Is there a rule that men can't go into a stall and pee?
I’m a stealth trans man and use a stall. No one gives a shit. I’ve had “I have a medical condition and need a stall” prepped for years, but never has anyone even gave me a passing glance. It’s annoying to wait when I’m about to piss myself and someone is camping in the lone stall, but the only real rule of the men’s bathroom is “don’t acknowledge anyone’s presence.”
How would they even know if someone is pissing or shitting? And your last rule would prevent them from talking about it if they did determine that you sit to pee.
Exactly. The social situation of the men’s bathroom is such that anyone trying to confront someone about using a stall would automatically make them the weird one. I used to be self conscious that someone would notice difference in splashing sound, but realized that was stupid.
It’s funny, I remember in middle and high school going to the bathroom with groups of friends. It would be totally normal to be chatting, pass a pad or tampon under the stall. Unimaginable in a men’s restroom.
No, maybe, I don't know, if there is it's unspoken and unenforced because I've been doing it for years and no one ever complained to me.
Some people think they're saving a bunch of time by using a urinal over a toilet but honestly it's 5-6 seconds at most if you use it the same as you would a urinal, no sitting down, no pulling your pants all the way down, etc.
Blasphemy!
By the order of men I hereby banish you to the women toilets.
Do I need to dress feminine too?
There's a concept of a "shy guy" that isn't "confident enough" to pee comfortably at a urinal so it's not so much that you can't pee in a stall, it's that for those that are already concerned about the issue in the comic they'd be concerned about being thought of as a "shy guy" too.
I feel this comic so much that of all the things I've seen on the internet this really got a good laugh out of me. I know no one really cares about you peeing, but there's a part of me that thinks kind of like what is displayed here.
For me it was if there wasn't barricades I knew kids that used to try to slap their friends in the nuts while while they were peeing. Needless to say it only ends in more messes and needing to find new friend groups.
