Do you pee standing up?

[Jean24]

I sit when not out in public. It has nothing to do with being perceived as a "shy guy" either because I honestly prefer sitting down. I've done it for years because it feels normal and to avoid cleaning up in case I miss hahaha. The reason that I don't sit in public is that I'm not confident in the cleanliness of men's restrooms. Lots of men do pee standing up in the stalls and it's pretty common to see pee on the seats.

Yeah my area of Jacksonville the thugs would take this opportunity to make you into a r.i.p. life time special.
Oh wait this has actually happened locally to 2 trans woman in the past that did not pass well

I wouldn't advocate not using clean facilities as it improves your immune system! hahaha
There is truth to what you're saying but I'm not about to start not cleaning the loo before using it to build my immune system.
Without getting into a whole public health debate there is a reason for handwashing and not sitting in other peoples' urine.
It's kind of like spitting (horrible disgusting habit IMO), people used to do it and well, TB isn't the same problem it used to be, not to mention lots of other things.
Sorry, I don't want to make a huge thing of this but I thought the germaphobes needed another voice

Yeah, no, that's not what I meant. I meant not to go crazy about it. As in, if it makes you super dysphoric or something, and just because there was pee on the seat you still stand to pee, well, that's a problem. Because since pee is sterile, once you wipe it, it's as if it was never there.

Basically, you shouldn't fear germs more than necessary. As in, don't use the bathroom's doorknob with your hands, and wash your hands when it's appropriate (meals, toilet, etc.), but don't avoid things just because you imagine the bacteria on it. You just have to be reasonable about it.

Don't wanna be annoying, but if there isn't too much, just wiping it with toilet paper should be fine. Just saying this as a fellow person who hates to pee standing. Remember, pee may be disgusting, but it's totally sterile, so remove it and it's gone and forgotten.

[Nicolette]

I could pull that off no problem, without even feeling like less of a woman!

Well, more woman you! I couldn't do that unless I was post-op and to make a point. I worked in Italy in a factory for a year where standing to pee was mandatory. The toilets were holes in the ground. It didn't make the women dysphoric, for some reason.

Medically speaking, when you have a penis you void your bladder better by standing up.  The long urethra that goes with a penis ,versus the rather short straight urethra a vagina has, just voids more effectively standing up.  Try peeing sitting down and then stand up and see if you can get a little more out, usually I can.

This is what a doctor told me when I was having some bladder troubles
But I had always found standing just too uncomfortable t_t

[Elsa]

Not unless absolutely I have to.

But now, with the level of shrinkage downstairs it's difficult to pee straight even if I wanted to.
Although I always had issues with peeing standing up.

[janellebell]

Only when necessary but I prefer sitting down now.

I've also found in public restrooms its a must and you should also try to pretend you're wiping something, as most genetic girls do do that.
I've been clocked a few times for that, well just looked at strangely. Then I remembered that "Oh that's right" I'm "supposed" to be wipping the inside of my imaginary equipment hehe

Its a bad male habit I must break

[A]

Wait, what, you don't wipe? Oo So you just raise your bottom back and have pee in your underwear? I know pee is sterile, but isn't that, like, gross?

This is funny, one of the biggest things I have noticed since transition is that I spend a lot more on toilet paper and of course makeup and various other sundries

[jainie marlena]

I sit. I haven't stood in years. 

[lorena]

I sit down, every time I can....regarding standing ...it just does not feel natural...I do it only when there is no other option (like in public bathrooms....sorry but they are nasty). At home I sit down.

[Teela Renee]

Nope, going pee is like a few blissful seconds of getting to be lazy throughout the day and sit.

I'd love to see a Thug in my neck of the woods mess with one of our brothers or sisters,  I dont get called the Flip side devil for no reason. You wanna start start ->-bleeped-<- in my neck of the woods you usually got my duel .45 Beretta's, with grip mounted laser sight, stacked with hollow points pointed in your direction.

[Andrea77]

I have gotten used to sitting ... I prefer sitting.

[PrincessDayna]

Its 50/50 at home. All depends if im half awake or not, or how often my spiro is making me pee. Lol.

In public, i avoid restrooms atm. Just think they are dirty. Ill hold it.

If awake and concious at home, i sit. If half awake or the middle of he night, i stand but its awkward. Works bathrooms are all unisex as its home healthcare. I stand there, due to clients using the bathroom sitting or peeing on seats. It doesnt feel any less awkward though.

[Joanna Dark]

lately I have realy been viewing myself as a woman, I mean i act like a woman (though I always have), but now people treat me like one, hit on me like one, and I have to use the woman's room (sometimes there's pee on the seat, eww), and so I sit to pee 100 percent of the time. Even in the woods I squat. I was sleeping with my BF the other night and we were at his friends' house in the guest room and I had a bottle, and apparently I squat to pee when drunk as well. He said he woke up and saw me sqauatting and peeing and he thought I got it all over the floor but it was only in the bottle. Then I got back into bed apparently all drunk and cuddled up to him even though it was really hot and started cuddling and playfully slapped him when he said it was too hot lol

[Karla]

The only time i've peed standing up since coming out to myself in March of this year, is when I'm with my son, who is 10 and I have not come out to him yet.  Usually this happens when we're on a road trip and standing by the side of the car. 

In public restrooms, standing slightly, hovering over the seat, knees together but backwards, like a tiger   Seat down, of course.

Eeeew i can't believe i just shared these sordid details

[V M]

I pee while dancing naked and playing a violin on rooftops 

[JeanShaw]

I'm always siting down just feel more comfortable doing it
