Houses are strange. We have bedrooms and bathrooms. Some people have a kitchen and a living room. Some have a dining room, and some don't. Some people combine the dining room with the kitchen, and others combine it with the living room. I think rich people have extra rooms, like a formal dining room. My first house didn't have a separate dining room; we just had a dining table in the kitchen.

Mashable: Bathroom scrolling linked to higher risk of hemorrhoids, study shows . “The research, published Wednesday in PLOS One, found an association between smartphone use on the toilet and a higher risk of hemorrhoids. … Prior to conducting the study, the researchers had anecdotal observations that toilet scrolling might contribute to hemorrhoids but no evidence linking the two.”

This is a must read. It's a very "friendly" takedown of a request for anti-trans bathroom policies at a Quaker Meeting House.
It may help you have a positive discussion with someone that might have similar views about trans bathroom rights.
Ruapehu College revokes policy to lock girls’ bathrooms after students, parents upset by move

So who needs *actual* public toilets?
Each study, no matter which city it was from, concluded that actual #PublicToilets are used overwhelmingly by:
- a #parent/ #caregiver with young #children (often using baby strollers)
- #elderly people
- #disabled people
- #unhoused people
… and since basically no one gives much of a rip about the last three on that list, ESPECIALLY unhoused people, there is little political will to ensure #accessible public #toilets are a priority.
A critical point made most clear by #Calgary's #yyc report (complete with maps and photos of site incidents!) is that #HumanWaste is a #biohazard #HazardousWaste, as human diseases can easily pass to others by #feces.
TL;DR: Alas, withholding development of #facilities and #services that would benefit all people in a community, including unhoused people, is a common policy program driven by political optics. And it stinks. 😡
I did a research paper some years' back wrt fearmongering by anti-#trans activists.
(At the time, much of that was coming out of the USA and being copied word-for-word by the same sort of activists in #Canada -- which was always surreal as not only was terminology NOT typical for Canadian usage, but the very laws themselves were absolutely NOT what were being claimed.)
In any case, I discovered through this that many Canadian cities had done #WashroomStudies wrt #PublicToilets.
They were a fascinating read: most folks think there are far more than in reality because the toilets they use when out and about are open to the public *in businesses*. Assuming they're not preventing unhoused people from access, they're still not avail 24/7.
Also: folks assume tourists need them, but generally tourists have the means to go to restaurants, etc and also use those toilets, plus they are housed at hotels, etc.

This is NOT the proper way to secure your child while you use the bathroom....

As a trans man, this is affecting us too. You hurt one, you hurt us all is my theory. Don’t get me wrong, I know that most trans women have it much worse when it comes to the “bathroom debate”, and they must feel a billion times more scared than I and many other trans guys who are in my position do, but we get affected too. Whether now or in the past. So we can relate, and I guarantee, we all have a story.

Found on Calishat Snaps: The Restroom Archive. From the About page: “What started as a joke in 2023 has become a years-long practice of 3D scanning the restrooms in restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, coffee shops, and various other spaces across the U.S. and Europe.”
The consequences of the UK Supreme Court ruling. I know why I put the UK on my black list of places NOT to visit for the time being. And I lived there for twelve years - before transitioning.
I'm non-binary and don't really have cis passing in any binary gender. In Spain, I'm using the women's bathroom and changing room at my gym without problems, not because I think that's where I fit, but because that's where I feel safer.
