Restroom choice for transgender people

Quote: DRich

I am not familiar with complete gender reassignment but doubt that it is even possible. I would assume that you would have to modify all of the sex chromosomes in the body. I will have to read up on that to see if it is possible or has ever been attempted.

Gender != sex.
Race != ethnicity

Really? Last summer I went into a casino
restroom and a young guy was at a urinal
with his cargo shorts around his ankles.
He had no underwear on and his rosy white
ass was totally out for view. When he was
done he turned around and gave us all
a look at his hanging 9" before he pulled
up his pants. Imagine that in a shared restroom.

I was in about the middle of a row of urinals and a fella next to me looks left, right, and says "I haven't seen this many dicks hanging out since I was at the police station" ; )

I was joking regarding a conservative wanting to check out my junk.

Honestly just prefer privacy overall but its not mandatory with number 1

Some of the craziest conversations in my life have taken place at the urinal. Of course sometimes the drunk next to me is only speaking in tongues I can't comprehend.

I was in a large casino restroom and there was some event that must of ended, and whole lot of young guys lined up. It was pretty quiet for all the people there then there was a loud fart from one of the stalls. One of the guys at the urinal yelled, "I heard that." and for some reason it just struck everyone as funny and the whole place erupted in laughter.

Sexuality is borked in this country. Can't even breastfeed without someone losing their s#$%. Just the other day I went into the bathroom even though it was blocked for cleaning. The cleaner lady about s#$% and gave me serious attitude. All I did was change my boots for sneaks.

I know it's the athlete in me, but I just don't care. After a few thousand communal showers, all of it becomes silly. When I gotta go, the people who surround me are the least of my worries. As long as no one is grabbing at it for a closer look, there's not a person on the planet who's going to make me uncomfortable.

I prefer a stall, not crazy about some conservative next to me at a urinal checking my junk

But a Lib checking it out is OK? I've
used restrooms all my life and could
care less what the guy next to me is
doing. You should really delve into
where your sexual hangups come
from.

A question, now that you got me thinking. And pardon the ignorance...

Transgender, I assume, speaks only to what the person feels. Sexual preference, cosmetic surgery, all that stuff is a separate thing (correct?). So you could be born a man, still have man parts, still dress like a man, yet feel like a woman. That is transgender (correct?)

If this is so, how bad is it to use the lav you've used your whole life? I mean, on a scale of spa to dentist, how uncomfortable is it?

I would feel awkward using the ladies' room, but I'd say >99% of that awkwardness is A) not wanting to get yelled at, and B) not wanting to make someone else feel awkward. If I had the permission to use the ladies' room at a Sabres game and all the ladies were cool with it, I'd be in there in a heartbeat without a shred of discomfort even if it was packed to the brim with the fairer sex.

It was interesting to read that some nudist resorts provide separate restrooms, some don't. Whatever you want to make of that.

The thing on breastfeeding is that there are some things you just do not do in mixed company. If I have to adjust my manliness I don't just whip it out and do so. I go to the men's room and straighten things out, wash my hands, and return to where I was. Same with breastfeeding. If it is time the lady should politely excuse herself, take care of the feeding, and return.

My biggest issue in the whole thing is people who think it is the women's problem that they do not want a man in the ladies room. (and the person is a man no matter how he says he "identifies.") It is not on the man who wants to use the wrong restroom. Lets face it, this is an issue about men using the ladies room and not the other way around.

This does bring up two other thoughts. One is why does so much of the transsexual population seem to be men trying to be women and not more balance? Chastity Bono notwithstanding, it just seems to balance this way.

Third, admittedly IMHO, even after the operation the guy is not a woman. If he stops taking his hormones he will return to manly features. He has no female internal parts. Instead of surgery, shouldn't he be spending more time in therapy and if it is hormonal get something to balance him to being comfortable as a male? Just my thought.

Check my earlier post
It was a joke.
I was making fun of conservatives so interested in equipment so they can determine if a person is allowed to do their business
Don't take everything so seriously

I could care less who is in a public restroom with me, male, female, transgender, martian, it makes no difference to me as long as I can do my business
