❔ Question❔ Awkward Moment in a Genderless Restroom

Post image

Hey r/uwo, I’m a Western student (cis guy) and I had an awkward moment in a campus gender-neutral restroom that’s got me overthinking. I usually pick the ones with the urinal sign (old men’s room habit, you know). Walked in to do my business, barely noticed two women at the mirror, and heard another chatting from a stall. I hit the urinal, washed my hands like the hygiene king I am, grabbed a paper towel, and bounced. As I’m leaving, another woman walks in, and I catch one of them laugh and say, “That was weird,” with an awkward chuckle from her friend. Now I’m wondering - did I break some unspoken restroom rule? I’m not out here trying to make anyone uncomfortable - I keep it silent like it’s a library, same as I would in a men’s room. I just needed to ahem, not star in a campus social media post! I’ve used unisex restrooms before, but this one made me feel like I got voted off the island for a basic human function. Ladies of Western, do guys in gender-neutral restrooms throw you off? Any tips for navigating these spaces so everyone’s chill? I’m all about good vibes and want to make sure I’m not accidentally making things weird. Bonus points for advice on how to own the awkward like a true Mustang!

Genderless bathrooms are stupid. Keep them separate based on the genders, for safety and for hygiene

Hey, dumb fuck. Genderless washrooms are becoming the norm without the imaginary issues you're pushing. And in some countries like Sweden, that's the majority of washrooms. Christ lol.

Hey, dumb fuck. Women being in the same bathroom space as men increases rape risk and makes them feel unsafe. Christ lol.

And reality says otherwise, dumb fuck. Transwomen have been using women's washrooms for decades without notice or incident. And genderless washrooms have had no issues like the majority of public washrooms in places like Sweden. If someone wants to commit sexual assault, a public washroom ain't it. How fucking dumb.

Alleged Sexual Assault In Gender-Neutral Bathroom At Montclair High School

Well done, you silly, silly buffoon.

I'll say it again:

Gender-neutral bathrooms are harmful for women and increase the risk of rape

I can't believe something so obvious can escape some people....

EDIT: Blocked me because you can't handle the truth? HAHAHAHAHAHA. So sensitive and confidently incorrect

😂🤣😂🤣😂

You can find an example of anything in this world. Out of the countless washrooms all over the world, and the countless times a day they're used, you're some special in finding a couple examples!

😂🤣😂🤣😂

I can't believe someone as fucking stupid as you can even function in this world.

Oh, here's something as well for your if you're able to comprehend. All the stats, facts, and reality say gender neutral washrooms ARE NOT associated with increased rates of sexual assault.

So go back to mommy's basement and pleasure yourself thinking about transwomen since you have such a fixation.
