Do you pee standing up?

[Allyda]

For disgusting bathrooms, I place paper towels around the toilet seat after wiping it off with 90% rubbing alcohol I keep in my purse. I always sit to pee, what I have in my nether regions would make a mess of me otherwise. Oh I've tried to stand a few times when I was younger in emergency situations as I've said earlier a few times out in the woods, but it just doesn't work that well for me. It's hard to empty your bladder while stretching and/or pulling things, lol. Women sit, I'm a woman so I sit.

What do you have there that makes it messier than others?

Our little sister Allyda is Intersex which might make peeing standing up awkward, bless her sweet heart, it will soon be fixed!

I don't have the hope of getting mine fixed soon.

Thanks Auntie Shan. Yes, yes it does. If I stood up I'd get extremely wet with urine, lol! Been there, done that once and it was a catastrophe. Yup, this December. What a wonderfully happy Merry Christmas this one will be. The best of my entire life. I apologize but it's hard for me to contain my excitement sometimes.

@Mac1: I'm so so sorry to hear about your hardship. I sincerely wish there was something I can do other than offer my support and best hopes. If you ever need to talk feel free to pm me.

The past few months of hrt have resulted in a lot of shrinkage. Trying to pee while standing now is hard, can't really get a good grip on it and it'll get on me. Much easier to sit. I can't remember the last time that I stood.

What does it matter?     You realize this helps perpetuate the stereotypes of transgender people.

Not sure what you mean by this. Which stereotypes?

It would helpful if you would be more specific and clarify what you mean rather than just throw out a blanket comment like that, because all it does is create a "wtf??" response from the members here.

Odd... 15 months and I have zero shrinkage, but that's the fact I've built so much sexual frustration that I can get an erection nearly anytime. I had a bit of pain one, but I pump once a week to get the full stretch of skin instead of 80% power boners.


But being back to peeing, things have taken a different turn for me: I am in an office building with multiple stalls, and I can hear the noise of other women. Despiite sitting, I noticed that the main difference between me and them was the noise level. They tend to hit the water, yet I seem to be doing it more diagonally, hitting the toilets wall. I'm thinking about changing the sitting position a bit to replicate the noise.

Not too sure if you have foreskin or not, but pinching it (yes you'll get pee on your hands) will make it sound a lot more like a woman's flow.
You also might be "swinging" when peeing, pushing back will fix that

No matter what you do you will not exactly duplicate the the sound of the pee between the labia.

Angle back and you'll definitely make more noise.  And I've done the exact same thing...don't want to be outed by being too quiet.

What are you even talking about?  We as transwomen eventually make a decision to stop peeing standing up.  It's fact.  So, I have no idea what stereotype you're talking about.

Unless you're replying to some specific judgmental statement, I'm just not seeing it. This thread seems to be depicting just how different people are, regardless of their gender expression.

[FrancisAnn]

Never really, my bathroom seat is always down. It seems strange to even think about doing anything else to pee.

Personally I'm not a fan of the extra noise and if anyone comments on how quite I am. I would reply about the wonders of sound depression that toilet paper provides.

I have no preference to standing or sitting. I like what is most convenient for the time at use.

lol its definitely not a fact. its kind of funny you just proved in my mind that the stereotype, which I previously believed did not exist, does in fact exist. by you saying "every trans women stop peeing standing up", you are demonstrating the stereotype. I am a trans women and I pee standing up like 1/3 of the time and I am not bothered by doing it most of the time.

[V M]

Some folks pee standing others prefer to sit, no big deal as long as no-one is peeing on anyone else's shoes and such

Having an opinion is fine as long as no-one is taking an argumentative tone within the discussion

This, is my biggest hangup for peeing in public at the moment.  I usually will sit and wait until everyone else leaves, or flushing is going on so that no one will notice the sound is different...  It's ridiculous.  No one is listening but me.  But it's super dysphoric for me to do it while people can hear.  Can't wait for SRS. 

As for standing - I will do it at home, usually when I am in a hurry.  It used to make me feel bad/guilty when I did, but once I actually started presenting as female publicly, I clung to little things like this less.  It's there - I hate it, I want it gone, but why not use it to save me time while it's here?  At least that's how I justify it in my brain.
