Two great stories and sooo funny

[daedsider]

thank you!

[BoomTiss]

Is it too terribly shameful that the "rest" joke cracked me up so much??

[daedsider]

Yes, it is far too terribly shameful.

I'd also like to add that bathrooms can be scary! And the whole notion of "passing" bothers me in the first place -- does it mean I'm taking a test every time I go out in public??

[queerkidz]

Super funny, and totally rad. I especially liked the part where you were smoking AND biking up a huge hill. Totally bad ass.

@enterprisingbones i know what you mean. once in vegas (before i transitioned, i'm a trans guy) a woman yelled at me and chased me away from the women's room. when i worked at a health club/community center, women would grab their kids when i'd walk in (w/ my employee badge and everything), give dirty looks, and make shitty comments. there was a point in which i couldn't go into EITHER bathroom in public cause i didn't feel safe or that people would let me be.

@misspollyy i wouldn't say that *anyone* who bends their gender even a little bit has had negative experiences trying to access restrooms. which is why the subject of passing privilege comes up. there was a time that i wasn't safe using either the men's or the women's restroom.

(i may pass now, but the fear has not diminished. i make mental notes about where to find gender neutral bathrooms. thankfully they are fairly common in my area these days)

sometimes i forget that not everyone (cis folks) don't have to worry every time they need to use a restroom. how NOVEL.

my family refuses to use the correct pronouns for me, which in public places makes me extra nervous.

i have been yelled at & even chased out of restrooms. people grab their children. seriously. it SUCKS. thanks for this post red. i got to see you perform in Oakland, and you are super rad. i hope to see you again sometime.

Love this! I think anyone who bends their gender even a lil bit has had to deal with the complexities of bathrooms. in the end I guess it's always a bit of a crapshoot. lol Thanks for sharing your experiences!
