Do you think transmen should use the woman's restroom?

[Karlfanaloka]

I think not. A transman is a man regardless he was born female. I'm asking this because transmen are never talked about with the bathroom issue. It's confusing as most transmen I know personally as I'm a gay man, they look like cis men. I think woman would feel uncomfortable. This goes vise versa as well.

[Penyair]

I'm unclear on your wording if you mean someone born male who becomes female or someone born female who becomes a male. A person born male who wants to be female I see no reason why they shouldn't use the female washroom and as for a woman who wants to be a man no reason why they shouldn't use a man's. However I understand why some might feel discomfort. Because in rare cases maybe someone might lie about their orientation/gender.

I think it would be best if bathrooms were unisex unless there was a small room with urinals only. This is because so much space is taken up by gender specific toilets. If you have to go really badly and there is a line up what do you do? I have walked into the other genders bathroom and used it when it was quiet because otherwise I could of wet myself or something. I think unisex bathrooms take away any gender issues and just address a shared human issue. Which is that basically all people need to use a bathroom sometimes.

Where I live they do have separate toilets for parents. This is because its not always the mom taking care of the baby sometimes its a male. Sometimes as well if it is the mom they may want to breast feed some some bathrooms have a separate area with bench and some privacy for women to nurse babies. Bottle fed babies usually are fed out in public but not all parents are comfortable breast feeding in public.(though I have done it with a blanket over my breast and the babies head so others wouldn't be uncomfortable.

First of all, Transmen would likely not even WANT to use a female bathroom. They consider themselves men, so why would would they want to use a bathroom that's for women? Their whole goal is to move away from that sort of thing and be like any other guy. So your question doesn't make much sense. Anyway, people should be able to use the bathroom of whatever sex they identify themselves as.

[Karlfanaloka]

I know that. I'm talking about the bathroom bill. If it gets past. Transgender people would have to use the bathroom from there biological sex. I think that's wrong. So I agree with you.

[Mydnite]

ok i see what you mean now. Yeah you're right.

[Karlfanaloka]

😃👏

[Mydnite]

do you know if the pics you posted are of those that have gone through the surgery down there?

[Karlfanaloka]

No I don't

[Mydnite]

ok. it's just interesting how in general, FTM look a lot more attractive than MTF, but i realize that's just a generalization. I can find both attractive.

[Curlybeauty17]

I feel like people should use the restroom that requires the parts that they biologically have at the moment. The restroom is for the dispelling of waste out of your body rather than a source of gender discussions/debates.

[Curlybeauty17]

Like if you've had your transitional surgery good for you, go for it. Honestly if you dress and look like your preferred gender no one is going to know but you if you go into the restroom you prefer. I mean unless you are biologically still female and try to use a urinal.

[Karlfanaloka]

I'm not transgender, I was biological born male. I'm gay that's it. I just have dated transmen in the past.

[Curlybeauty17]

I know. I read that in your post. I wasn't specifically referring to you.

[Karlfanaloka]

Oh oopsy ☺️

[Máiiréad]

I couldn't give two flying fucks
Piss wherever your heart desires, as long as it is in a damn bathroom. Whichever bathroom it is doesn't matter to me.

[Karlfanaloka]

That's good to hear, that's good to hear.

[Karlfanaloka]

Woa madam your language. But I agree with you 100%

[Máiiréad]

I'm a blunt and honest woman, what can I say. :P

[Karlfanaloka]

You should read my profile😆

[Máiiréad]

That was the most majestic thing I have ever read
Magical

[Karlfanaloka]

Why thank you.

[Máiiréad]

Welcome you majestic man of wonder

[Karlfanaloka]

Welcome to you my dear

[Karlfanaloka]

I meant to say welcome my dear. 😆

the problem with allowing people to use whichever bathroom they feel like they belong in is the fact the it, by law, gives legal rights to any pervert to go hang out in locker rooms and showers. All they have to do is claim that they "feel like a man or women". It's never been just about the bathrooms. Anyone that thinks that, is missing a whole part of the story. It's already happening in Washington. A man sat in the women's locker room while a teen/pre-teen girls swimming team was in there changing/showering. They legally had to let him because of the stupid law now. That be crazy.

[it2ly]

There was a girl that pretended to be a guy at my school and she went into the boys bathrooms and took photos of them naked and she got away with it...
I slapped her across the face

[ak666]

I really don't care. Women could walk into the men's bathroom for all I care. Only time I cared was in a cramped unisex toilet where I was peeing with a girl standing right next to me while my dick was out, but it still wasn't so big of a deal since I heard her peeing right next to me in a stall a few seconds after. Maybe we should just go unisex with the toilets.

[Regulatus]

There's not much option to do otherwise. Unisex is in the near future.

[Karlfanaloka]

You do know transmen can wear a prostestic devise to pee out of like a man can. So some use the urnals. I'm gay and dated transmen in the past so I know.

[ak666]

>> You do know transmen can wear a prostestic devise to pee out of like a man can.

Don't really mind so much as long as they can aim that thing. :-D

[Karlfanaloka]

Yeah 😊

[TheButterfly]

I thought that said trashman at first. I dont see why people have an uproar about where people do their business. If a trasnman wants to use the mens restroom I dont see a problem at all and vice versa for a transwoman

[Karlfanaloka]

That's the spirit my friend.

[BellePepper]

They should just use whatever restroom they like since no one can tell anyway.

[Karlfanaloka]

👍👏

[bilove]

I think its all very complicated, in fact i feel the easiest way to settle this whole bathroom thing would be to made unisex bathrooms more prevalent, and yeah sure you can spew on about "safety" but you can't have your cake and eat it. best i could come up with

[ElissaDido]

I'm just glad this type of debate haven't reached my country yet. This is too confusing...
Transmen are females with surgery and heavy hormone intake but since sometimes you can't tell the difference between cis and trans nobody would even notice.

[Karlfanaloka]

Transmen may be born female but they are men mentally.

[ElissaDido]

But physically> Mentally
If you take a donkey and paint him in white and black he might look like a zebra but he would still be a donkey...

[Karlfanaloka]

So your ok if a female to male transgender is in the woman's bathroom?

[Karlfanaloka]

Good for you 😈

[Anonymous]

I think there just shouldn't be gendered bathrooms; every bathroom should be for anyone to use.

[Karlfanaloka]

Ya but my friend wants gender bathrooms.

[Opinion Owner]

I disagree with them then, I'm sorry. I'm a feminist, I want to tear down the concept of gender and gender roles altogether because I think they're harmful. That doesn't mean I'm disrespectful of trans people; I support anyone's self expression as long as they're not hurting anyone else (I think trans' people's gender identities are equally as valid as anyone else's; in that I think gender is a construct which we maintain and create through performance and socialisation). But in my opinion, everyone would be more comfortable in themselves and their bodies if we destroyed the concept of there being 'right' or 'wrong' types of bodies (in terms of female corresponding to femininity, male to masculinity, and intersex and non binary people being ostracized; as well as more generally in terms of beauty standards too). And that we would treat each other better if we broke down these arbitrary divisions we're continuing to reproduce as a society.

[Karlfanaloka]

I'm not Christian or anything but I believe there are only 2 genders male and female. ntersex and transgender including. That's my opinion.

[Opinion Owner]

Male and female are sexes, not genders. Genders would be masculinity and femininity: sex is about biology, gender is about culture and behaviour

[Karlfanaloka]

Okay I will go with that.

[Opinion Owner]

So then intersex people are those whose biology doesn't fit into the sex category of either male or female (this is 4% of people). And non binary people are those who don't feel their gender fits neatly into the category of masculine or feminine

[it2ly]

Genders masculinity and femininity?
Um no.. masculinity and femininity are personality traits.
A girl can be masculine and she's rendered as a tomboy etc..

[ThisDudeHere]

I have gotten hate for just assuming that a person is the gender they were born as and quite frankly nothing can change that.

[Karlfanaloka]

Ok so if you believe that, would you date a transman then. Since you bealeave there female?

[ThisDudeHere]

No? I wouldn't date anyone who attempted such a thing - it's obviously a sign of mental instability.

[Karlfanaloka]

Good for you

[ThisDudeHere]

Thank you.

[Phoenix98]

You use whatever bathroom of the gender you were born as, you can mutilate your body all you want but your chromosomes show you for what you are and they can not be changed.

[Karlfanaloka]

What if the person who was born female and is a transman was harassing woman in the bathroom/locker room? It's ok because a transman is a female? No it's not ok.

[Phoenix98]

Still belongs in the same bathroom to the gender that they were born as period if your female you go in the female bathroom if your a male you go in the male bathroom.

[Karlfanaloka]

Wow that's ok, I'm sure the strait transman would be happy being around the ladies 😍

[Karlfanaloka]

I'm not trans but I know a trans guy who is straight. He doesn't like the bathroom issue

[Karlfanaloka]

Those were my friends words not mind.

[skaikrasha]

Why would a man use the woman's restroom? He's a man, he should use the restroom all the other men use.

[Karlfanaloka]

I'm talking about the bathroom bill that I don't agree with. I'm on your side.

[skaikrasha]

I know xD

[jacquesvol]

I don't care about who is in the cubicle. Even less about that person's crotch.

[Anonymous]

I don't care tbh

[Karlfanaloka]

Good for you.

[redridinggirlTR]

Duh!
