Because all the conversation I’ve seen has been against Trans Women going to women’s restrooms. Which is strange to me because, according to the twisted concept of TERFs, Trans men are not men (even though they are), but “women”.

Aren’t they worried about “women” going into men’s bathrooms?

    I remember being at a bar… Queue out the door for the ladies, mens almost empty.

    One of the girls in the queue said something like “I wish we could use the mens” as a comedy throwaway.

    I said “do it, if you’re comfortable doing so, we don’t care”. I mean, there are still stalls with doors right?

    Half a dozen very relieved ladies bolted for the mens.

    I like to think I made some people’s evening just a little better that night.

      The most satisfying part is when it doesn’t even affect our line. Women are heading to our stalls where as most men are using urinals so we still get through just as fast

      That’s the really crazy thing: the entire bathroom issue was manufactured in the first place because the damn signs on the doors never had any legally-enforced meaning to begin with!

        Plus, I’ve never glimpsed another bathroom-goer’s potty parts in a public bathroom. It’s such a made-up non-issue.

          It does happen and it is uncomfortable, regardless of whom. Situations im thinking about include

          • urinals extremely close together with no dividers, or even troughs
          • urinals with overly narrow dividers so you have to stand at an angle or stand way back (or maybe I just have broad shoulders)
          • extra cringe if that is right next to the kids urinal
          • locker room - parts is parts and I understand you need to bring your kid in but your little girl really shouldn’t be here. She’s old enough to use women’s locker room on her own. At least have her use the privacy stall
