The community center pool had a locker switch day because the service guys were actually guys so they had signs out for the day the fixes needed to happen, and all the guys used the ladies' locker rooms and the ladies used the guys' locker room.

It was an existential letdown that i didn't find couches & soft seating in there...fantasy ruined...at least the showers were all individual, no shower room for 16. There is some luxury in that.

Now you've got me kinda curious how a surgically-made penile unit would look irl

[strawjack]

We just went thru this here at our office and a local elementary (yes, elementary) school just went thru it also.

Ours, the guy turned girl. She wanted to use the girls room once she officially changed her name and grew tits. My initial stance was - dick = guys room, vag = girls room. Since our corporate office is small, we opted to poll the women. Most were totally fine with it and I think two reluctantly said, 'ok' to it, but didn't want to stand out against the other women or this guy/girl.

To me we were essentially making two people feel uncomfortable because of one individual. It's a tough spot to be in.

The school (being public) had their attorneys involved and they determined what I had said above - penis - boys, vag - girls. But, the immediately let this kid start using the staff bathroom and then built a neutral gender bathroom.

Also, before he 'changed' he did walk in on me naked in our employee locker room (we have a gym/shower) and I felt bad for him. I honestly have no idea if he's gay or straight or whatever, but I could tell he (at the time) was not comfortable. So truly, she/he does belong in the womens room.

Caught this guy wizzing on my coworker's van yesterday while I was sitting at my desk
Attachment 176991

Just thought this was the most appropriate place to post that

He's pissing on the fence, not the van. do you need a male anatomy lesson?

so speaking of bathrooms-
this past year we have had a big influx of asian tourists and this summer there was a lot of problems with the bathrooms- many of the asian folks believing that they are to squat over the toilet (like their holes in the floor back home that serve as toilettes) So they put up these funny signs

What's wrong with doing the "Slater?" (top right?)

See that's just so fucking stupid. Why not just label them "Restroom" and be done with it?

[TBS]

^^^Maybe add "everybody welcome"?

[Tippster]

Why would that be necessary? They're single-user bathrooms...

He's pissing on the fence, not the van. do you need a male anatomy lesson?

there is a huge overhanging rack on the back of that van so that's kinda what I was thinking- but also this guy that owns the van is soooo protective of it, so it was just funny that we could joke around the office that his precious was defiled haha
it was pretty funny though bc it was during the wild west FIS race across the street at snow king mtn and I just watched the poor guy kind of run around in the lot doing the pee-pee dance and then he ran behind the van haha

Nevermind.

Thanks for an hours Saturday morning entertainment.

May you always be fully able and never have to experience the world through the lens of somebody who is less than fully able. The lack of compassion makes me want to throat punch you.

It truly is amazing.

Spent 2 months in a wheelchair and it really opened my eyes to another world where people won't meet your gaze and indeed look quickly away if they find they are looking at you (Look away! Look away! Don't stare at the cripple!), where crossing the street requires you to consider the logistics of whether or not it is doable without being hit by a car because the ramps aren't situated correctly and the granddaddy of them all - bathrooms that say they are wheelchair accessible that aren't really (or worse yet some able-bodied person is using the wheelchair stall when all the others are empty - yeah, I know we've gone round and round about that but having BTDT I am forever on the side of saving the stall for those who only get one choice).

I think some sort of work with disabled people should be a requirement for high school graduation.

People have absolutely no idea, whatsoever.

Jesus H Dude.

"Laugh at" "Scoff at" I can think of many things that you'd say here and I'd probably be there with you, but "throat punch a liberal?"

Sexual Assault Victims Speak Out Against Washington’s Transgender Bathroom Policies

[mtngirl79]

It's a completely different issue. Those people weren't sexually assulted by transgender people.

Wow. As someone who says she is a victimof abuse I cannot believe you are dismissing these other victims this way. Mind blowing. They are simply looking for protections to keep people who would abuse the law out of the locker rooms and we all know they are out there and they will.

I think she's speaking to you (from the article):

But already,Simon and the other victims feel their stories have fallen on deaf ears, and they’re being portrayed in the public as “fearmongers.”

“Over and over again, women are told your abuse is not important, it’s not important to fund, it’s not important to protect. This is just one more way for us to know that our abuse doesn’t matter, that we’re not protected,”
