I love good propaganda.  And this is very good propaganda.

Very interesting and thought provoking.  However, if I may offer a slightly serious point here, why do we as transfolk go to the toilet anyway?  I live as a woman and thus pee and poo as a woman. Likewise a FtoM ..  Just what is going through the minds of anyone that kicks up the dust when this question rears up?  Playing upon a fear that ones female child might be molested in the little girls room by a transwoman beggars belief likewise boys with transmen. We go to the loo to do something that is of some urgency and the sooner the delicate activists realise this the better for us all.

End of rant  :)

I can think of other places to hang out, that's for sure - like a bar.  Or a beach, ski slope, backstage - all of which have more people interested in having sex than in a bathroom.  Really, if they want sex in a bathroom, do you really want them?  Icck.

Let's think about it for a moment,  a bathroom/WC/Toilet, a place for doing what is rather necessary for most peeps, although females tend to congregate when at a bar/pub/restaurant/stadia etc for gosssip and make-up adjustment purposes but that is another matter.  Is this a condusive environment for the most intimate of acts? For me, the lingering smells of farts, piss and poo in the closets would put me off not least the risk of frequent comings ( sorry  :embarrassed:) and goings of people seeking to do what is necessary etc..

If someone invited me to go to the bathroom for a  'quickie', I would immediately seek the nearest exit from the venue, from him and the relationship. Not that I might be so lucky to be invited in the first instance... :)

I'd kind of think of it as a badge of honor that no one every asked you to have sex in a bathroom.  If only my life had been so kind.

I would decline the award of that badge of honour  :-\

Well just in case you would change your mind, I'm here to tell you that the hotel room would have been a better option.  At least it had a minibar.

That may tweak my interest, the door would also have a lock from the important inside  ;)
