It's already never been an issue. Nobody is doing dick checks.
It's different than a high school student everybody knows is a man deciding they wanna shower with girls. You know like if you're a dude until junior year people will notice the change
Originally posted by SurturI generally appear male socially, but if I dress femme then I just dress so femme that nobody would tell the difference. I don't think my emotions would be bothered either way, I tend to go to places where even if I went into the men's dressed femme, people wouldn't be bothered. I'd feel uncomfortable, but that's just because I'm generally self-conscious about standing out in any place or scenario
As a transgender person would your emotions be impacted if you had to use the men's room?
Originally posted by StringerWhy? Weren't there disabled toilets they could use or something? In the UK we have unisex disabled / baby changing toilets pretty much everywhere and people use them all the time even if they don't have an explicit reason to
No no no no. I felt for transgender people here in North Carolina that worked state jobs and had to go home to use the bathroom because otherwise would of been fired. That made me sick

you represent the other portion of "non issue" trans. you really don't have to worry about said attacks

point is imagine having to commute back home from work to take a shit. just gonna gloss over how f*cked up that is? kinda glib, dont you think?
Originally posted by Bashar TegIdk, I partially agree, but it's all perspective. I still have a ****-off Adam's apple, and also live somewhere where it's less likely to be attacked in general, and frequent locales where I know it's mostly chill.

I agree that's it's complex, though.

wait... did they at least have the choice to use the assigned restroom or were they just banned from both restrooms?
Originally posted by Bashar TegI don't understand why they have to do that. Are they banned from both bathrooms? Hard to assess the situation when I have no idea what the circumstances are.

i should have said "...for now". if you choose to transition, you will most certainly be in those crosshairs.

If your born a man, you have to use the men’s room and ect. If you’re a state employee and don’t follow the rules here in the south you’re fired
