      Thanks for revealing the serious “issue”. We should have members of congress discussing this every single day and invest ton of money to legislate on the subject.

        I just wanna pee in peace and safety without being looked at, talked to, heard, smelt, harassed, raped, beat up, mugged, arrested, or executed.

        One time I was at the mall with my partner and some friends (all girls) and we were drinking bubble tea and shopping and hanging out, it was really nice. After a couple hours, we all had to pee and walked towards the nearest bathrooms. Everybody else got to go, and I was just too uncomfortable to go into either of the bathrooms, so didn’t and was just physically uncomfortable for the next few hours while I held it.

        I wish it wasn’t an issue and I could deal with my own transition without the added riling up of people and possible legal issues of GOING PEE.

        I honestly just avoid doing stuff now because it’s so stressful and risky. I can’t even leave the country anymore because I can’t risk getting my documents confiscated and put on a list trying to get a passport. I feel like a second rate citizen in my home country. Land of the free: only if you’re a cishet white man.
