This is going to shock some people, but EVERYONE can use EVERY restroom and toilet right now. The only thing holding us back is outmoded social expectations.

I'm AFAB and no one has ever said anything when I went to the men's room. Got a lot of weird looks. The men's room is so quiet, save for the unabashed shitting going on in there. The ladies tend to wait until they're alone before they drop a deuce.
I'm AMAB, non-binary but decidedly male presenting, and I've received some comments but no direct confrontation for using individual restrooms labeled as "women's" at public parks. If there's a single occupancy men's room and an equally private, single occupancy room with an arbitrary "women's" designation, I'm going to use either.
It's worse in Japan. They had to install white noise generators because the women were wasting water by leaving faucets running while they did their business.

They what? (What country is this?)
That sounds like you'll never be able to go 😅
To be fair, I've not been in the ladies toilets (Australia), so can't really comment on the state of things there.
I will say one thing, the number of times I have to wipe down a seat with piss on it on the men's toilets is ridiculous. Fucking a lot dirty bastards out there, who honestly, I think have a screw loose.
I get the line is long for the ladies sometimes, but you're brave to venture to the men's based solely on how dirty it often is.
I’m Australian and I’ve cleaned toilets at a public venue before and in office buildings.
However bad the mens are I assure you the women’s toilets are worse.
Oh. No. This is not pleasant news at all haha
Not at the same time they can't!
Not yet.
You haven't seen shitfaced wine moms pile into single occupancy bathrooms before.
I think there's some people that will continue to have problems with using urinals. Maybe not, but probably...
Yeah… like me. And they were built with my anatomy in mind.
Urinals will never be real toilets to me because they don’t accommodate all forms of relieving one’s self.
I’m also not crazy about squat toilets, but that’s more of a personal preference.
(PS, I’ve seen people with vaginas use a urinal. It’s a neat trick, but it highlights how needlessly exclusive they are.)

I remember watching some kind of healthy sex show on HBO probably 20 - 25 years ago, and there was a segment about how the Germans had created this folding cardboard urinal tool for vaginas to easily pee at the urinal. I thought it was pretty rad back then, but I haven't kept up with if that thing still exists - due to a lack of personal need. I hope it does still exist. It needs more marketing. I've never seen a used cardboard personal piss-trough abandoned at any music festivals though so I think I'd likely be disappointed to hear the truth of the reality surrounding this.
There's a product called the shewee, same thing but it's plastic or silicone and reusable. My ex wanted one since she always had to pee and it made lots of road trips uncomfortable for her, she also had knee issues so squatting was difficult. She was so excited to try it out she peed with the toilet seat up that night.
Single person washrooms in Canada, are gender neutral. Even if you have a sign for a specified gender. And I don't think anyone cares which one you use, as long as your not entering it for a sexual/perverted reason.
Also, this is an onion post.
These conservatives who want trans people to use their birth assigned bathrooms, do they not realize there are muscular, bearded, manly trans men who are into women? How is that different than a big manly muscular dude who isn’t trans??
First big burly trans man who walks into the women’s room and they’re gonna freak out
They just want to manufacture excuses to persecute out-groups.
It's to make up for the lack of policy.
I don't think facts and logic enter into it. It's just emotion
And then you realize it's not about people using correct bathrooms but banning all trans people from all bathrooms.
Get mad at transwomen in women's bathrooms to distract from the senators and priests that are actually diddling the kids in the boy's bathroom.
trans men never enter the conversation. not because they don't realise, but because the bathrooms aren't the point.
She's kinda hot
She has the look of a mom who is also a sister, but also the sister of someone's mom.

Damn it Tori I need to poop, hurry up
Just replace the person symbol on the door with the letters WC - problem solved 🤓
And this isn't even their final form!
Religious perverts have screwed up everyone.
Now there’s people who are gay who hate themselves so they hate anyone who’s gay and not ashamed.
I imagine it’s the same about trans folks who have been groomed into a religion. They know they are in the wrong body but are conditioned to feel shame for how they were made.
I remember having to use the girls restroom on a grayhound bus:
I think its the same as the kids restroom, the old people's restroom, and the gay, lesbian, trans, queer, bisexual, Asexual and the restroom for fat big butt people from Kentucky. Its a weird feeling because when you're in there doing your business there's no one there with you. I though there would be at least someone asking me if I had a vagina or testicles. But no.
so shes an omnipresent trans.
