Question:
For pre-op and non-op girls, do you ever pee standing up?
Option 1: Eww! No! I'm a girl. Girls sit down.
Option 2: Only when I really need to.
Option 3: Sure, all the time. As long as I'm stuck with this thing, I might as well use it.
Option 4: I'm not pre-op/non-op but I want to see the results
For pre-op and non-op girls, do you ever pee standing up?
When dressed as a lady & out, whether wearing pants, skirt or dress, in women's washroom cubicles, never stand up. Even in cis guy mode I prefer to sit down in a cubicle, same when I am at home.
Jamie
Only when needed. As in when at a nasty public toilet...
I usually just stand up for convenience, now if I was full time I would probably be sitting 100% of the time, unless I encountered a particularly nasty bathroom. All in all, it doesn't bother me either way, it's just that if I was using the ladies bathroom I'd feel more comfortable sitting.
No. Hell no!
I normally sit, but I've relented once. The only place to go was a dark, unlit port-a-potty at night, I was not well-versed in the hover-over-the-seat method, and I was not about to sit upon who knows what I couldn't see on the seat. I privately sacrificed my gender identity to avoid contact butt germs. The shame! :embarrassed:

Yeah pretty much I do my best to sit but sometimes I just have to cave to the convenience.
Only in horribly dirty public restrooms. And urinals are right out. Never liked them even when I wasn't visibly between sexes.
Most of the time I sit, even before transition my whole life the majority of time I sat down. However occasionally I still do, but only at home. Sometimes when I first get up in the morning I pee standing up.
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.
Like Alaina said, hell no!
No way! I'm a woman there is no way I'm going to stand up to pee! And besides its far more sanitary to sit because even if your aim is dead on it still splashes back out.

Oh hell yeah, I've always hated urinals.
Also it doesn't make you any less trans to pee standing up if that is what you prefer. Just wanted to throw that out since I get the "Am I trans enough?" vibe from this thread.
Never even as a child or young adult my birth defect doesn't permit it, I had to have a urethra reroute in my early teens because of it so sitting or hovering over the nasty ones is all I can do :-)

Exactly my thoughts. Why sit in filth if it could be avoided? Sure, I always sit down when I can and it's clean. But some public bathrooms..... eh. And urinals are probably one the most disgusting inventions known to mankind.
.
Since I went full time 2 years and 6 months ago, i sit.. I am a lady.. and ladies sit.
I had to get use to it at first, but now its second nature to sit
I always sit and if i run into a dirty restroom, which happens a lot since im still part time, ill just hold it until i can get home or to a cleaner bathroom.
Standing up unless I'm also pooping :3
Convenient, fast, efficient. Unless i used a female restroom (haven't dared yet) I'll be standing.
My mtf Sister friends told me if I am presenting female "you go to the women's washroom," when I am dressed female I only go to the the ladies washroom. Sitting only.
Jamie
Every once in a while by accident late in the night i mess up and try standing. Gosh I miss being able to write my name with it haha
usually only when wearing skirts or dresses, but have been known to sit while wearing cute girly shorts...it just feels as natural as standing so why not? ;)
The first option. Can you pee standing up with a vagina, with no STP? Nope. Every other (natal) female out there goes sitting down, as do I 100% of the time. That, and so I don't have to see that little bugger of depression when I go. Heck, for awhile, I used to wipe after I went too, regardless of bodily function, so I would have the mental reassurance that my area down there was right. Sigh, I can't wait until this question isn't an option one day. :(
Urinals are gross, too, I've hated those my whole life, ick. I went in one like once in my life, 9 years ago, or I would have missed the school bus to go back home that day. I felt so wrong doing it, too, it was like, "Errr, I know I have to go but, eww, this is wrong, think about something else. Get this done as soon as possible."
Edited for clarity, to add the word natal. Thanks for a good point below me, Jennifer!
Yes I do and I don't believe it makes me any less of a woman! I don't always, I mean I sit in women's public restrooms that have stalls and at home when I feel like it, but if it is a single person public restroom with a door or a port a pottie I stand. Also when I'm at work, it sucks taking off and putting back on all that police gear just to pee! Sometimes I have to respond to a call midstream, so its just easier to zip up and go! Other wise I'd have to pull my pants up, tuck in my shirt, buckle my belt, put on my duty belt, then place and snap on my six belt keepers! :police: Peoples lives could be at stake here while I'm wasting time with my pants down! I also don't have bottom dyshoria so that might also be a factor.
In response to the reply above mine, I am not every other woman, I am just me and technically yes you can pee standing up with a vagina and no STP , it makes a mess though! Every other woman sits to pee is not accurate as you see from mine and others posts here, some women stand, its just the majority sit!
Never tried it,never felt the need to.
The only time I do that is when I'm in a public restroom. I've always sat to pee since I was first potty trained. Is that weird?

Really? ??? I have never done this! I have read about this activity, never understood it. I guess I really am a girl completely from the beginning ;)
I hover in bad restrooms if I am really desperate. The ONLY time I will ever stand is in the shower (don't think that really counts)
I stand to pee unless I am using a public bathroom with other women or its just too nasty to even attempt to hover over it! Its just more convenient for me. All my cisgirlfriends are jealous that I can do this!

I'm sure they are. To be able to stand and pee comes in handy.
Um, no. Well, unless I'm in a bad public restroom and can't hold it.
No, I do not pee standing up, sometimes I will hoover over a public toilet but I also avoid public restrooms whenever possible :P
I have gotten used to sitting ... I prefer sitting. The last time I stood to pee (many months ago because the restroom at work was ultra nasty) it felt so awkward.
I sit always unless its a nasty unisex bathroom or in the morning at my house. If I'm in any women's bathroom i'm sitting nasty or not.

Not entirely true. I know several natal women who can stand to pee - unaided. In fact, one stole my heart many years ago when she came and stood next to me at a urinal - she was most certainly a natal female. ;)
Sit or squat almost all the time, I have to clean my own bath room and hate dribbles all over the floor.Tp works to catch the drips when you stand up.Only time it comes in handy is out in the boat
then its an Easter egg hunt to find it.
Sit always other than public toilets, and it would have to be pretty dirty!
I always felt weird standing, especially at a urinal... (God I hate those things! I don't want to see guys doing that!)
Camping though? yea, that might be a different story, the word "convenient" doesn't even come close to not needing to squat.
Its a total mystery to others and its gonna stay that way. Waste elimination is a private matter. :-X
I'm one of the few standers. If I am in girl mode, I will sit. When I am in guy mode, I just find the nearest tree and whip it out and whiz since most of the time I am outside and or in the woods. I am contributing to my share of using water by sending it back to nature to replenish though evaporation. ;)
The first time I peed outside after srs I learnt the hard way to only pull my pants down to about around the knees, not the ankles like one usually does when sitting on a toilet.

Haha this is so true. All the reason more why I'm dress and skirt girl. Popping a squat is more difficult than the easy guy way if standing and peeing
Nope, never. I want GRS and my thought process is that I better get used to it now. I also hated being reminded of it which standing does.
Quote from: Alainaluvsu on June 05, 2013, 09:09:29 AM
No. Hell no!
That would feel awful. My father tried to teach me when I was a child, and I tried it maybe 3-4 times when he "forced" me. It made anything from a few drops sprinkling elsewhere to a big puddle next to the toilet along with completely wet pants. I never saw the point and completely refused to do it from then on.
Even when I was in the Cadets and we were out on survival, when I really really needed to go and our "wood toilet" (two big branches on trees and we did our stuff in a little hole) wasn't built yet, I just found a spot far away, lowered my pants to my knees (I think?) and crouched awkwardly. Someone sorta saw me. Excuse? Malformation. Not many questions asked. :p
Yeah, no, I never saw the point of peeing standing. It feels humiliating ("look, toilet, how do you like my thing proudly dropping its stuff into you from above?"), it's a pain and it takes a lot longer, not to mention it's really uncomfortable to wipe. And it's risky. Yeah, no, I'll never understand it.
If I ran into a very nasty public bathroom, either I held it in, either I picked the least dirty one and I cleaned the pee up with toilet paper and, in extreme cases, used the hand sanitizer in my purse to finish the job up. (Yeah, I've been carrying a sort of purse for over two years. Problem? :p) Sitting in pee is yucky, but I'm not afraid of butt germs. It's not like any amount of contact between my butt and a surface full of germs can infect me. And anyway, germs aren't scary in general. In my life I've found that when I was the least sick was when I lived with a dirty roommate and 3-4 animals, and microbes worked really hard at training my immune system on a daily basis. :p
Not to mention that most cell phones, coins, keyboards, etc. are probably more full of germs than any toilet. You know, people don't carry much germs around their butts, and pee, however yucky, is sterile.

LOLi hadn't thought of that in a long while... Before my reroute I guess I did stand to pee while camping, now it's just a physical impossibility, my pee hole is just a few cm from my anus. While camping I find wearing a skirt so all I have to do is slide my panties to my knees and squat to be the way to go.....
.
If you stand to pee and miss the big oval or spray & splatter all over the place I have coined a military term and call it "collateral damage." lol

No.
Jamiep: Even with perfect aiming, the laws of physics will make it splatter everywhere. That's just what happens when you throw a liquid into another from over a meter above.
It depends. I sit now that I am transitioning. But sometimes it is hard to pee sitting down. MAABs weren't made that way. Before transition, I would sit occasionally. When I was with my ex I sat. But basically most of my life I have stood and it didn't bother me. I think if you sat to pee your whole life that would def be a form of gender and genital dysphoria that manifested itself at an early age, fitting the narrative. (there is a lot of anti-narrative sentiment on this board and it sometimes upsets me because I kinda fit it and I can't help it). I was prob forced to stand by my mom with the threat of her withholding her love if I disobeyed. But I think standing or sitting is a preference. Quite frankly, it's hard to stand at a urinal as i am not blessed as a man. I don't think I reached Tanner V.
For those of you who refuse to stand up, what would you do in a public bathroom if you had no choice. I always hold it in to to the best of my ability, but I've encountered times when I couldn't while in public. The idea of having to sit down on some public seat is one the most disgusting thoughts I can envision. I've seen some horrific bathrooms and I can't imagine sitting down and allowing myself to be infested with those germs. I'll always avoid standing if possible, but sitting on a public toilet is really disgusting to me. Maybe I'm just an ultra germaphobe.

yes we actually sit around and discuss stuff like this. and some roadside rest area restrooms are the most disgusting you have ever seen (plus in the winter they are freezing)

I don't see what the big deal is about germs and public bathrooms. Urine is sterile. If it's on the seat, wipe and dry it with toilet paper. If there's fecal matter, go to the next stall while wondering how someone gets poop on a toilet seat.
Keyboards (http://www.geek.com/news/your-toilet-seat-is-cleaner-than-your-keyboard-549900/) and purses (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2324247/Womens-handbags-contaminated-bacteria-average-toilet.html)(and probably door handles as well) have been shown in studies to have more germs than a toilet seat; I would be more worried about people not washing their hands than the toilet seat. And besides, your immune system needs a little workout now and then to stay in shape! ;)

Exactly.
One of the things I totally love about this site and its incredible members are the diversity of topics :laugh:
When I came across this thread I didn't believe it!!!!
OMG how do you pee, and with a poll!!!!!
I reckon this should be written up and presented at a scientific meeting!!
The only equivalent I remember was a poll taken at the University I work at.
A student posted a poll about whether people covered the toilet seat with paper before sitting, whether they wiped the seat or if they just went for it.
I remember being surprised by that as well!!!
Hugs People and Thank You
Cindy
LOL... As long as no-one does a handstand to pee I'm sure they'll be okay >:-)

Hmm, I usually try to avoid the public toilet, but if I need to go, then I go and I sit on it. I find it much less disgusting than to drop liquid into liquid from a huge height and necessarily splashing elsewhere; possibly on me. Not to mention germs aren't yucky. You don't see them, smell them or anything, most of the time. And:
-Your cell phone, coins, door handle, keyboard and quite a few other items are probably much more full of germs than any toilet seat.
-Even if you joyously rubbed your butt on the most germy surface ever, it would most probably be without consequences, because contrary to your mouth, eyes and nose, the skin of your butt is hardly a doorway to infect you.
So, yeah, you're too much of a germphobe. :p

Hmm... Was it because it's humuliating for a "guy" to sit to pee, or something? No one's ever given me trouble. Also, tip: if there's people around and you're really embarrassed, just wait longer. Either they'll think you pooped as well, either no one will have been there when you arrived and when you left, so they won't know. Although doing such things has always proven unnecessary for me.

Maybe it's a New York thing, but some public bathrooms leave you no room for improvisation. It's truly horrifying the conditions that some of these bathrooms are in. Even if they are less infested than keyboards, I can't sit on something like that. Who knows what I'll contract. I'll sit at home, but otherwise I have to hold it in or just use what I have. Oh, and I always try to carry around hand sanitizer because of the germs that are spreading onto other things. You should see my family and I go out to eat. We always have a few bottles of sanitizer on the table.
Quote from: A on June 08, 2013, 09:09:20 AM

Yeah, you probably hit the nail on the head,lol.
"I don't know what I'll contract", you say. If it's pee, it's disgusting because it stinks and all, but know that pee is by far the most sterile liquid that exits your body (and maybe enters it, too). It might even be more sterile than the water you drink. So just use a big ball of toilet paper and wipe it off the seat. If it's poop or vomit, granted, it's disgusting, but surely there's at least one stall that isn't full of poop or vomit? And if not and you really can't go anywhere, combine a big ball of toilet paper with that hand sanitizer of yours.
And again, you're extremely, extremely unlikely to contract anything, ever, even if you rub your butt really well on every single public toilet you meet. I mean it.
Work on this obsession. :p Being afraid of germs makes you more sick because you private your immune system from its regular training.

I have another friend, she carries hand sanitizer and uses it ALL the time!, we were walking through the hospital once and they have dispensers about every 25 yards, she hit every fraking one of them! I don't even use hand cream like she uses this stuff.
I just use soap and water at my sink when ever the mood hits. I NEVER catch a cold or the flu.
I wash my hands before I cook or eat and after I relieve my self - thats it.

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 :)

there is such a thing as balance, one does not have to go from never touching anything anywhere and always using sanitizer to swimming in filth , the happy medium would be to find a decent ladies room and use it. many can be sat on without causing any sickness, most have no residue on them, the rest only slight dribble, and I have only very rarely once or twice run across some that were really filthy
Sorry, I'm still thinking in terms of having to use the guys bathrooms majority of the time, and yes, they are mostly nothing short of filthy where I go (Maybe I should change my hangouts? Nah!).
But yes, a health balance of not sanitising everything with alcohol and not rolling in filth, I think we can all agree on that :)
Only if I'm in the middle of nowhere and there's no toilet. Only then will I pee standing up (I hate it's an option) or like a friend of mine told me "I celebrate my trans status."

Absolutely not! Peeing while standing up has been the grossest thing to me since growing up. I 99% of the time in childhood have pee'ed sitting down, and now it is absolutely 100%.
I could never understand how men can grab their junk like that, stretch it out, urinate, shake it a little, put it back into one's pants and walk away. Sometimes even without washing their hands...
Bleh! :icon_blah:
When I was a kid my mom took me to visit one of her friends and her kids, there was a boy my age
I asked where the restroom was and then he walked in and made fun of me for sitting to pee, then he took me out around the back wall of their garage and said "This is how you do it"
He then proceeded to urinate on the wall writing "I love Male name" and then signed his name
I didn't say anything, but this kinda freaked me out
Very funny, but no. I sit, no matter what the situation is , even in my own home. If the facilities are nasty, I won't use them.
Usually sit occasionally stand... I mean why not? begin trans sucks badly, I might aswell take advantage of my mutant super powers every now and again when it's convenient. ie If I'm in a rush, or the toilet is messy.
I have been trying to go only sitting down to try and get used to it. I'll only do it standing up if I'm in an extreme time crunch.
When I am at home no very rarely but when I am out in public I usually use urinals. Just so people don't notice.
I stand. much more convenient. When in public, I still have to go to the guys, so I stand. If i were ever to use the womens, sit or squat. Can't stand because 1: people can notice feet pointing the wrong direction, and 2: for whatever reason, if you don't pay attn and aim at the side of the bowl, pee coming from that high up makes a much louder noise than when sitting. That'd give you away.
Sometimes I do. Sometimes it's just convenient. Hell, I have a privilege that most girls would kill for, why not take advantage of it. I've become comfortable enough with myself that I can enjoy the privilege. But, most of the time I sit down, only for the simplicity of it. I tuck 24/7, even when I sleep. It's easier to drop my panties and sit, than it is to try to wiggle it out or hold my panties up while I stand. I never stand in public (obviously).

Not exactly the same, but similar, our family used to go visit relatives in the mid-West every summer. My cousin lived in the sticks and had a horse pasture with an electric fence. The neighbor kid talked me into peeing on it. OMFG, I should have known better, that gets you where you live.
I have seen kids doing that in the snow, trying to write stupid things in that way...
I decided to observe myself and basically, I pee sitting down, when I am at home. When at work, I sort of dont want to sit down there... Also, if I would be suddenly caught outdoors with no other options, then I would rather stand and get things done quickly.

I really couldn't do this presenting as a man, not even going to try to walk into the room now that I have lived this many years as woman where I feel completely out of place and do something so out of character.
Especially in a city where it could get me killed!
I could pull that off no problem, without even feeling like less of a woman!
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.

Well, more woman you! :P 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.
Quote from: Sadie on June 05, 2013, 10:38:02 AMMedically 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
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.
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 :P hehe
Its a bad male habit I must break
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
I sit. I haven't stood in years. ;D
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.
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.
I have gotten used to sitting ... I prefer sitting.
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.
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
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 ;)
I pee while dancing naked and playing a violin on rooftops >:-)
I'm always siting down just feel more comfortable doing it :)
Either way is fine for me. Consider this as just not so important details
Since I've gone full time and started using public women's restrooms, I've gotten used to sitting down all the time.

I'm a woman. I haven't peed standing up for at least two and a half years. Saturday will be two years exactly since I've taken every breath as a female, but I didn't stand up for quite a while before that, saying to myself at the time my back hurt too bad to stand. The truth is that I was easing my way into womanhood, lol! It's weird how as much as I love to see a man's circumsized penis, I've hated mine for my entire life, and now I rarely look at it unless I absolutely have to. Going potty sitting down not only makes it easier not to have to look at it, I can ignore this 'thing' between my legs almost entirely. Hugs, Mira
I actually have a very hard time peeing standing up. I can only do it if I have to pee really bad. I don't know why, it's just easier to relax those muscles when I'm sitting down. Been this way all my life.
I much prefer to sit - it "feels right" on the same level that so many other female-centric things do...BUT...

^this^ is a relevant thing to me.
so ...
1. whenever I'm in a multi-stall location, it's sitting without considering any other option
2. whenever i'm at liberty to go again as often as necessary, I sit without considering any other option
3. while on the clock at work, and in the middle of the night, i compel myself to stand so that I void completely, in order to avoid (a) getting in trouble for going too often (b) having to return to the restroom 6 times a night (which i HAVE done before!)
I don't LIKE it, but it is maddening to walk away from the bathroom and feel like you need to try again within just a few minutes.
Oh, and I never even attempt to pee outdoors (not that I'm in that position very often at all) because i'm too fat to be able to squat with any balance, and I don't consider the circumstance to be worthy of the exception I'd have to make to my preference. if for some reason I was in the woods or something for several hours, I'd HAVE to do it standing because if i squat, i fall over - and that's not very lady-like either.
Sometimes. I haven't paid attention to how often. Probably depends on which gender I am at the moment.
I've tried sitting down a few times, and it's relaxing and all, but when I stand up, it seems to be much faster. Once I start transitioning though, I probably will start sitting down. I'm also on the I-Hate-Urinals train, it's too uncomfortable for me to pee next to someone lol.
I don't pee, I tinkle.
to funny who would of thought that leaving a pee would have developed 6 pages, my prefered method is sitting but in some nasty urinal exposures or when out of doors i just squat
Due to HRT shrinkage I started having the occasional issue with clearance so I started sitting. I figured I might as well get used to it anyway.
I did like the convenience of standing, but I'm starting to like the idea of taking a moment two out of my day.
I sit almost all the time. I've shrunk to just about an inch when soft (smaller when cold!) and it's much easier than standing.
Always sit when home or anywhere else. Until my name change I'm always looking for one of these signs.

I've never seen one of those, it sure would make things easier. I've been having a lot of anxiety lately about using public bathrooms. I had a couple of incidents in the mens room where some jerks didnt take kindly to me being in there, and my confidence is like a roller coaster so using the ladies room is stressing me out.
My school has quite a few "man/woman/handicapped" single bathrooms, which are practical, and in smaller my building, strictly because there's nothing else but still, the only bathroom is unisex.
For real, there is strictly no point in gender-specific bathrooms. >.> The only thing that makes new students uneasy is that they've never seen one and they've been stupidly convinced, like the rest of the population, that there is a good reason why there are seperate bathrooms.
Anyway, uhm, for your question... don't worry about the women's bathroom. When I looked pretty androgynous, I did a few tests and noticed that I got weird looks and even "wrong bathroom, lady" (from old men; old men have a very very narrow idea of what a man can look like) in the men's room, but nothing in the women's bathroom. A little weird look once in a while at most.
If not home and I have no way of holding it I would stand public toliets are simply to disgusting to go close to. Thankfully I very rarely need to.
Does it not depend on the situation for many of us? I use public women's restrooms and sit when I do. I most often sit on the throne at home too. I am also a rural person and when this girl is doing farm chores or miles down the trail you better believe the practical solution is to water the bushes from a standing posture. Better than a bug bite on the butt?

I lived in rural Nebraska for a while (yea, I know, What WAS I thinking?). A cis female stopped by to visit my then-wife. We were chatting in the driveway when she asked if she could go to the bathroom. I said sure. She went 10 feet behind the nearest tree and dropped trou. I kinda miss those crazy country folk.
Hey Joules, "I resemble that remark." Ok, it's not my original joke but country crazy does work out here. As a long time outdoor enthusiasts we have done a lot of camping and there are a number of products developed and sold to women campers that allow them to stand and pee in the bushes without getting soaked. Posturing for style or convenience it's all water under the bridge;-)

Only when needed. As in when at a nasty public toilet...
This a million times!
I never liked standing to pee. Even as a young child I preferred sitting.
I don't over think anything that is not required to be over thunk.
The ONLY reason ladies don't pee standing is they lack the choice.
When I need to pee the ONLY thing on my mind, is emptying my bladder and making it so I DON'T need to pee.
If I am wearing as usual a shirt and nothing else, I like that I can walk into the bath room and go without a need to do anything other than stand there and pee.
In public I am just interested in peeing and leaving. And it is both easier to just use the penis I am stuck with and go the easy way and not agonize over it. Granted, if I am wearing a dress, I am likely going to use the ladies room and sit. But then again, I might also use the men's room and hike the dress up pull the thing out of panties and use the urinal. Because easy is better.
And like as has been mentioned, public toilets are not always clean enough.
And let's face it, if you are wearing a nice dress, and you can pee standing and NOT risk it being stained, then defiantly sitting might be just that, a pointless act of defiance.
Peeing sitting will not make me feel more the woman.

The ONLY reason ladies don't pee standing is they lack the choice.
Hmm, I don't mean to question the whole post, but there is another reason: it's freaking more comfortable to sit. And standing isn't exactly easy. My father tried to teach me how to pee standing up, and he never could, and gave up on it. And later, when I found myself in the woods and other tight situations, I tried. The first two times, I put some on my pants. The third, I crouched.
Dunno, to me, past the fact that the concept of standing is sort of beyond me, it's just too hard and risky. Maybe my penis-dexterity is just below average, dunno.
I would have to say that it depends on how i feel.
Only in the comfort of my own apartment. Might as well make use of it while I got it.
I pee while turning cartwheels down the middle of major downtown streets of major cities
Sorry, bad humor again
I'm terrible
*Spanks herself*
Always sit, unless I don't.
Have done it running and riding without stopping during races, not the best :-\
I will have to ban you V M later :D
I always peed sitting down in the middle of the night, even long before I considered transition, because it meant I didn't need to turn the light on or aim half-asleep. :)
I think the last time I ever did standing, was in a disgusting port-o-potty (well, unless post-op with the catheter counts - ironically, THAT meant we all had to stand, too!). I admit, though, a few times post-op I have missed it... on walks in the woods, of course, but also when I would sit to pee and have to wonder what bizarre result I was going to get this time because swelling = unpredictable spraying.
FWIW, the cis women I've spoken to have said they wished they could stand either when there's no toilet or the toilet is gross, but that they prefer to sit in ideal conditions. I haven't exactly taken a poll like this one, though.
I sit or squat depending on the venue.
i always sit , never stood.....ever . I can barely stand to touch the thing let alone hold it .
No, it seems too strange, I always sit & have for most of my life.
I pee sitting down in private, in public i look too male and fear more judgement, as it will happen.
Yes I do pee standing up........ In the shower. That's the only place I can do it anymore.
Quote from: suzifrommd on June 05, 2013, 07:48:20 AM
For pre-op and non-op girls, do you ever pee standing up?
You could have included more people in your survey by asking post op girls if they peed standing up before surgery. Before I had SRS I only sat to pee when I was using a public bathroom when I was presenting myself to the world as female. I didn't have body dysmorphia I had gender dysphoria. Now if I had been allowed to be female, if the only thing holding me back had been my genitals then that would have been the issue (having typically male genitals and peeing in typically male fashion, possibly). Since I was forced to socialize as male and since secondary sexual characteristics destroyed my ability to be perceived as female, sitting down to pee would have been to me like starving to death but worrying more about place settings than food.
There's just something ironic about seeing this thread while sitting on the toilet. ;)
I don't stand to unless I have to. Haven't since college.
I do for convenience mostly. But then there are times when I have to go but can't standing up so I have to sit.
I pee while leaping across the rooftops of high rise buildings and dressed as Cat Woman 8)
Generally not, but I whenever I go to festivals thats another matter... There are more than a few of my friends that were jealous that I could could go the perimeter fence and they had to walk 5 minutes to the portaloos in the middle of the night! (Apart from the girl that brought a she-wee with her ;D)

I agree with JeanShaw. I do exactlythe same thing. :)
Haven't been able to do it for the last 4 years, have only done so maybe 4 times when there was no other choice.
Only in the shower ;D Otherwise it's a dysphoria trigger. It's also nice to not have to clean up the dribbles.
I sit to pee when I can. Often I'm forced to stand when others are around.

And these antiques are only half my age. Yes, frightening enough! LOL
I confess to standing up, but when transitioning the first time I was a sit down girl 100% when crossing, 95% when not. Once I detransitioned I forced myself to break the habit and am now starting to realise I need to gear up (or sit down) in preparation for full transition. Problem is, at the moment the Spiro is making me pee like nothing else and it gets a bit boring having to sit for every #1! :P

Answer is that I have no problem peeing standing up. I don't seem to "drain" properly sitting down, so if I'm alone, I always stand. I only sit when I'm using a public ladies'.
However, since I started my RLE, I've had a ritual where I make contact with the toilet seat beforehand. I want to have a good idea of what life would be like without being able to stand.
I like to pee in cursive.
One of these days, if I have enough money, I'm going to tell the boss there is a message written on the wall in the restroom. Upon entering he will see "I Quit" with dripping, yellow letters.
If you can piss your height you need to go grocery shopping somewhere else.
That just seems strange, so no for me.
Only in the following conditions:
- Public restroom
- Friend's home restoom with the typical drops everywhere
- Having an urge after I just cleaned the toilet and not wanting to sit on wet ceramic.
Since I'm full time I'm trying to break the habit.
It's not easy, considering I've done it most of my life.
I wish.
...oh wait I'm on the girl's board.
I always pee sitting down.
Meh. I guess I'm not trans enough, because I have no problems standing to pee. Although if I'm using a womans restroom I will sit. But, in my own house? I dunno. I just never ever thought that the basic function of urinating is a symbol of gender identity above and beyond biology. So, when I need to pee I pee, and its faster to do it standing. That said, I'd rather not have the ability to stand and pee. But, I got it, may as well rock it while I still can.
Ha Ha, MissAdventure! Guess I never heard a woman say that before. :laugh:

This.
I used to always pee sitting down and never used a urinal in my life, but for some reason, not sure why, but the last couple of years I can pee standing up to empty the bladder better. I still don't use a urinal, though. I might have bad peeing problems if I ever did have the surgery to lose that dreaded male organ. And many times I would love to get rid of it, too. I always hated it moving around and getting stuck in uncomfortable areas of the under shorts.
Ιm pretty sure that any cis girl would pee standing up if possible...
I cant possible imagine how peeing sitting down makes me more of a female , it sounds ridiculous to me , sorry.
when I'm indoors I sit, but when I'm outside I stand...but I'm outdoors more often than not
I have always sat down to pee, standing up to pee to me is just gross.
I find this topic amusing. I generally prefer to sit, but I am not dogmatic about it. I can't even imagine sitting in a portapotty for example, I know there may come a time when I have to once I get SRS but, I will burn that bridge after a I cross it.

I have actually seen some cis women pee standing up in younger days :) I was amazed and rather impressed with their technique and ability
Only when its a public restroom or in the event I get locked outside and nature calls. Other then those two occasions..... Im a lady I always sit :laugh:
For the most part I sit at home. Standing up just does not feel right.

Exactly! No way my butt's going to touch a public toilet if it doesn't have to! Ick! I prefer to keep a safe distance.
Couldn't if I wanted to.
wow, I've always wanted to be able to say that
Never! I'm a woman therefore I sit. It helps not having to look at the disgusting thing when I go too. I prefer to sit also, and I've been this way since I was a kid. ;)
Besides, the last time I mistakenly entered a mens room wasn't very pleasant -I was nearly chased out of there! I was so embarrased I politely left the store as quickly as I could, and used the ladies room at a nearby KFC.
I am confused as to the premise of the thread. It is beginning to look as if the thread should have been titled "are you woman enough to sit?". :-\
I don't touch the seat girls. Yuck!

Well, I didn't mean it that way. I certainly don't think someone who sits is more of a woman (evidenced by the fact that even full-time, I stand whenever I get a chance).
I should clarify myself. What I meant is that with all of the responses, you'd think the thread were titled differently. It seems something like this should just be a poll, because otherwise it seems to evolve into a "I fit in" type of conversation. We're always looking for validation. :laugh:
I don't know why. I'm unsure of my gender identity, but sitting down feels right in some strange way.
I'm still trying to figure out my anatomy to try to stand up to pee. I've tried once but I ended up just squatting over the toilet so it didn't go all over the place.

I'm still waiting to get an STP sometime soon. I've seen a lot of FTMs say they aren't too happy with theirs so I kind of don't know if I should spend the money but it'd be nice to try.
Squatting over the toilet is just really dysphoric and besides I don't want to touch myself "down there" to aim.
Never, not even if its an emergency. I'll soon wet myself then stand up.
Sitting down to pee has been a natural thing to me for years. Urinals aren't my thing, but lately I have to admit standing over a toilet because lately it helps me empty the bladder. Plus public toilets don't look very nice to sit on unless I take a lot of soap and water to the seat. The toilet covers don't guarantee that they won't rip and you get it in the.....well, you know!

Poor thing... If you'd rather wet yourself than stand, it must cause you a lot of dysphoria. *huggles*
You look beautiful in your avatar, by the way.
I always sit or squat. Have not stood under any circumstances, except in the shower, for over 15 years and am actually paranoid of standing. I need to get rid of those things and get a proper reroute. :) :icon_female:
I do if I'm at home but never in public toilet
It all depends on my mood and if there's some good reading material available. :)
I don't like sit on public seats unless I put down a barrier.
Public restrooms would be the exception for me sometimes too. If they are all covered in urin or so I will stand. If it's just a little I try to clean it dry before sitting down.
When I was 8, I started wetting the bed because I get kicked out of the girl's room, made into a pervert and generally outcasted and dismissed by teachers for saying that I'm really a girl. This last until somewhere around 12-13 when I finally got medicine to take care of it ( It was some kind of nasal drip and to this day I do not know it if t was a placebo or something real.) I never read about it in depth cuz I dont know the med's name. But...back here in real time, if I'm in the woods, I'll squat. I don't pee standing up. But I'm going to have surgery so that's a limited time offer for me anyways. But, seriously, it's just too dysphoric to stand, aim, spray. I feel sick/nauseous for about 10 minutes afterwards, though it could ruin my whole day and put me in a mood. That's just me. It sucks being me.
Who wants to create the next poll, "The Other: Sit or Perch"? :laugh:

Yep, it does. I cant wait to get surgery i'm so desperate I have given up on saving for the complete surgury, im going to just save up the 5-8k and have partial depth look alike done. I dont want this nasty thing between my legs any longer then I have to. Trust me I battle every day with the idea "Drive up to the hospital. Call the ER and tell them im in my car out front bleeding out, then proceed with slicing it all off with my skinning knife.
Also thank you very much for the compliment.

Please, please don't hurt yourself, Teela. *hugs you super tight* You'll have a beautiful vagina someday soon and you'll never have to go through this torment again. But you need what's down there now to make it with. And I'm not sure you'd survive if you cut it off, even if you were right in front of the hospital. :'(

Dunno if you know most my story but before coming to terms with who I am. I tried taking my own life in 3 very violent ways. The Fact i'm still alive still blows my mind.
First time I tried to hang myself in a barn, jumped head first off the rafters. My neck didnt snap, and before I blacked out and died, the rope snapped.
Second time, I tried to ram my car from along time ago into a tree The engine quit on me just after I hit 110 mph and came to a halt just before the tree.
third time, I bought a dirty gun, put it to my head and pulled the trigger, it had a bad firing pin and didn't go off.
After that I started going to therapy and went on HRT.
It was after trying every which way in my power to "be a man", and then leaning on God and his Word that I realized there is a reason I am trans, and that there is nothing wrong with being trans. I am now at the point that if I were to not be able to go on HRT, that it would not end well.

Yeah... sometimes I feel like Job, you know? God's messing with me? My first time was the rope as well, I was 6 and my neck didn't snap. My mother found me swinging from a tree branch. The second time, I was 15. My older brother interrupted me, failed again. After that, I began numbing myself by substance abuse. That seemed to work for about 15 years. And so as not to ignore the thread's topic, no, I prefer to sit, it just works for me.
I mean I have a penis.... I've always stood to pee... I'm not going to just change because I am not on hormones lol. When I get my vagina then I'll have no choice but to sit
Only in a strict emergency... Or if the bathroom is beyond cleaning. Sorry I am a bit of a germaphobe and I have seen men pee in the heads. The ones I worked with took a great pride in their ability to entirely miss the head.
Other than that I always sit. Its the proper thing.

The women's room is not much better. If at all. Men generally will sit on the seat; lots of women hover. That means there's pee all over the seats all the time and some bitches don't clean it up. I would say 50 percent of the time I use the women's room at either Suburban and 30th Street Station in Philly, there's pee. It sucks but I found a better bathroom at Drexel that's real close to public transportation but sometimes a bitch just has to pee. I sometimes still feel a little weird using it, but at least when I do no one stares at me. If I use the men's room, everyone just stares at me with this wide "WTF" eyes...so yeah.
Oh and I always sit. I even squat in the woods. I was on a hike with my, uh, ex and he was all why don't you just stand while you still can and then I explained that if he wants to continue having a good day and me being in a fantastic mood then this is how I have to do it. It has to be otherwise i'll get all screwy and start thinking about SRS and transness and ....ugh. He understood completely. That was a first.

Me too. I stood to pee for over 50 years as it was the thing to do. However, it never excited me and I was uncomfortable standing next to another guy at the urinals. Once I decided to sit in 1997 I have not stood under any conditions; I either sit or squat depending on the circumstances (except on occasion in the shower). I now find sitting to be the normal thing to do and am actually paranoid of the thought of standing. I have sat (and not stood) in front of my wife both at home and in single user unisex facilities on occasion but have not had the opportunity to squat in front of her when outside. She is very rigid in her views as to sexuality but has not commented either positively or negatively about my sitting to pee.
I say ewwww when I stand up! Seriously though - I don't like handling the darn thing but there are some toilets that no one should be asked to sit down on.
Only in the woods! ;D At home or at other people's houses never, if sunlight shone through the window and people could see the cloud that comes up from the bowl when they stand to pee, they would be repulsed and become ardent squatters. Public facilities are always iffy.

But because of what I wear, I often stand, it's more convenient
I never sit in public restrooms unless I REALLY have to...and when I do it is on a way I don't touch anything lol It's very hard to do it!
Opening my belt, unzipping my pants and taking them down takes so much more time...and trying to sit without indeed sitting is very hard...so I usually pee standing up...

At least here on my country mens restrooms are terrible. Men usually don't flush the toilet...they pee on everywhere...and unless you are at a shopping center or at some expensive place, it's very likely that the restroom will be messy and not kept clean. Nobody wants to sit on a vase that is wet with pee and with a "surprise" resting on the bottom, right? I only feel I want to puke when I see those things there.
Tha's why I have this "mentality", because here public restrooms aren't kept clean most of the times, at least at the mens side. My mother used to say that the womens are always clean, so let's hope she was right ^^

The men's restrooms I've been in in the US are much the same. I'm not expecting the women's to be much better (and some people have told me they aren't), but I am looking forward to the day I'll be able to find out first hand.

My only actual experience in Womens' restrooms has been cleaning them, or doing odd plumbing repairs. I did both sets of restrooms to the same standard, and did not get complaints on either. Any place you go the same person or persons will be cleaning both sets of restrooms - so if one is a filthy pigsty the other will be as well.
Welcome to "public accomodations."
Erin
I think all public restrooms are pretty nasty, I clean both as well. In public, I always stand up to pee, cuz well, I think they're nasty, but won't use urinal cuz I think that's nasty too...At home or someones home I know, I always sit, but that's for diff reasons.
ps. if have grs, def gonna be carrying some sanitizing stuff or alcohol wipes to clean before I go lol
I plan to have GRS and do you know what will be my solution? The same I have today when I feel the need of "number 2" and can't avoid it: lining all the sitting place with a lot of toilet paper. That's my solution, but it requires time to set up the place...it get's quite comfy too lol
Quote from: mac1 on March 31, 2014, 03:54:58 PM

Agreed, I always sit to pee, even carry a bottle of rubbing alcohol around in my purse to clean the seat with if I have to. That or wrap the seat in paper towels if available. SRS (GRS) is my eventual goal and after as far as sitting to pee I'm already used to doing it, and, I've been using Women's bathrooms and sitting to pee even since I was a kid.
Some women's rooms though are not fit to use. :icon_blah: When I run into one of these I just move on to the next one hoping it's better. :-)

I sit to pee 99% of the time for over 30 years.
The only time i stand is when the toilet seat is in a very bad way, or the floor in front of the seat is wet and not from water. And being very small I would more likely pee in my pants. Just a bad case scenario.
I have sat or squatted to pee full-time for 17 years and never consider the possibility of standing.
Never in the house, always in the woods!
Quote from: BeingSonia on April 03, 2014, 10:10:56 PM

Still, I only rarely pee while standing. Pretty much only when I'm in a hurry. I guess I'll have to improve my time management after SRS :-) .
I always thought a urinal was the most gross thing in a men's washroom. Even as a little kid. There was no way I would ever have used one. Especially at stadiums where there is a mile long line even to the men's washroom, just using a toilet. Serving beer at those places was a disaster in later years! Just a cruel joke!
The only time I've ever tried to pee standing is in a dire emergency out in the woods, and even then I had to squat as it for some reason is easier for me to stay clean and to empty my bladder that way, while squatting rather than it is standing. And it has to be a serious emergency for me like out in the woods or something. The way what I have down there is, I'll get pee all over me if I just stood. So, I always sit to pee especially since I've been using ladies rooms most of my life.
So my vote was when I posted earlier: Eww! No! I'm a girl. Girls sit down.
Ally :icon_flower:
Sorry, but part of using the lady's room means sitting down to pee. If you want to live as a female, you have to live the part.
i only pee standing up when i dont have to go as much, in a rush or the bathrooms a dirty, which they usually are thus i avoid public bathrooms like the plague. other than that, i sit down
Haell to da yeah. Since I still use the mens room.
Lady's rooms when it's time, I'll stand only if I'm alone or if the stalls are completely walled off to each other not showing footware (and which way they are pointing ;D)
I do wonder how many pre-OP girls would squat/sit if they were on a camping trip in the woods or something. I might highly prefer sitting at home, but given the right incentives like being in a forest I could prefer standing.
Yes, standing to pee in the woods would be logical if pre-op. Of course many still would squat as a matter of principle, which is fine for the individual. The preference thing. For me, using what I still have under those circumstances would suffice.

Can't blame you for either time, because sometimes when it's late at night you are just simply looking for the simplest solution. Brain is only working enough to get you back to sleep!
No because I'm not allowed by my mom and for religion muslim men cant pee standing up lool (yes I know its stupid), I never go to a public bathroom because I don't feel comfortable in the mens and I can't go to the women's restroom bc Im still in the closet
This is a weird topic haha. I sit and I've always sat. I remember one time I was like 5 and my sister walked in on me and she was like..."why are you sitting?". I could prolly count the number of times I've stood on one hand tbh.
As for the hiking trip question..I font like the outdoors lmao. Plus I can't pee in open spaces..like I literally cannot do it.
There's only one good thing about that damned thing dangling between my legs, so I'm going to take full advantage of the one perk it presents me while I'm forced to have it. So yes, I pee standing up and don't even feel bad about it, because I don't feel that peeing defines me.
I always sit.. The other day, I feel like a lady from a different department at work followed me into the bathroom to find this out in curiousity sadly . Smh :-\
Never ever in girl mode! just my rule to myself :)

But the penis is not essential to peeing. You can pee without one. It is really only essential for sex and impregnation.
I have sat for so long that it has become a natural behavior for me and I never consider standing under any circumstances.

since I don't need sex or ever having kids, bring on the SRS!! I am all for it. Come on, lottery ticket, win!!
Quote from: Emily King on July 01, 2014, 08:38:22 AM
Sorry, but part of using the lady's room means sitting down to pee. If you want to live as a female, you have to live the part.
Sorry Emily I should have chosen better words. I always sit down to pee unless I'm out in the woods ie: dire emergency. And even then I squat to do so. I never stand and pee in the ladies room -that's gross -Ew!!
I've been full time for over 5 years now. My documents have all been changed including my driver's license. But yea, I always use the ladies room, and I always sit down to pee.

Umm... what? I don't think it's essential to either, since I've never used my penis for sex and it's extremely unlikely that I ever will since it's not my thing. I don't use it for anything but peeing.
But at the moment, the physiological realities are that I have to pee through it, so I use the only perk of having it and that peeing standing up. I also seem to have a bit of a kink in the tubing, so if I pee sitting down it seems that a lot of fluid is left in the way and one urinary track infection was enough.
nop nop nop.. after understanding my "part" causes a lot of my dysphoria as well i stopped doing it 99% of the time everytime i can i avoid standing.. unless well like others said before me. post apocalyptic looking bathrooms were its better not to touch anything at all..
Actually if you were to cut it off while still leaving the balls you could still get someone pregnant. It would just be a lot harder. I've heard of cases where the guy pulled out, exploded, and then the girl got pregnant anyway. Penetration isn't a requirement for pregnancy.
I pee standing all the time I never sit I find it more easier that way I don't have to worry about sitting on a filthy toilet seat in public I can go outside if I wanted to when I wake up in the morning I always go standing at home but not in a ladies room in port a potties I stand also
I sat down to pee at work for the first time today. I'm also wearing panties to work for the first time today. I think I'm going to stick with it. The thought if doing it standing up is actually bothering me now.

It shouldn't be obvious to anybody else at work that you only sit to pee. They don't know what you do once the stall door is closed. Also, they have no way to know that you are wearing panties unless you tell them.
Yeah I know but I had irrational fear regarding both. Its something my therapist mentioned and why she encouraged me to shave my legs. The legs will potentially be noticeable in the neighborhood so it's a little more rational, but like she said if you can't deal with something as simple as shaving your legs and bring visible in public how are you supposed to transition.
I think the term squatting should be added to the voting poll because no one "sits" in a public resting area. lol :laugh: But for me I dont mind standing in a private restroom. If I'm in a public rest area then I'm pretty sure some alarms would go off if someone saw toes pointing towards the toilet instead of away. ;)
I'm not a germophobe so I have no problem sitting as long as it looks decent. Usually if it looks bad enough I'll hold it until I can find a cleaner place to go.
For me every since I hurt my knee about 4 years ago possibly longer I don't remember anymore I have sat to pee and have not missed standing once. It actually feels strange to stand and pee anymore. If you need some advice starting think of it as a small break you get to take. Squatting doesn't sound to bad either but haven't tried it.
Lol the day i transitioned was the day i decided that peeing is done sitting down.

I thought about this, how I'd have responded if I heard this in the women's bathroom. I'm not really sure. There's this scene on Orange is the New Black where Poussey is trying to make something to stand to pee because the prison washrooms are so gross lol.
I wear panties and sit or squat too
The day that I figured out that I was transgender was the day that I started sitting down to pee. It's been almost three years now.
I do mostly do to that's how I have done it since a little tiny human, so I guess I just got used to it, and the difference of how I pee really isn't important to me as long as I can pee.
Always sat even as a little boy and man and will continue as.a lady
Always sat down and always will. I dont really know why I started doing it as a child, just seemed natural
Also saves a lot of cleaning

It has now been 16 years for me and I have not stood even once in that time. I started sitting because of occasionally getting splashes on my pants and wet spots on them from getting the last spurts after tucking that thing back in.
The biggest problen with sitting is the limited number (frequently only one) of stalls in many men's public restrooms. However, sitting has become the natural thing for me and I am actually paranoid of the thought of standing.
standing up or sitting down does not one person more trans than the other.
I've always sat for the most part, for me it was easier and living with just a mother I didn't want to make a mess.
As I got older and well going in public toilet in an all boys school you sort of have to stand. I didn't mind it and moved on, it wasn't something I hated doing and if I had a choice I wold sit.
Into my HRT and post SRS, I had to sit when out, into my HRT if I was lazy I would stand and even now I've tried learning how to stand & pee (not as easy as you would think).
Non-op. I pee sitting down at home. It is I that has to clean up after myself. When a urinal or bush present themselves, I do it standing up.
Joelene
Since I'll be having my SRS soon it's a good thing I'm used to sitting down as I've done so all my life. Somehow with me standing to pee seems wrong, and always has. The only thing that's going to be difficult after SRS are those emergencies where I have to pee in a cup in my truck. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to still do this as I lean out over the edge of my seat now to. I'll just have to lean a little more forward. Good thing this is only an emergency thing, lol!
Allie :icon_flower:
I sit to pee... like... 99% of the time. Idk, it's just more comfy and has always felt more natural to sit... seemingly more so recently. I mean, I can stand and do it I guess... if I have to use a public restroom and the only thing open is urinals, sure, or if everything is dirty... but it is never really 'comfortable' peeing like that, and not from a dysphoric stand point either.
5 plus weeks into taking estradiol valerate and micronized progesterone, I sit ALL the time at home.
I sit about 90% of the time in the men's room, and about 10% of the time I have to stand -- very unfortunate.
The nipples and areolas are already protruding rather obviously in my shirt, and look ready for a baby to nurse on them.
With more breast development, I could conceivably use the women's restroom during non-peak hours when nearly empty, I hope in not too long. I don't want to get into disputes with security guards, though.
Johanna.
No, I don't. It feels off to me.
I have to sit all the time now as after nearly 16 months on Oestrogen, I am very tiny down there and cannot really function at the mens urinals (which I hate anyway). Its much easier and cleaner to sit. As my Girlfriend & Flatmate said 30 years ago when I transitioned the first time around. You MUST sit every time. Get used to it and you will be much happier , but don't forget to wipe yourself afterwards . Just get into the habit. If my friend (whom I shared with) ever caught me trying to stand I got a serious talking to. In fact with the couple that I went onto live with for a while as an aupair - slipping back like that meant some spanking by Derek and Yvonne!
Since I made the decision to finally accept who I've known I've been since childhood, I have found that it makes me very dysphoric to stand while peeing. I just can't do it any more. It's weird to me that it bothers me, but in a way it makes me happy. I confirms my self identity and reinforce's to me that I am making the right decision by pursuing my transition.
I have not stood under any circumstances since back in 1997. I am even paranoid of the thought of standing. However, I was never comfortable standing next to another guy doing it. I do not present in female mode (but would like to be able to do so) and still only sit and do not find it to be a problem.
The biggest problem is the lack of an adequate number of stalls (frequently only one) in many men's restrooms. I wish that I was able to use the women's restroom.
NO!! No way, no how, no m'am!! Girls do not pee standing up unless it is a bizarre situation and none come to mind readily. I do not care what is down there -- that is a no. When I encounter a nasty bathroom situation, I do what all other girls do and that is hover engaging the thigh muscles. If I catch any of my girlfriends or find out they 'standing up', I will force them to go back and do it all over again the proper way --- Young Lady! If they are still in mannish mode, then understandable.

And while we are on the subject of bodily functions please remember Women don't fart. They do however shoot tiny puffs of glitter, that sound like a unicorn's laughter and smell like rainbows.
Read that on a greeting card and I agree.

Johanna.
I'm pre-everything and I've been sitting to pee for like forever.
Standing does come in handy at times though, and I do it reluctantly. But I prefer to sit as I have privacy.
There's even a funnel they sell for females to stand up and pee!
A few months ago when I came out to my wife, she was crying, I was crying, and there were all of the normal questions you'd expect. Then through the tears she asks, "is that why you always sit down to pee now?" I couldn't help but laugh. I hadn't really thought about it. But yeah...that's why.

That was not my reason when I first chose to sit instead of stand. I was tired of splashing on my trousers, getting the last spurt in my trousers, having difficulty completly emptying my bladder, and standing next to other guys with our penises out. I tried sitting and found it to be much more pleasant and relaxing.
I have become totally paranoid of the thought of standing and never consider the possibility.
I haven't stood to pee in a very long time.
If I even start to, I get dysphoric.
As far back as my memory goes, despite what my mom says, I've always peed sitting down.
No. I always sit down.
UNLESS it's absolutely impossible such as having to use a disgusting public bathroom or something where I wouldn't sit if someone paid me.
But that's rare.
I stand up... But I'll probably sit down once I start presenting as female, standing up is just easier. I do sit down when I'm trying to be quiet though lol.
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. :icon_cute:

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.

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 ;)

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. :)

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.
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.
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.

Just point it backwards a bit. The sound is close enough to what the ladies do. Obviously I've thought about this quite a bit as well...I mean no one wants to be outed by their quiet pee stream, right?
Heh, did it again. The reason this time: I was loaded. I was full dressed carrying two shoulder bags and with my back pockets filled with coins. Too much to remove in so little time.
Funniest part was doing a meticulous checkup for pee stains.

When in the women's restroom, if you don't want to be outed, you better sit. Nothing will be a quicker give away than the feet going the wrong way. Also, the sound will be noticably different.
Oh hell no, in public I am always sitting. Always.
in now is what, 17 years as living as a female, I can't say I've really noticed any other female peeing sounds while doing my business on the loo, that said I was very worried pre-op what it sounded like, post, not a care in the world
I did never like to pee standing up, since my teenage I started to pee while sitting and do it till now. The only exception is the dirty bathrooms like the public disgusting man bathrooms, in these I stand up.
Always will sit down, unless it is a public bathroom, male toilet seats I usually see are covered in pee. Yuk! If I were full-time I'm sure the ladies would be fine and I would never stand again.
So I am one of the few who sees the single one positive point of having that thing :o? I don't always stand but often. Hell xD. Many girls often wish they could pee standing up. Just as well make use of it while I still can :P.
It's so nice to see new girls reviving an old thread. Nice to meet y'all by the way. I've already posted but for the record I always sit, always have. I have to.
Ally :icon_flower:
I've made a habit of sitting down. As much as I'd like to pee standing up (as I'm sure many cis-women would as well), I feel like it's important for me to pee the proper female way. If for no other reason than to spare me the embarrassment of leaving the seat up when I'm done (which I will do if I stand up, because I'm forgetful)
Since I always use the ladies when I am out I sit down.
But at home or in safe surroundings I stand up, it's quicker, it's easier (unless I have tights on) and I might as well take advantage of the ony reason it's worth having this stupid thing between my legs!
;D
Oh yeah, if the toilets I have walked into a gross and dirty I will likely stand anyway, ladies or not!
I stood to pee until about three years ago, at that time i just to feel odd while peeing standing and ever since i have sat to pee. My used to ask about it and then i guess she got no understandable answer and stopped asking. This started about the same time as my Dysphoria. Now I only stand in nasty restrooms, even in the men's restrooms I sit.
Might have already posted in this thread, but my opinion has already changed if I did...
I feel like when I eventually start presenting as a female, I will sit down, since I was remembering how my cousins were talking negatively about trans people, so I guess I want to kind of help bring a positive image or something.
Now I come to think about it, I was considered pretty weird at school when I refused to use the urinals and have always sat down, so I don't even know what it's like to stand to pee. The boys used to tease me for this, and sometimes they'd stare over the top of the cubicle at me asking why I sat to pee. From Year 1 I was called girly boy and the boys completely and utterly rejected me, not that I really cared because I didn't regard myself as a boy anyway and only socialised with the girls, who were always more genuine.
I also used to use the girls loos at school, according to my parents, back in 1990 when I started school, and had to be told not to and pressure was put on my parents to 'educate' me also. It was a Catholic primary school and at time I was just seen as disobedient I guess. Even telling my parents that I was a girl at the age of 4 and repeating it year after year, even to my doctor failed to get any kind of sympathy. Nobody prescribed me hormone blockers, they just told me to grow up. I just wish that I'd been born say in 2000, rather than 1985 and in a country where gender dysphoria is better understood and catered for. Caitx

I don't see how that would be negative or positive. we pee how we want to... yay for free thinkers!!! lol
At home I stand, in public, sit! Not before covering the seat in toilet paper first :P Public bathrooms kinda gross me out.
Hell naw!!
Sitting is so much more pleasant, enjoyable and relaxing. If it takes a little longer to complete the job you don't have to stand there looking like >:-) you are playing with that thing >:-). You don't have to be paranoid about having pee spots on your trousers from splashing or getting the last spurt after tucking that thing back in. Stood for many years before choosing to :) sit :)
I've never used a women's public restroom, but I'd definitely sit.. And in men's restrooms.. I fear sitting. lol! I actually avoid public restrooms as much as I can! At home it just depends.. Oh and just for sake of conversation, there is a device cis-women can use to pee standing up! http://www.go-girl.com
I don't think it's a mark against femaleness to do so. :)

I think that people who know what you were using would understand and find it to be acceptable. However, I can see two main problems with it.
(1) Women who don't know and see your feet facing the wrong way when in the women's restroom could be a problem.
(2) Wouldn't it be uncomfortable since you would not be able to wipe and would have residule dampness between your labia?
I had an internal battle about this.
Will it break the feminine story I'm trying to construct? Will I do put my self-esteem down by not acting femininely?
In the end I decided I'll just do what's comfortable for me. And hey, while it's there, why not get the single available good use of it? So for a while now I haven't used urinals because I don't want guys seeing my thing - but I do stand up. Don't worry about spills, I'm freakishly clean in these matters. I even wipe the floor if I cause a drop haha.

I did never like to pee standing up, since my teenage I started to pee while sitting and do it till now. The only exception is the dirty bathrooms like the public disgusting man bathrooms, in these I stand up.
I mostly sit. Always have. Sometimes I stand because it's fast and convenient. I bet some cis women wish they could do that too.
Sitting is always so much neater, especially in a small bathroom. I was in the ER recently on my back all wired up for an EKG, my jeans still on and zipped and one of those backless gowns on when the nurse hands me the little plastic urinal and asks me to pee for her. "Uh - really? Listen darlin do you think you can find the little thing and get it out for me? I'm really quite indisposed at the moment!" :D
Mac1 : Why wouldn't you be able to wipe? I'm thinking of getting one of those doohickeys because I love hiking and biking and peeing in the woods is MUCH more challenging now. But trust me, you can wipe a vulva without sitting down on a toilet. :)

One of my girl friends laughingly uses the drip dry method in a pinch!
Shantel : Heck, even that's a little hardcore IMO. :) Just tuck some paper into the panties, if we must, and it'll "wipe" down there better than dripping into the underpants (ew!)...

I agree with you in principle. However, how do you plan to do it through the fly opening in your jeans? I think you would almost have to pull down your jeans and panties inorder to wipe properly.

I like that answer.
I used to stand at home and sit in public. Now I sit all the time. Standing actually seems really weird now. o_0 I'll admit, it'd be more convenient sometimes though... :-\
Mac1 : Ah, I see what you're getting at. I don't know of any women personally who pee through the fly, even with one of those devices; it might be technically possible, but it's too likely to get messy. So yeah, the pants still get pulled down a bit (or the skirt pulled up, I suppose).

This^^___^^ is how I'll handle the wiping when I'm out enjoying the great outdoors and I have to squat to pee in the woods after SRS. For now tho, I'm able to wipe while squatting if necessary. I feel the same way, drops of pee in panties = ew!, lol!

Also, sitting to pee while wearing heels is... a bit strange and awkward. o_o Just sayin'.
I've done it sitting down my whole life (unless I had no other choice)... I just told people I was lazy and would rather sit lol (they didn't need to know, sitting down just felt more natural to me)
I was of the belief (and still am to some extent): What's the difference? Doesn't change who I am.
However, the past couple weeks I've started only sitting to pee. My thought process isn't that it feels "right" (it's really more that I don't care either way), but that I'm wanting to do as many feminine things as possible so I can feel more comfortable when I finally do start hrt and go full time. It seems kind of silly, but I'm trying to train my brain and get rid of the toxic thoughts by doing small things like that.

Doing it standing in heals might even be more awkward. You know tht most girls sit, and they wear heals.
Yes I do lol I got a schlong so why not
As far back as my memory goes, I've always urinated sitting down. Ewww peeing standing is just not me! However, if anyone else feels comfortable standing, go for it, you're no less female! :)
Sitting down 99%, especially in the women's restroom! It seems more natural anyway.
Rarely. When in public or at work.
Have sat or squatted full time for past 17 years with no exceptions other than in the shower. Am now totally paranoid of standing and don't have any desire to do so.
I do pee standing I feel more comfortable doing that even when I'm at home or I'm publc I use a private bathroom lift the seat pull it out and go even though when I'm wearing panties and have to go badly its hard getting it out sometimes to pee sometimes I almost pee my pants trying to do that
Exclusively sit to pee, haven't stood for a few years now, feels very uncomfortable if I even think of not sitting.
Standing up and peeing anywhere is something I will dearly miss. Not necessarily in the restroom but out in the woods or similar and I'm out in the woods a lot either cutting wood or camping. I'm an outdoors kinda gal. There's even a device for cis women to pee standing up so I know I'm not alone. I had a dream once where Marci Bowers was going to do my SRS and before I went under she said, "all right this is it. Anything you wanna do before you go to sleep?" I said, "you know maybe I should tell my wife first... Oh and I need to pee one last time standing up."
Lowkey, sometimes xD but more than half the time I sit. I only stand on rare occasions & it feels really weird when I do

My biomother was an only parent and she never taught my twin and I to stand and pee. But years later while my foster mum and I where fooling around she suggested I try it. And I did with messy results as I had no idea how to point it. I just feel that sitting is a cleaner way to go to the toilet and that is all I have ever known to do.
About 6 years ago i started sitting while peeing. Feels weird when i have to do it standing up.
It was one of the ways that i felt i could practice my femininity, posture too.
i think it had to do with deeply disliking my maleness and wanting to break it down.
Started sitting about 15 years ago. Now do almost all the time. Boy, though, if I go all the way with this I'm *really* going to miss being able to stand while we're hiking and backpacking. I guess I can get one of those little gadgets.
Quote from: Sadie on June 05, 2013, 10:38:02 AM
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.
For this reason and this reason alone do I ever stand to pee. I find that if I pee sitting down I inevitably have to go again in about 10 minutes due to a not fully evacuated bladder. If I pee standing up this does not occur so at home I will occasionally (maybe 1 in 5 times) go standing up due to the medical condition called an extra unwanted appendage.

I sit
I think I posted a while back on this thread that I sit..
Just today I realized I am so used to it I never give standing a thought.. ever.
Its just me.... we are all different.. Also, standing up and doing it your gonna splash even if you can't tell .. so its more messy.
Carrie
Up and until the last day before surgery I peed standing up. I found it easier and more clean to pee this way. But since my surgery, sitting down is fine as well. Already used to it.
Ever since a child I would sit. However there are times if absolutely needed I will stand, but not often
I quit peeing years ago.
now I just tinkle...

I want to learn to pee standing up when I'm postop and all the swelling is down.
it would be a handy trick outdoors or for really nasty toilets.
ImagineKate is correct: there are several commercial companies that sell such outdoor camping tools. Obviously they are in business because there are women, cis and trans, that stand to urinate under some circumstances. Diversity applies to all sorts of human functions.
I never liked standing, tried it when I was young, but way too involved for me.... I do however, stand/squat against a wall (car, tree, etc.) and pull my panties down to pee in an emergency with no bathrooms, not sure that counts as peeing standing up though.
Gets the job done. ;D

Since you pull your panties down and assume a "sitting like" position I would call that squatting. Even though I have a male appendage and currently present as a male, I pull my pants and panties down and squat when outside. Standing would be doing it through the fly in my trousers when in a totally upright position and I have become paranoid (fear of splashing all over my pants and retaining urine) of that.
My answer isn't up there. Sometimes, doesn't necessarily have to be in a "only when I have to" situation.

Ha. Yes I try to "do my business" away from the trails and water sources. But in reality you want moving water anyway or filtered standing water with a lifestraw or similar. If I'm camping where there are no facilities I will make my own according to what I learned in scouts.

I would probably make quite a mess if I tried, I started sitting to pee about 6 years ago after a partner said I had to. Though I have done it standing in the shower a few times.

You got it. Surely the girls on this site recognize the guys are frequently talking about STPs? That's right, stand to pee devices. What works for some!
i am female i been standing to pee for 18 year i dont think it got anything to do with dirty bathrooms
i do it in my own home and everwhere
sha-lee, do you use one of the STP device?
Well if I want to sit down, I need to take half my clothes off.
Much easier to just flop it out. I probably give my colleagues stage fright though. High heels + peeing standing sounds ftw.
Sometimes, but I'm learning to get used to sitting now that I have some outfits where standing isn't so straightforward.
Honestly it feels a lot cleaner sitting so I have no complaints. Certainly feels strange after standing most of my life!
Zoetrope, I expect you would give people something to wonder about seeing you dressed as a woman standing appearing to pee as a guy. They could have many other things more serious to worry about.
I mainly sit these days, except when in public then I stand. I also have no bottom disphoria, its there so I use it.
I sit down most of the time, only stand when i cant hold it or nasty toilets, ewwwwwww
Everybody pees in the shower... I'd feel awfully weird sitting to do so. ;)

Hey girls I have to update my reply on this.
I said first time that heck no I sit every time.. well thats not true anymore.
As time has passed being full time.. I have become confident in who I am now.. so it does not bother me to use it.. so to speak out of convenience.. I mean why not right!!
However I always sit in the woman's bathrooms in public..
Muah!
Keri
I'd sit whenever possible, especially if I was all dressed up. Only once was I glad to have a penis because I had on a nice outfit and the port-a-potty was absolutely filthy inside. Wet floor, and almost everywhere else wet too.
I intentionally had my last stand up pee on June 9 2015 at 3:30PM before heading into the operating room. After that, well sitting is now a necessity but no regrets.
Love,
Clare
At home I do sit. At other places I was at sitting until I got sick of cleaning or even flushing other people's stuff. So, when I see dirt, I do stand while I can. ;D Later I will just hover, probably with worse aim than I have now. :angel:
It seems to have come too with the full time, @Keri. ;)
These days I cannot aim properly so I sit.
Only whilst in public and at work. I sit elsewhere.
Sit only.
This isn't something to debate.
Here in Houston we are debating the Equal Rights ordinance. It's opponents characterize it as the ->-bleeped-<- bathroom bill.
This is serious. It is our dignity, equality, safety and lives on the line.
I will say this. I was in a public women's restroom doing my business when someone walked in and peed standing up.
I was terrified. Honestly I worked hard to not have an all out panic attack. That sound does not belong. Women don't want to hear it.
One is stuck in a stall with who knows outside. You are in a very vulnerable position.
Just don't. Ever.
I've hardly ever stood up to pee.

Aiming for sides of the bowl inside walls should leave others none the wiser. Direct fall is somethink to avoid anyway as it sparkles all over the place...
Doing it that way since being a kid to avoid the noise.

Well also feet should point out not in. Seeing that is also bad
Actually, this reminds me - the last time I peed standing up was somewhere on the sixth day AFTER surgery. ;) That damned catheter made it mandatory! We were all complaining about how ironic that was. And now I'm looking into getting one of those doohickeys that lets someone with a vulva pee standing, because my last couple of hikes up a mountain included some times when I really wished I could do that.
(I know, the question was really for people with penises, but I'm amused by both situations.)
Jenna Marie, there are times when peeing standing up is very nice and convenient, like hiking/camping. I would think anyone with a vulva who did much outdoors, hiking/camping, would want to get one of the devices so they didn't have to lower there pants to pee. I know the guys just step off the trail pee and are back so quickly.
Only in public restrooms. I sit down at home.

Locking for clean up, review and to let things cool down
:police:
Topic remains locked for the time being to allow things to settle down.Okay folks. Here is the deal. I know that bathrooms are a hot button topic and some of the concerns others have we all when in the bathroom. Despite all of that it isn't an excuse to take other posts personally, judge or attack other users for what they do. This topic isn't here to discuss the legalities of what bathroom and how how use it. The topic deviated in that direction and has been clean up as a result of that because it started to result in members attacking each other. Here so TOS to keep in mind. The topic will be reopened in a bit, but only after things have been given a proper cooling off time. Thanks

In the past five months I've only peed standing up a grand total of once. Only because the bathroom I was at was super super nasty. So it was the one time I was happy to still have the thing. Otherwise I don't know what I would have done.

It is nobody's business where stranger's feet point. What an invasion of privacy that would be. And I would expect it to actually pass in the US. That is, I sense trans women could be harassed in the US for standing in a restroom. It doesn't make that harassment right though.
Being reminded of those gaps, I can say I am glad to live in place where restroom spaces have actual doors that span from the floor to the ceiling. The gap is in range of millimeters. I haven't seen a high gap restroom space door since prim school in eastern Europe.
Sit down, always have done, unless it's super minging then maybe but I can't think of the last time I pee'd standing up.
I sit at home.
At work I use the men's room and sit.
Only if restroom conditions are pretty gross.
For as long as I remember I sit down :angel:
Thanks to my coffee habit and spiro, I've been having incontinence issues. Whenever I pee, I've still got some left. Over the next hour, about a tablespoon or two will dribble out.
The other day, I tried standing to pee and I got it all out in one go. I alternated sitting and standing, and the pattern is clear: I can't empty my bladder sitting down.
Oh well. I'm nonbinary. I prefer voluntarily excluding myself from women's restrooms if it means not pissing my pants a few times a day.
I always sit at home/friends but in public i am also "kind of " sitting. I get in position but i just dont completly sit ( my ass doesnt touch the seat) Very hard for the legs but at least im not doing my pee standing up loll. Been doing that since im kid.

AKA the hover :p
I do this too when I pee in bars. Also there is a modified hover used for peeing in city streets >:-)
I always sit and pee. Except in the woods where I stoop
The last time that I stood was in 1997.
There are times when standing is really convenient: dir y urnals, fishing in a boat and there are no containers, when it's stupid cold to name a few.
I don't like it but it's there....

I have been making a conscious effort to sit...or hover in the case of public restrooms (of course, I have always had a phobia of public restrooms anyway, so that part is easy).
Hey, if everyone's hovering over public restroom toilets, it probably means that I can sit on them without fear.

:laugh:
For me, I will seriously consider standing if the last occupant hovered.
I did stand up in early childhood, but never really managed to get the hang of it and eventually stopped entirely when I was around 8. I only started standing up again within the last 5 years, but it still doesn't feel right and I only do it when I have no other choice (I'm in the wilderness, all the stalls are full, or the seat is really filthy)
Also, I started wiping myself around the time I entered puberty. I just couldn't keep control the way guys were supposed to.
Actually, I never figured out why that was giving me problems; I'd always thought I must be defective or stunted or something because it just seemed to come naturally to guys while I was struggling with it. Now I'm realizing that doing this after the female way has been the norm for me and I'm more comfortable with that.
I generally sit but when at work as a trucker it's best to stand to draw less attention.
Sophie
My wife jokingly commented on me sitting down the other day. I told her since I'm starting HRT and will be starting RLE in the fall, I thought I should go ahead and get in the habit. Then I said she hadn't complained about the seat being up lately. She laughed and said, "There is that."
I have sat full time (under all circumstances) for the last 18 plus years. My wife has observed me doing so but has never commented. I would like to have her comment on it.
I am reminded of I think it was a comedian who asked her fellow woman kind, if your going to hover, please please put the seat up first. Just because you consider it too filthy to sit on dose not mean the next woman will be as bothered by it, unless you go and piss all over it trying not to sit.
Serena
PS. women if you bring your children into the restroom and they make a mess of things please clean up after them or at least tell someone about it, Some of us have to work another 5 hours and holding it really is not much of a option.
Wearing mostly jeans or skinny jeans these days. Those zippers weren't exactly designed for "getting it out", so sitting full time now.
I have stood once in two years and that was in a porta-potty. That thing was just too nasty to think about sitting down. Plus I had to go really, really bad.

As a general rule I sit, but when at home I often give in to convenience.

Wearing mostly jeans or skinny jeans these days. Those zippers weren't exactly designed for "getting it out", so sitting full time now.
^^^ This! Those zippers are about an inch and a half long, and thankfully, I need a
little more clearance than that! :laugh:
I am sure taking advantage of my last 19 days of being able to stand.. I don't really know why.. I suppose its knowing I will never be able to do it again.. so I do it..
LOL... I will miss the convenience..

I can't remember the last time i stood up. I sit. Even on gross public facilities i do the "hover"
I've sat since I was about 4 or 5, not much after I was toilet trained. It seemed better for some reason. Never really thought about standing up honestly. I mean, those urinals are there, but I'll just leave that to the boys. They usually wait in lines behind them here. I'd rather get out of the blasted men's room than wait!
I only pee standing up when I can't do it sitting down. (Normally in places without a restroom, like when I go hiking.) The last time I used a urinal was two years ago. I've always defaulted to sitting down whenever I had a choice, for as long as I can remember.
I guess I'm the odd one. I tend to stand when I can get away with it, its just easier and I've never been one to let opinions stop me from doing something. Now if I'm in a public restroom or anywhere that people don't know I'm trans I sit down, I also sit if the pants I'm wearing won't really let me pull myself out to pee.

I'm really interested in this as that's been my experience. Years back people used to say things like 'good grief you pee like a girl.'
Yep :D
No. I used to not care either way at some point, but I figured I would start early with girl habits before transitioning and it's also a lot more comfortable to me.

I like to pee sit down since I don't want to spray every where.

Growing up I used to pee mostly standing up, because that's what people expected. Whatever. I could never use urinals though, I just don't like them and they are so not private enough for me. I still am early in my transition, so I still present male publicly and use the men's room if there isn't a non-gendered one. Now I usually sit down unless I'm in a rush to go somewhere or do something. It's far more comfortable for me.

How exactly were they able to tell? Stalls normally make it extremely hard to tell whether you pee standing or sitting down, and a lot of people prefer not to use urinals because they don't offer very much privacy.
I love this place so much. Whenever I consider something and think I'm the only girl thinking about this stuff, I find a post like this :) so I'm pre-transition and I pee sitting down unless I have to. Being I'm just getting my head around being trans and I have a girlfriend I'm slowly introducing aspects of my girl side to, I like to do little subtle things to make me feel girly when I can. Growing and colouring my hair, wearing a few bits of subtle clothing and yes, peeing sitting down. It's amazing how you can find weird little ways to express yourself :laugh:

Oh yeah. I got "you hit like a girl" and "you cross your legs like a girl."
Even when peeing outside, I pull my pants down and squat.

For pre-op and non-op girls, do you ever pee standing up?
I sit, unless it's public disgusting (I use the men's room mostly still...why can't you boys aim better) or I am in an AMAZING hurry which is almost never.
I dont remember when it started but I can pee now with my legs closed. I couldn't do that before hrt. I wonder what why I'm able to now.
NEVER!!!have sat for over 40 years, was never comfortable standing.
I always sit to go I have been full time now for over a Year and both Myself and I both complain when her son visits as he ALWAYS LEAVES THE SEAT UP there I have said it I now understand what my wife had been on about for Years after I dived in to have a quick pee without looking and ended up in the water .This never happens when its just Us as we both always sit to go .I am officially a girl now I claim cos I think just like the Wife LOL

When I'm at work, I sometimes shamelessly use the girls room. Not just because I'm a girl, but also because the men's room can be so disgusting... If my co-workers ever catch me going to the girls room, that will be my excuse. :P
I've actually been peeing in the backyard a lot, which I never used to do. But the spiro makes me have to pee so much and I feel bad for using that much water just to pee. And most likely when I'm in public I'll pee standing up, because yucky, but not on my toilet at home.
