    Even though I rationally understand it, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it. Let someone shit in peace. If I’m in the men’s room and someone comes in there that looks like a woman dressed as a man, I couldn’t care less.

    In fact, if someone came into the men’s room and looked like Marylin Monroe in the famous white dress, I couldn’t care less.

    Piss, shit, whatever.

    Just don’t talk to me. I’m not in there to make friends.

      Imagine going to the bathroom, just to take a shit! How fucking weird, right? (/s)

      …seriously, I wonder what these people imagine we’re doing in the bathroom. Or hell, what are they doing in the bathroom that warrant such worries?

        They like to bring up the “a man could wear a dress and go into the women’s room and rape a little girl” canard. To which I reply, “they’d probably get away with that more easily if they wore a janitor’s uniform. We really should ban janitors from bathrooms.”

        They don’t care for that suggestion.

          I may be pulling something out of my ass but I honestly can’t be bothered to check. But, wasn’t this something that was said about lesbian women too? That they shouldn’t be allowed in women’s bathroom because they would pry on other women and so on?

            Not only was that a thing, a lot of the transphobic violence in bathrooms winds up hitting cis lesbians

            At this point, maybe people should just start shitting on the floor if someone tries to challenge them.

                Of course not, but just try doing it in an Aeropostale.

                …not that I’d know anything about that.

                  Yo that is way too specific of a clothing store that isn’t really relevant anymore

          So the only thing stopping them from doing that now is the dress detecting force field around the bathroom?

        Taking your penis off and rubbing it on the toilet paper, obviously

      There’s three acceptable forms of communication in the restroom: functional (eg after you), quick compliments on outfit/makeup (some dislike it but it grew on me), and the far too drunk lady who speaks the wisdom she cannot possess
