Public Restrooms

[Caleb]

So I'm going to be sporting my binder and cornrows with a hat at the beach next week. Can I use the men's bathrooms? Anyone ever done it?

[Shang]

I've never done it, but I can't pass in the least so I haven't tried.

I suppose it depends on how well you pass.

[Charles321]

AS long as you pass then you should be fine. Even if your just passing a little, it's fine. You just go in, do what you need to, then get out. No one will even notice. when I was at the beach, my mom even told me to go in the mens to get my bro cause I look like a guy and she is against me being trans.

[Caleb]

Alright good! Well as long as I'm feeling confident in myself I'll go in a men's stall and do my thing.

[madzam]

Of course you CAN do it. It's just whether or not you are confident enough to

[Caleb]

Haha true. Well I'm thinking I will do it! 

[elvistears]

Just do it! I've been using them exclusively since the beginning of the year and it's been a bit of an anticlimax if anything.  No one even bats an eye, it's just about walking in like you already belong there.

[Caleb]

Good advice. And glad to know you've been there and done that!

[kyril]

Yep, it's easy, nobody cares. I've been doing it for 3 months now.

[elvistears]

I think, judging by yr avatar, that you'd look a lot more out of place in the ladies room!  And pls post pics of yr cornrows, awesome.

[Caleb]

Haha... I'm not sure how the cornrows will look. But it's the best solution I can find to not having a "guy" haircut yet. I'm more of the "pretty boy" type haha so I guess we'll see how it looks. I'm taking plenty of hats in case it's awful!

[James-Alen]

yeah, I've done it many times ^.^ a lot of the time, also, if you aren't completely confident in whether or not you're passing, people in a restroom are afraid to confront you about it. Not to mention, the level of social interaction in there is pretty low to begin with lol. Go for it, I think it will go just fine.

[Caleb]

Haha alright thanks. I didn't figure there would be a whole lot of talking. Most guys just want to go in there, do their business and get back to whatever it is they were doing.

[Carson]

I've been going in the mens for over a year and before I even was passing 100% it's not a big deal at all.

[Caleb]

Good! I want be using a pack and pee or anything like that. So I should be perfectly fine going to a stall. I would be a bit nervous if I were actually trying the stand up with a pack n' pee.

[James42]

Before you use a men's restroom with a stp, practice! I use the men's room all the time, it just feels so much more natural, even though I was kinda nervous at first, no one really gives anyone a second thought in there unless you make it obvious that you're nervous or something.

[Arch]

If the stalls don't have doors, will that mess with you?

Even so, you might have more of a problem if you use the women's. That is, the women there might have a problem...

[Caleb]

If the bathroom doesn't have a door how would I use the restroom? Haha you're making me nervous now.

[tekla]

Because of sex and drugs a huge number of public mens restrooms (and even womens rooms in a lot of clubs) have no doors anymore.

And pay attention, for a number of reasons bathrooms are the one place that don't have cameras in them.  Out of sight, out of mind.

[Arch]

If the bathroom doesn't have a door how would I use the restroom? Haha you're making me nervous now.

What Tekla says. It sucks, but there it is.

The first time I went to a CMG bonfire at the beach, I drove to the location ahead of time and checked out the restroom situation. I figured that if the stalls had doors, I was good to go. If they didn't, I would have to leave early if I felt the urge to pee.

There are lots of stall-less bathrooms around. I see them mostly at beaches, parks, and bars. But I'm sure those aren't the only places...
