Maybe this should be posted in Bathroom News, but it's not a legal issue. Many times I've attended CD, Trans social events, gals out in public with supportive SO's or spouses. Usually just a fun night out, dressing up, and other wives to meet with.
 Till last meeting. While answering natures call, someone in the stall next me came in and peed standing up.
For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would go through the bother to dress as female and pee as a man. In the woman's washroom! Even though I was done, I wouldn't leave the stall till I heard the main door shut. Quite often, I've shared the facilities with Cd's. Although I really 'know', it's part of accepting their desires. Do your business, wash hands and check make up. All part of being a woman. But to announce yourself as male by standing up to pee is an intrusion on the privacy of all women.

I applaud your support for your cross-dressing SO, Eileen. And do not doubt your mortification at the 'washroom incident.' Ironically, one of my (many) ex-wives stood up to urinate in public restrooms. She was terrified of whatever someone else might have left behind on the toilet seat. As Donald Rumsfeld famously said, "Gender is messy." I'm old. Maybe he was talking about something else, but gender is messy. I present male when I'm in public, but I sit down to urinate. Nothing to do with gender identity, but prostate health. I hope I'm not offending any of the 'real' males when I do.

Thanks Mrs. Oliphant.
 My husband usually sits while at home, it's a lot less messy. He also had some medical issues some time back, using the stall instead of a urinal was less stressful Don't sit in the urinal.
Public washrooms are disgusting, therefore many women hover. A tricky maneuver if there is nothing to hold on to.
Careful to not fill your panties.

There was a fun survey recently and about half of German men sit down to pee if they get the chance. It's a common behaviour but guess what, standing to pee is heavily scripted. Best thing to do with the script is flush it away with everything else

A friend of ours runs a museum in the boonies in Canada and she had us helpless over tales of how many broken toilet seats they get. It took em ages to discover it was because some women were standing on the seats and squatting down. Until the penny dropped they couldn't work out why they kept finding footprints on the plastic!

Maybe they need to retrofit the ladies room for some squatting toilets like they have in Japan?
