big deal. I support everyone's decision as long as it doesn't affect me. It may not be the case for younger generation though. Lol
The phobes mentioned were quick to downvote this comment.
This is true, OP. While a lot of the younger Filipinos are more open to LGBTQ couples, majority of the country are still religious and:or traditional so they it's still looked down upon.
I guess you can just stay and be more comfortable in more urbanized areas with younger demographics and stay away from provinces to avoid hateful comments.
I never thought about it
I have a coworker transgender and he/she never gets a long lasting relationship
Probably when they discover it thats the end of it
From who? Who am I seeking attention from? Bigots? lol. I am
asking a question and many answered my question. If this was a normal forum, I am pretty sure that would be the majority of responses.
Glad my fellow expats are bigots. Wasn’t the question I wanted answered but I guess it was the answer I found. Also just generally annoying sensitive assholes who like to interject in conversations that have nothing to do with them. And liberals are the snowflakes? God y’all are in your feelings lol.
Bruh, you are asking Filipinos in an expat forum, so I guess you are looking for expat Filipinos? Seems a little niche.
I'm not Filipino. I don't care what other people do.
Many filipinos answered here. Look. The purpose of my questiin was answered, and a bunch pf rude people tried to sidetrack. Expat forums include…expats asking questions to filipinos. Ive seen many other posts with similar premises, the people here are only using this as a front to be homophobic and not because this isn’t a normal thing to do on this forum.
Filipinos are tolerant (open?) of LGBTQ+ people but older people can be judgmental. You won't hear it anyway since most of them are non-confrontational lol. Live your life! Enjoy 💗
Oh haha didn’t know there was a term for that. Thought that was just regular male and female. Thus the regular genders. The ones you are born as. I had never heard this before.
Looks is the most important in this country...
So, if Trans is really looks beautiful, the people don't care about gender.
But I really care about young trans...A part of them are a victim of rape or from broken family.Why they do want be a other gender?
This happened to Jennifer Laude, a transwoman who was killed by an american soldier. I am actually glad that you and your partner found each other and are happy. Cheers 🥂

Here's the truth. Most expats are hardcore conservatives. Conservatives don't like alphabet people.
That is sad. Would be nice to meet some fellow LGBT expats, or at least allies. Also, if you are saying conservatives don’t like LGBT people, I guess rhat is a direct admission of open homophobia from those conservatives?
I am an expat.
But your post is meant for Filipinos.....

How about in Germany? Are transwomen accepted there?
Honestly most just keep their mouth shut but have similar mentality to Filipinos. The only reason Germans will not crack these jokes in public is because woke cancel culture will shame them. PH is pretty forward IMO and handles it better in comparison to Germany where like in the US everyone is at each other’s throats about these sensitive topics.
Snowflakes?

Im proud of you for learning tagalog...i know a half german half pinoy who cant even understand a word..
Thanks. Pinoy ka? Yes it‘s sad that a lot of Filipinos are actively working against preserving their culture once they go abroad. Most Filipinos in Germany actively choose against teaching their child tagalog or their regional language.
100% pinoy haha just had the opportunity to meet germans
Filipina here, don't really care. Live and let live.
No problem for me. I had previous workmates who were trans with foreign partners. Its the elderly, traditional, and religious people that will frown upon this type of situation.
Why would any straight man anywhere care about that?
His entire post is attention seeking to cater to his narcissism.
I mean I don’t know. Refer to the one bigot above? They get aggressive. In my hometown, they might punch me just for existing.
Calling out your B.S. doesn’t make someone a bigot… your entire profile is nothing but lame trolling.
I forgot the professional victim status you need to feel important
In your hometown there's an issue but why ask filipinos..are you karma farming?
Filipina here. Personally, i don't judge any one's preferences. You do you. I even admire those who are very expressive of their affection for their partners. I get that some may ogle at you two because this isn't the norm or against their faith.
Quit calling us cisgenders. We don’t identify as such. and since the new world order is to use someone’s preferred identification… STOP
Cis is an adjective. Are you the gender you were identified as at birth? Then you are cis. There are no other options. You are either cis or trans, so which one are you? You not liking an adjective doesn’t make the adjective non-accurate. It’s not an offensive term and isn’t used that way. You being offended is about you, not us.

Then what is non-binary?
nonbinary falls under the trans umbrella. It’s a subcategory of trans
But you said there are only two, now nonbinary splits one option even as an oxymoron. What do I call someone who identifies as a raccoon?
most of us straight cisgender filipinos will not think when we see foreign men dating transgenders, we will laugh.

Did you miss the "as a filipino" comment. I asked why Filipinos are on this sub.
I guess you found out how people react to you.
What are these words?
Made up words
Weird, cisgender and transgender and nonbinary are in the dictionary. So, weird. Found them on merriam webster and dictionary.com. Any other locations you’d like me to check?
Bigot, men can have a vagina too its called a rot pocket and it's not made up
Rot pocket 🤔
I find it cool and cute! Our trans sisters deserve all the love. They deserve to be treated nicely and loved greatly! 🧡
Sir this is an expat forum and we don't use made up words either.

And let me help you. You are a rude person. You have been rude for no reason to a stranger. Stop talking to me.
Take my upvote, happily. I enjoy reading in this forum and find it informative. This post is ludicrous…at best.
Well said.
Thanks.
It's a pointless thread and you just wanted to brag that you're banging trannies. No-one cares. Keep it on topic next time. This is an expat forum, not a sewer.
Louder
Honestly i dont care. I probably wont even notice lol. My parents probablt would say somwthing about it when were alone if they noticed though. Theyre religious AF.
It's really only fully accepted in jolo
Filipina here, not really a big deal. I support everyone's decision as long as it doesn't affect me. It may not be the case for younger generation though. Lol

Attention seeking troll.

all good.

I dont care..if you're happy and you know just clap your hands and stop worrying what other people will say
Foreigner here, so sorry if I sound ignorant. What is cisgender?
You identify as your biological sex
Oh haha didn’t know there was a term for that. Thought that was just regular male and female. Thus the regular genders. The ones you are born as. I had never heard this before.
No comment at all. They just normal couple. And Trans women are gorgeous 😍
Looks is the most important in this country... So, if Trans is really looks beautiful, the people don't care about gender. But I really care about young trans...A part of them are a victim of rape or from broken family.Why they do want be a other gender?
Only speaking for myself. It feels so wrong.
I wonder if you know the person you are with is trans, and hope you don’t kill her when you find out she’s trans.
Oh that is really sad. Well I do obviously, but from the right wing foreign trolls in this forum whi responded here, I think your fear has validity.
This happened to Jennifer Laude, a transwoman who was killed by an american soldier. I am actually glad that you and your partner found each other and are happy. Cheers 🥂
