When I have time, I reconnoiter new safe places for our sggurls so that they can meet in a safe comforable place, feel welcome and at the same time support lgbt businesses.
Neal Road is peppered with lgbt friendly bars. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Neil+Rd/@1.27925,103.8417907,20z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x31da196dec7e1a0b:0x72c8e9159c4e3df4!8m2!3d1.2780473!4d103.8405167!16s%2Fm%2F02625ym
As Covid curbs lift, bars that were once friendly to trans are no longer so. Friendlier to $$$ are they focussing on selling whisky bottles, segregrating the VIPs from the rest of us. Illuzion is definitely not friendly on the purse and I defnitely didn't feel welcome. The greeting I got when I walked in was, "you can sit outside." That's fine, I'll sit way way outside of their bar about 1km away. As we walked by other bars, the doors that were once open, were shut. They want the big spenders and not a few gurls that just want to hang out and get 1-2 drinks. Our paltry $ no longer satiate their revenue.
