I used to clean women’s restrooms when I was pre-transition / living as a boy / man, and I think that really helped reduce my stigma and fear of being in women’s restrooms.
When I was visibly trans, I just made sure to use the restroom with other, supportive women - going in groups created a sense of protection.
Best thing to do in my opinion is to remember the purpose of bathrooms and have confidence in just walking in.
If it helps, when I used to be a cis guy I actually applied makeup in front of the public bathroom mirrors. I tried to use the least occupied washrooms at first but gradually as the Mondays rolled I just gave less of a fuck and it just became routine at that point.
I started using the more populated washrooms out of a rush for time. At first I was worried that I’d be gawked at but honestly no one bothered looking even while I was applying my foundation. Since everyone was probably just as busy as I was, no one bothered me at all.
So nowadays as an out enby, I just use whatever is convenient to apply my makeup, turns out no one has the time to give a damn and that works perfectly for me and other people like yall here🤗
Thank goodness for family bathrooms.
Almost 5 years in and still yep.
Look at that… a comic trans women and bigoted cis women can both enjoy.
Where do you find these comics? I tried xcancel and tumblr but brooke2valley seemed to have stopped uploading last december.
Is she still doing new comics and I missed them or are they from the archives?
She still posts on Reddit. I pretty sure she’s always been primarily a Reddit creature
She should consider switching to Piefed, away from Big Tech…
does she know about piefed or lemmy?
I feel like the main online trans communities are still on reddit - not really sure why they haven’t moved off reddit, tbh
Yeah, when r/traaa had to close someone made r/traaa2
do you know why /r/traaa closed?
Because forced people to pay horrendous prices for their 3rd party API which led to most independent apps and the mod tools the r/traaa mods relied on to not be viable anymore. This caused a massive protest and exodus which led to a big rise in other plattforms like Lemmy :3
oh, ok - I didn’t know that, thanks!
At least she’s ryin’ G, fr
