And do you know, I never even thought about sitting with legs spread.

Neither did I. It did not occur to me there was another way to sit! 

Something else I read was to drop trousers to floor. It's gross, but it's the done thing. Only ladies leave their bottom attire up around their knees.

Oh, and mind the noise. Different equipment makes different noise. Practice being "ninja style quiet" at home... 'cause that... peeing noise? Yeah, bio-men don't do that.

Lol, I remember my mom yelling at me when I was a little kid for dropping my pants all the way down to the floor in public restrooms: 'don't do that, then everyone can see your underpants!'

My mother often tells me "Always wear clean underpants when you leave the house - you never know if you're going to be hit by a bus!"

Problem solved!

I never understood that saying?

Can someone explain it to me because it's never made sense to me.

I always thought it was literal? Women own a lot of underwear...

"Always wear clean underpants when you leave the house - you never know if you're going to be hit by a bus!"

I asked my mom to explain that one once.  She said: "well, if the paramedics have to cut off your clothes, you don't want them to see your dirty underpants."  I would think everyone concerned would have bigger worries than underwear if someone was hit by a bus, but OK...

Trust me, they don't care. They've seen much worse.

I expect they're just glad if you're wearing underwear at all.

Funny... my mother explained it exactly the same way!

I would think that getting hit by the bus would cause one to dirty those once clean underpants...

I remember my mum saying the same thing and same explanation 50 yrs ago

I'm also led to believe that in a serious accident one of the first things the body does is 'void' as a reflex.

Maybe it started with underwear salespeople.

Besides legs spread, pants on floor, weeing quietly. Don't talk. Deep cough. Clearing phlem from the throat. Never ever try and not fart, and do so in public. In fact anything gross .
Don't check how you look in the mirror (if any).
Don't make eye contact, unless gay in a gay club.

My opinion only

LOL@ the bus comment... Yeah, doesn't one void their bowels upon dying anyway? I'd think a prior cleaning would not really matter much in this event...

Haircut and glasses are too feminine, plus jewellery and pouty lips.

Today I went to use the mens room and I had two guys (one on each side of me) taking a number 2. Pants to the floor and they were very loud sounds coming from their behinds. lol I pass 100% of the time and I rarely use the mens room cause I'm still getting used to it.

I can vouch for that.

I second not using the men's bathroom until you start running into issues with the women's room. I didn't switch until I had several encounters with women either double checking the room they walked into or actually asking me if I was in the right restroom.  I think once you get to that level you pass well enough that men won't pay close attention to you.

I second losing the earrings, and you may want to get some square rimmed glasses, partly because it's in fashion with men at the moment and partly because you want as many angles on your face as possible to offset the roundness you'll have until you've been on T for a while.

This thread is over six years old. The OP probably has different glasses by now.
