Do you cheat when its convenient

[Kate]

Interesting! I never realized it was a common thing to sit *before* having SRS.

I always stand. Much faster and cleaner. I guess I never really thought of urinating as a potential expression of gender. That *other* function for it makes me uncomfortable, but otherwise... I dunno, it's just a body part. While I have male genitals, I'll stand. After SRS, I'll sit.

Though NOW I'm going to be thinking about it evertime I use the bathroom, lol...

If you begin RLE and use the women's bathroom, you'd better sit before SRS.

Kate.... Listen to the different noise between standing up & sitting down.

You may pass really well, but never stand and pee in the ladies rest room, its a dead give away.

Plus, your toes are pointing the wrong way...

Addendum: Wearing the StephieGaff pretty much 24/7 has made standing to pee much harder -- another disincentive to doing it whilst I still have 'directional control'.

[Kimberly]

Meh. I sit for all but the most drastic reasons. Simple reason really... Habit. Specifically I don't want to be in some cold induced haze and try stupidly to stand to urinate post-op..

^*shrug* Besides, I am pretty much to the point that when the water is frozen around here that I'd rather haul water for the toilet than go outside and pee behind a tree.

^*shrug* If it gets it out of your system and you're happy with the situation then close enough

[Julie_in_MT]

Hi!!

I wait until a stall is open and if the toilet is disgusting I squat and hover just above the seat and do my business. Yes, it takes some leg strength to accomplish it but I'd rather do that then stand.

...and good habits start early, right?

Kate :
interesting, It is cleaner and easier for me to sit.
All:
also i find fascinating the concept of "cheating" 2 me is just peeing
... that conceptualization always disapeared when confronted with basic body functions, I used to read the trans books and magazines and wanted to be a good girl and this people sure knew more than i did blah blah  one day i had to go really bad because i had been holding it too long so I parked the car by the side of the road and unzipped my pants and peshed them down pulled my part out and started to pee then I remembered that real girls sit  so i squickly sit  and pricked my behind  and testicle with a sharp twig with small thorns in , I jumped  my bladder released as i was saving my self from the perils of mother nature the spray hit the gound behind me because of the tuck but the getting up instinctively to avoid the thorn released my organ like a sling shot well my pants with the zipper on the side were soiled as well as my shoe and all i could think was how ungracefully and unlady like i behaved, As i drove back i realized that my problem was not my birth gender assignment but my brain cells reality assingment, I was crazy, well that did it, I have seen women pee an all kinds of terrain and situations, so I stopped listening to Transeexuals how to go potty and listen to my girlfriends. Now that might be an incentive for some to leave stealth mode

Oddly enough I have not stood for this function for 2 years previous to HRT!!!

Posted on: September 13, 2006, 11:35:54 PMI have heard of that being possible but (not surprisingly) I have never seen it... but then again who likes to have an audience anyways??

Or... do you mean "hovering:?

Even GGs stand up sometimes if its really filthy!

Posted on: September 13, 2006, 11:37:59 PMWhen I started (2 years pre-HRT) I figured that I would develop the same habits as a GG would naturally have... If they can't stand up to do it, then why would *I*? In fact, if I don't HAVE to touch the thing at all, I won't!

This question may have been addressed already and this only applies to pre-ops, do you cheat when its convenient? I am talking about in the bathroom. I have made a conscious decision to develop feminine characteristics including how I use the bathroom. A GG has no choice. However , not living fulltime and using a male restroom can be somewhat revolting, I have also been told that woman's restrooms can be just as filthy if not worse than the men's room.

So do you cheat and use that disgusting appendage between your legs or not?

[ssindysmith]

Agreed if I don't have to touch that nasty thing I avoid it.

I've been doing it since girl scouts! Of course, I turned out to be an FTM, so...

Man, do I envy genetic guys. They can just pee wherever they want--no wiping, no fuss, just zip and go! I seriously need surgery money.

[Melissa]

I wouldn't say "anywhere".  Imagine diving down the street seeing guys just pissing everywhere, or walking through the grocery store as some guy pisses on the vegetables or riding up to your room at a nice 4-star hotel as some guy pisses in the elevator.  Most of them have the decency to go in a toilet.

I will verify that GG's do indeed stand up (sort of) if the conditions are really repulsive.  It's a kind of a grab on the tp dispenser, squat and hover technique that I call the  Jedi escape from the gross bathroom trick.  And that's my two cents!

[ssindysmith]

I have considered once I go full time after my physical castration, a uretha reroute, I understand its quite a common procedure with minimul complication, that would seal the deal if you will.

[Luc]

hey in some european countries guys do pee all over the place. First thing I saw when I walked out of the train station in Rome was a guy marking his territory on the train station wall.

I can't stand up unless I'm using my stp packer. But I'm getting better at that. Anyway, guys can sit down, right?

Rafe

[Hazumu]

Guys can and do sit down from time to time.  A friend from days past would make it a habit at home -- that way he never had to remember to put the seat back down (his wife was ecstatic!)

But in the public john at work it gets noticed that a guy always seems to opt for the stall -- does he have constant loose bowels?  Or is it something else?...  It's funny -- nobody talks in the men's room, and if possible an empty urinal is left between current users, but there's an expectation that you'll belly-up to the consoles with everybody else unless doing number two.

My Car broke down during the week and I had to go pee behind a hedge.

I sure missed being a guy then... I cut my Butt on a spikey thorn bush....

Ouch, Buffy!

Ya need to look before ya squat 

My spouse sometimes has trouble with her bladder so we keep an empty 3lb coffee can in the car with a roll of TP.  She uses that just outside the car door on the right, passenger side, with the door open, so the car blocks most of the view and I stand between her and as much of the rest of the viewing angle I can.  She hold onto the seat and the door's armrest and does her business with almost no one being the wiser.  Where I park also makes a difference, of course.

Me?  As I already said, I sit almost always but sometimes I stand to keep my cover from being blown.  More and more, though , I care less and less about what the others in my workplace think so I've been standing less and less.  I don't hate my equipment as much as some do so I don't feel horrible when I stand and use it, just ambivalent.

We should all be able to pee in peace, though, no matter what.
