    What you’re seeing here is numbered doors of toilet stalls.

    This picture is from the inside of a restroom area, so any gender icons would be the outside of any door in here anyway.

      ytf do they number their stalls? is it like: “help, my zipper’s stuck! I’m in stall oo. Whatever you do, don’t go into stall o!”

      “where did you say you were?”

      (sighs) “stall oo, toilet |||, co-sharing toilet roll ~~~. Hurry!”

        “Hey Randy, grab the bucket, someone’s had explosive diarrhea all over stall three again.”

        Putting in a support ticket. “Flushing problem in stall two of the toilets on the second floor.”

        So Randy doesn’t need to go through all the flushes to find the broken one.

        I read “stall oo” in my head pronounced like in “food” which is hilariously useless information for those needs

        Easy identification by cleanup or maintenance crew, I’d gather

        The airport near Stockholm. Private little rooms. Everyone has a loo and a sink and room to change. It’s so humane.

          I use the handicapped stall at work for that privacy. Need to do a little song and dance to get my clothes and tool belt arranged, and I get my own sink.

          For any haters, as the handicapped say, it’s accessible, not reserved. (And not many handicapped folks in a hardware store.)

        That’s how most public toilets are. Who the fuck wants to be in cubicle to do their private business?

        Most hotels, restaurants, and cafés in Europe have singular private stalls like this.

        Gas stations, clubs, airports and schools might have a big restroom with dividers, but if they are fancy enough they might still have private rooms.

        Public toilets and campsites rarely have private rooms.

      My cousin’s husband is pissing in the sink then, after his operation for testicular cancer left him in the “none of the above” category.

  • When you’re Nonbinary every bathroom feels like this, not because you don’t know which is which but because you don’t know which choice is more wrong or will get you in more trouble.

        Men don’t give a shit about who is in their bathroom, in my experience. Women, on the other hand, often stopped and harassed me when I was presenting female but cut my hair short (AFAB).

        • I’ve been harassed, yelled at, and insulted by women in the women’s room, but at least they never physically assaulted me. I don’t know if I could count on the men in the men’s room not to do the same and I’d rather not take the chance. I remember a story about a trans woman who was killed in the men’s room and it still gives me chills thinking about it.

        I think I’d disagree there, unless youra woman walking in half undressed i doubt you’d get more than a questioning glance if that, on top of the fact that it seems like a much lower bar to pass as male.

        Honestly, short of the Karen type who is looking around for things to get pissed about you probably won’t hear much of a fuss in the restrooms themselves on either side, really seems like the butt hurt people are men worried about who’s going into the women’s room, or women worried about the potential rather than anything that’s actually happening in the moment.

      • That’s what I usually do. Some people get mad or annoyed with me but I imagine it could be physically dangerous to go into the men’s room.

      Out of curiosity, what do you usually choose? I would imagine men tend to be less likely to care, but also maybe more dangerous if they do happen to care.

      • I usually go in the women’s room because people clock me more feminine than masc. Men’s room is very risky because they might not care but they might also be violent. If the bathroom is busy I pee sitting down so no one sees my feet facing the wrong way, I don’t really like it and it feels awkward to do which is why I pee standing up when it’s not busy or no one else is in there. I have been caught a few times and the women gave me shit for it, though it was always yelling, chastising, or slurs, they never got violent with me. Most violent one got was grabbing my ear and escorting me out of the bathroom. I don’t know if I could trust the men to do the same. I heard a story of a trans woman who was physically and sexually assaulted and murdered in a men’s room. That story is very much burned into my mind.

        I usually try to avoid public bathrooms in general but lately that’s been harder.

        I usually end up holding it in so the one at my house ;(

        (If it’s bad I go to the bathroom which matches my agab though but it’s not been necessary often)
