Restroom visit, ladies or man?

One other point in favor of single occupant bathrooms: I think everyone, regardless of sex or "identity" has, at one point or another, been at "DEFCON 1" (immediate nuclear release is imminent) and the only empty bathroom happens to belong to the other sex. Yours is stacked four deep, and the guy who just went in brought a newspaper.

You saw 'theirs' empty, said "fuck it" and dove right in there, locked the door, and prevented a catastrophe for everyone present. I did this once, got the stinkeye from the next in line (female) who asked me, rhetorically, "Really?!" and I just looked back at her and said, "yeah" and went back to my table.

If you gotta go, you gotta go...

Boarding up urinals is asinine and only makes the waiting lines worse.

Indeed. I see no logical sense in causing delays for men to serve the politically correct cause of 'equality'.

I just think it would be quicker if more women learned to stand up and use urinals so we could have a choice of those in ladies toilets and not just have them in the men's really. I know it will not happen because it would be such a big change in attitudes and habits and learning new skills. I have been in empty men's toilets with my husband 4 times and stood and used the urinal next to him. I have done it once with a lot of other women too when we were desperate one night and we went into the men's and took over because the ladies room was just too full. I have been standing to do it all my life so I think it is quick and easy and I make no mess. I do not sit on toilets but I hover if it is easier than standing because of what I am wearing. There is just the privacy thing about being in stalls but really I think using urinals is good.

I do not think I would feel very comfortable using unisex toilets though. I have never been in one and really I think we should just keep one room for men and the other for ladies. Maybe we should keep it simple.

I think men who are cross dressing as women should just use the men's. But I think it is different if they are transgender post op, I think that is ok for them to use the ladies room and it makes sense because they are really living as women now.

Yes! I agree with that.

Post-op is a whole different ball game.

OMG. I punned. I have to PUNish myself.

Need a stay at the punitentiary?

As for the topic of this thread, I have used both mens and womens bathrooms. I don't cross dress, but people here really don't seem to care.

In school the ladies was being painted, with two male workmen in it. I went in (despite the sign because putting up an A4 page isn't going to stop my bladder from filling and I could easily avoid the walls) and the two poor painters started to leave. I just told them that the doors covered everything and they should relax, nobody here cared. And nobody did.

Using the guys bathroom I occasionally yell in and ask 'Does anyone mind if I pee here?' if there is a ridiculous queue for the ladies. Nobody has ever said yes. Nobody has ever batted an eye.

In college at about 6.15 am the ladies was unlocked, and the mens still shut (they're supposed to open at 7) and some poor eejit was pacing around outside the door. I just got tired looking at him so walked him into the womens. Shocking plot twist - nobody cared!!!!!

Nobody where I live is unwelcome or unsafe when they need to pee, and it doesn't really matter all that much if the stick figure on the door has a skirt or trousers on.

I've got bigger things to worry about, like where the hell is the soap in this place?

I realize this is an old thread, however, the topic has come up in the news, etc. Even though I CD to varying degrees (yesterday I was full CD), I believe that if a man has boy parts (as I have and like them) then he goes to the men's room, if the transgender has girl parts then they can go to the girls bathroom. If she has girl parts and is a CD, she goes to the girls bathroom. After all, if your junk is displayed going to the bathroom it should match everyone else's junk.

If all restrooms were unisex there wouldn't be a problem.

50 years ago when I was drag racing I went to Canada several times. They were very accomodating and would pay us in US money when we won. We would wait in the lounge for them to dig out American dollars. The first time there I was trying to figure out which of the two restrooms was the mens as they weren't marked. I saw a guy come of one so I went in that one. There were urinals and sinks on the left and toilets with no doors straight ahead which was common at race tracks. While I was using the urinal someone came in and sat on one of the toilets. Then a female voice spoke to me. I looked over at her then asked if I was in the wrong room and immediately realized that was a stupid question since I was standing at a urinal. She replied they were all the same as as she seemed to open her legs just a bit wider. I found many places were unisex except the ones that had a lot of Americans.

I think that is a good rule of thumb.

I just don't like the smell of a female bathroom

Well I guess I wont be making any friend after writing this. If a Male is dressed and is passing and has to use the bathroom I feel he/she or what ever had better use the Ladies room. if he walked in the men's room he might never walk out. My husband who is almost 24/7 dressed and very passing and i use the ladies room together all the time. Private stalls and doors. He even gets compliments of his outfit and hair. More than i do. Ok

That's gotta hurt …….

@ dan: Have you every seen anyone looking like a woman in the men's room? What would you do if such a person appeared while you were at the urinal? On the other hand women seeing a crossdresser or not very convincing transgender are going to feel uncomfortable.

I'm seven years full time crossdresser (not TG) and pass well enough; In San Francisco I always go to the women's room, go into the stall, close the door and sit down; no one peeking in the narrow slit of the door edge is going to see anything, A transwoman with a beard wearing men's clothing better not go to the women's room even without surgery.

Being a man , I use the ‘ men’s room ' exclusively . No problems .
