"Although I guess some people won't agree with my logic...... I only dress for sex... I don't CD in public, But at swingers clubs when I CD, I only expect to use the male toilets...... after-all why wouldn't I..... I'm still a bloke....

"Don't really care if TV's or blokes use the ladies loos...as long as they don't pee on the seat. I never understand why some people get up in arms about it....most people either have only one toilet at home or if they have multiple toilets they don't make them gender specific. Lots of places abroad have unisex toilets. I certainly have used the cubicle in a gent's toilet when there has been a queue at the ladies " i remember as a 14 yr old lad goimg into the toilets on the docks in calais. i was stood having a piss when i heard womens voices behind me. i turned around to find 4 young ladies all about 20 may i add..... the pee stopped and a instant boner appeared lol | |||

"I'm not bothered generally especially in swinging clubs and 'friendly' pubs, however I can understand why some people would be bothered in some public places. If you live as a woman, dress like a woman and feel like a woman... womens loos it is. The dodgy ground is men who dress as women from time to time. Nothing against CD's and what I am about to say is not aimed at them at all, but what is to stop some perve putting on a bit of lippy so they can hang around in women's public toilets....... where the children are. The d*unken stag do has already been mentioned. A man in a frock is still a man at the end of the day. I do have every empathy that sometimes it is just less hassle for a CD to use the ladies....... but I am also concerned over the implications of other people taking advantage of tollerance. " | |||

"No matter what clothing a person wears, if they still have male genatalia then they should use the male conveniences. There are cubicles for privacy so there shouldn't be a problem. " I was in a gay club when I needed the loo. Big queue at the ladies, so I nipped into the cubicles in the gents. Was washing my hands when two guys came in. They gave me dog's abuse. Only time I've used the gents;; only time I've had hassle. I'll stick to the ladies next time. | |||

" we always use the ladies toilets as is our legal right under the equal rights/sex discrimination act now combined, if we are in public presenting as female then we are entitled to use the facilities that have been set aside for females, however, like any facility it is entirely at the managements discretion who they allow to use them, xxx " I don't think that's true for transvestites, who have no rights in law. People under diagnosis by their GP do have rights. | |||

"Hi All, Just wondering if we can get a general opinion of which Toilet a CD/TV should use when out in public?" learnt this week that main MOD (and therefore possibly other civil service facilities) do have Transgender facilities - as both the men AND the women were uncomfortable them being in the area at same time | |||

"Hi All, Just wondering if we can get a general opinion of which Toilet a CD/TV should use when out in public? How many of you have an opinion or would be offended? Please take the time to answer this one. I really am interested. Frankie" Dressed...in the toilet of the gender they are dressed as... Never been offended, and would defend the right of any tv/cd/ts against anyone whose hang ups caused them to claim offence. | |||

"This thread as been really interesting..what we need is gender neutral toilets...this would solve a few problems, but i suspect a few would object works in france." Years ago went to belgium beer festival , first time went to the toilet worked out which was which by watching who went in where then went in the ladies door only to be met by a mixture of male and female. Did make me giggle. | |||

"yes it's true sara, we can't be discriminated against, how many people here have used disabled toilets even though they are clearly not disabled??? The view that "men" who linger in "female" toilets are doing it for sexual kicks is quite abhorrent to me and entirely alien, none of my friends do it to wait in one of the cubicles for a child to come in so we can molest them, how sad that even today we are seeing this kind of neanderthal thinking" as a parent and probably speak for many others, i would not want a man, regardless of how he wishes to dress in the same toilet as my young daughter. That's also a subject i should not have to speak about to a young child and explain about - when such an unconvincing cd decides to use a female toilet. not having a go to anyone but its my opinion. x | |||

" was not aiming the accusations at you hun, just was shocked at your news, x " noted, but you stated that you thought the swinging community would be more tolerant = yet my post was about the vanilla world , but which I thought was relevant to this discussion ... it made no assumption that any swingers - TV friendly or not - were complicit to that (if true*) policy * fact they HAVE transgender loo's, UNCONFIRMED its because other employee's uncomfortable | |||

"why wouldn't you feel comfortable was my question??? what is it you think we are doing???, I don't understand why you think it is wrong for any person to be in the same room as you and your daughter??? I don't ride horses by the way." i don't agree with a male in the same room as my daughter when she needs to go to the toilet. 'same room' also wasn't in question. there's a difference in rooms too. i also shouldn't have to explain your decision to a young girl! I didn't say you rode horses either! Why are you still talking to me anyway if im so sad and ill informed?!! Its my opinion and im entitled to it! | |||

" first of all i will say that i do apretiate your point of vew one thing i will point out is that you havnt realy thought of the CD/TV it should not mater if they are convincing or not it should mater if they feel safe. i live two lives; at work im a man and know full well that i would get abuse from my work mates if they knew i was bi and can only imagine wot would happen if they found out that i cross dress, when i finaly had the guts to where a dress to go to the shops i had alot of bause when i used the mens loo as such if im out in a club i will only ever use the womens unless its my local and i know im safe there. so next time you wont to say someting please think twice | |||

Whichever side of the arguement someone is on, to have the view of "I don't do it so it's alright and fuck everyone else" (in so many words) is a bit narrow minded to say the least. The thread, unless I read it wrong, was not just about pubs and clubs, but about public toilets generally. It wasn't just about transgender, it's about TV's, CD's and pretty much any bloke in a frock. I can understand why an awful lot of society would be concerned if it was common practice for men, after a dab of No7 and a trip to Dorothy Perkins, to be allowed free access to any ladies public toilet.... can't you? | |||

So if i was taking my son into the toilet would you feel uncomfortable, after all he had male gentials? At what age does your discomfort become apparent...and can you in any way differentiate it from prejudice? here is a suggestion, you say to your daughter some people like to dress in certain ways, the way i explained transvestism to my boys when they watched american idol, you know what...kids are far less bigoted and prejudiced than you... For other parents who want open minded, happy kids may i suggest "the boy who went to school in a dress" by david walliams...my eldests book report on it was printed in the TES and is part of anti bullying week now... The great thing about talking to your kids is they learn | |||

The only saving grace is it tends to happen when the men are pissed too. Aside from that, it's highly unlikey anyone would take a man's complaint seriously......... which also pisses me off. If some ugly old perve of a man came into a womans toilet to cop an eyefull of minge all hell would break lose... yet men are expected to put up and shut up when some pissed hag wants to wander past men having a piss. | |||

"I'm not bothered generally especially in swinging clubs and 'friendly' pubs, however I can understand why some people would be bothered in some public places. If you live as a woman, dress like a woman and feel like a woman... womens loos it is. The dodgy ground is men who dress as women from time to time. Nothing against CD's and what I am about to say is not aimed at them at all, but what is to stop some perve putting on a bit of lippy so they can hang around in women's public toilets....... where the children are. The d*unken stag do has already been mentioned. A man in a frock is still a man at the end of the day. I do have every empathy that sometimes it is just less hassle for a CD to use the ladies....... but I am also concerned over the implications of other people taking advantage of tollerance. agree with this seriously how often is this likely to happen....in my opinion far less than pissed women use the mens without any complaint" If we are talking pubs and clubs at night, then there is no problem. Yes i have went to the men toilets when out clubbing and desperate for a pee and the queue in the womens is a mile long. | |||

"yes it's true sara, we can't be discriminated against, how many people here have used disabled toilets even though they are clearly not disabled??? The view that "men" who linger in "female" toilets are doing it for sexual kicks is quite abhorrent to me and entirely alien, none of my friends do it to wait in one of the cubicles for a child to come in so we can molest them, how sad that even today we are seeing this kind of neanderthal thinking Is that other people's thinking or yours? Whichever side of the arguement someone is on, to have the view of "I don't do it so it's alright and fuck everyone else" (in so many words) is a bit narrow minded to say the least. The thread, unless I read it wrong, was not just about pubs and clubs, but about public toilets generally. It wasn't just about transgender, it's about TV's, CD's and pretty much any bloke in a frock. I can understand why an awful lot of society would be concerned if it was common practice for men, after a dab of No7 and a trip to Dorothy Perkins, to be allowed free access to any ladies public toilet.... can't you? yes, doesnt make it right though...you go to toilets to piss and shit...does the gender of the other people there really matter? In our society... yes it does. It's the reason there are male and female toilets. Toilets until the 19th century were unisex...our society is not a great reason to defend an idea based on female weakness and the fact us delicate little flowers might faint if we saw male genitalia. Which in cubicles wouldnt happen anyway" I for one dont think it has anything to do with "A being a delicate little flower" I have 2 girls and when they where growing up I for one didnt want them to be open to anything that i thought was innapropiae for their age, wether it be tv/ts to the male genitalia in general. And yes I do think it can be open to abuse from the SMALL majority. As a parent I will do anything to protect my chldren. | |||

"My presumption was that is a TV/TS/CD or whatever were to walk into a gents toilet (which I very much doubt they would, if they were wearing a dress) they would be unlikely to hoik back the gusset and use the trough..... Is the embarrasment about explaining what a TV/TS/CD (or whatever) is? If so, that would be a situation anywhere..... And yes, I do have a little boy. I would explain to him that there are many strange and wonderful things in heaven and on earth, not everything meets the eye. I used to laugh as TV/TS/CD's, one used to regularly walk into the supermarket on a Saturday morning (the dresses were fairly convincing, but the fact that he seemed to lazy to shave gave the game away), but having worked in the Civil Service and sharing my cigarette breaks with 'a person of mixed sexuality' got me used to him/her as a person and now it's water off a ducks back. Were people as worried about explaining questions of race, religion or ethnicity 30 years ago?" So does it matter now then ? | |||

"This thread as been really interesting..what we need is gender neutral toilets...this would solve a few problems, but i suspect a few would object works in france." In France the toilets are still females and males, unless in some bars or restaurants where there is only one toilet..even in swingers clubs so I don't know whee you get this information from. | |||

In this situation every user of the loos rights should be considered. In an adult venue (pub, night club, swingers club) then by all means use the facilities you feel most comfortable in. But in non-adult venues (shopping centres, hospitals, leisure centres) surely the disabled facilities being gender neutral are the way to go to avoid embarrassment and confrontations. | |||

" If society were to compromise for the self interest of a few selfish individual who feel their "rights" out-weigh the "rights" of all those women and children who might feel intimidated by their behaviour and actions. We could easily arrive with another situation where defending of rights of people intent on wrong doing bite us firmly on the arse again,,, For example with so much androgynous clothing available these days….!. What’s to stop any bloke caught perving in female loo’s claiming he’s a crossdresser simply by proving his style of clothes are unisex…… Oh and perhaps guys who get their jollies wearing women’s undies beneath their male attire can also legitimately claim to be crossdressers and rightfully lobe their cocks out in public toilets where previously only women or young girls where allowed to enter . Eh? ……… Duh. Silly me……. Hey I know what !!!, all we need to do, is employ bold signage at the entrance of all public loo’s detailing a strict dress code that doesn’t allow for any ambiguity on the style of clothing worn by wouldbe entrants...... Oo'er and perhaps a magic soul searching mirror that will only allow harmless convincing trannies to enter ! ………. Or perhaps a it would just be easier to hang a sign saying “fuck the rights of women and children who object!!!” FFS……Hey not every tranny wears flowery skirts and pounces around reeking of Lily in the Valley claiming “I’m a lady”…… " Dont sit on the fence ...tell us what you really think .. | |||

Sara I haven't said the quote you accused me of so please don't put words into my mouth. Legally you have to live as a woman before you get the diagnosis and subsequent help from the medical establishment if you are transgender so how do these people in the half way house fare??? Most of my transgender friends avoid public toilets if we are out in everyday life during the days. I don't stand in the ladies shouting, I go in to urinate, fix my make up and get out of there to join my friends having fun again, so please don't assume anything else about me. I haven't seen anyone write any remarks about herm_phrodites of whom i know 2 personally where are these people supposed to go to relieve themselves??? | |||

Kids are born openminded and tolerant. If the child sees a man in a dress they are not likely to notice, if they do, then the simple reply of he likes wearing dresses works. Unless of course you have already brought them up to have hang ups about gender roles. | |||

"Hi All, Just wondering if we can get a general opinion of which Toilet a CD/TV should use when out in public? How many of you have an opinion or would be offended? " I wouldn't dream of saying what I think someone else "should" or "shouldn't" do. Personally, I wouldn't be at all offended if a CD/TV used the ladies, and my opinion is that CDs/TVs should feel free to use whichever loos they feel most comfortable with at the time. Admittedly, it is easier to be open-minded in pubs/nightclubs/swingers clubs than it is in public places where children are present (I guess the local swimming pool is a nightmare!) But all the CDs/TVs I have met have been charming and respectful people, and I trust them to be discreet and go as far as possible to avoid causing any upset to members of the public | |||

"Hi All, Just wondering if we can get a general opinion of which Toilet a CD/TV should use when out in public? How many of you have an opinion or would be offended? Please take the time to answer this one. I really am interested. Frankie" Crikey this has gotten more heated than I would have expected! Personally, I would have no issues with whoever choses to use which toilets so long as they leave me to do my business in my cubicle in peace!! I can understand why a TV/TS/CD would feel safer, or just more comfortable, in the ladies than the gents. However, I can understand the concerns of having people taking advantage of that where children are concerned. In reality I think this would be a minimal risk, and to some extent would question allowing a young child to go to the toilet alone in a public place where the situation could be taken advantage of. I don't have children, but I do have a young niece and I would take her to the toilet in a public place not let her go alone...although I guess as she gets older this will change. I do think that the embarrassment of explaining why some men wear dresses is more on the parents side than the childs. Children are curious and will ask questions, but making a 'fuss' over such a situation will only make a child think that something is wrong, when it isn't. If the parent can accept that there is nothing wrong with being a TV/TS/CD then a child will accept that this is ok...maybe not 'the norm' (whatever that is!), but nothing to point and stare for. They would just accept it and carry on. I do think there is a double standard when women use the gents, but guys can't use the ladies...but that seems to be the case with so many things. Equality should be just that and it does irritate me when some women do things a man would get grief for, or even kicked out of a pub for. I do think having unisex toilets where everyone uses a cubicle and so no genitals are on 'public' display at any point would save a lot of issues, both on the gender front, but also for the single dads with young daughters who must have a similar dilemma when they're out and about but that's not going to happen anytime soon! Not sure about using the disabled loo though. I know that solves the gender issue, but then what about the poor guy in a wheelchair with his legs crossed whilst waiting for someone to fix their hair and make up! x | |||

They may say what they think you'll want to hear, but I'm sure you'd tell from the tone what their true feelings were. Just explain that you don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but when nature calls you need to know where they would prefer you to answer that call. You never know, they may be surprised you have been using the gents but have just not known how to bring it up without causing offence x | |||

"Surely it depends. An individual who is cross-dressing as part of a gender transition is a totally different situation to someone who is cross-dressing as part of a sexual fetish. I would feel distinctly uncomfortable if one of the latter individuals were to enter a public loo designated for female use, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. I'm also sure it depends entirely on the situation. In a nightclub, pub, or other 'adult' situation then yes, we are all grown-ups, and we understand that actually a trans-gender individual awaiting surgery is, as much as is possible, their chosen gender rather than the one they were born with. In a shopping centre toilet with my 3 year old cousin though, I would feel extremely uncomfortable having to explain why "That man's wearing a dress!" (I use this as an example as I would not be in a gents' toilet. However, I would imagine "Why is that lady wearing a pretend beard?" would be an equally awkward situation). While I sympathise with how difficult life must be for those undergoing gender reassignment it would be impossible to make a distinction between genuine transgender individuals and those who cross-dress as a sexual fetish, in the context of public bathroom usage." You've hit the nail on the head! Its been bugging me all day why I feel as I do about this - I have no problems with transgender use of appropriate loos, but I do have an issue in a non-adult venue when its a cd or tv. Its the being inadvertently part of someone elses sex life. I enjoy the odd bit (sometimes very odd) bit of outdoor fun, but I take every care that I will not be discovered by children, families or other people who might be disturbed or offended by it. My sexual preferences and fetishes would disturb a lot of people, if I was walked in on during some of them my partner could even be arrested for some of the activities until it was made clear just how consensual it is. My belief has always been that sexual activity should only take place between consenting adults; ie you must be capable of informed consent, legally old enough and not incapacitated (d*unk, drugged etc) and psychologically capable of that consent.This is the line as far as I am concerned that should not be crossed. But once informed consent has taken place everything is simply variety. So (gee I'm getting longwinded in my old age) if the cross dressing is part of a lifestyle choice then yes, use the loos appropriate to your situation, but if it is a sexual behaviour then keep it to the disabled/non gender specific loos unless you're in a venue where the other users are adults. | |||

In a nightclub, pub, or other 'adult' situation then yes, we are all grown-ups, and we understand that actually a trans-gender individual awaiting surgery is, as much as is possible, their chosen gender rather than the one they were born with. In a shopping centre toilet with my 3 year old cousin though, I would feel extremely uncomfortable having to explain why "That man's wearing a dress!" (I use this as an example as I would not be in a gents' toilet. However, I would imagine "Why is that lady wearing a pretend beard?" would be an equally awkward situation). While I sympathise with how difficult life must be for those undergoing gender reassignment it would be impossible to make a distinction between genuine transgender individuals and those who cross-dress as a sexual fetish, in the context of public bathroom usage. You've hit the nail on the head! Its been bugging me all day why I feel as I do about this - I have no problems with transgender use of appropriate loos, but I do have an issue in a non-adult venue when its a cd or tv. Its the being inadvertently part of someone elses sex life. I enjoy the odd bit (sometimes very odd) bit of outdoor fun, but I take every care that I will not be discovered by children, families or other people who might be disturbed or offended by it. My sexual preferences and fetishes would disturb a lot of people, if I was walked in on during some of them my partner could even be arrested for some of the activities until it was made clear just how consensual it is. My belief has always been that sexual activity should only take place between consenting adults; ie you must be capable of informed consent, legally old enough and not incapacitated (d*unk, drugged etc) and psychologically capable of that consent.This is the line as far as I am concerned that should not be crossed. But once informed consent has taken place everything is simply variety. So (gee I'm getting longwinded in my old age) if the cross dressing is part of a lifestyle choice then yes, use the loos appropriate to your situation, but if it is a sexual behaviour then keep it to the disabled/non gender specific loos unless you're in a venue where the other users are adults. " I didn't know anyone had included men/women who were cross dressing and visiting loos for sexual purposes into the discussion. Generally I thought this was about using the loo for toileting needs, rather than sexual purposes. I have never heard of any male cross dressing and visiting a female loo to have sexual contact with women, ever, so thoughts of these issues are likely to be fantasy, dare I say it. The French loos are often multi-gender, so it gets around all of the permutations. | |||

"Surely it depends. An individual who is cross-dressing as part of a gender transition is a totally different situation to someone who is cross-dressing as part of a sexual fetish.

" I am also slightly confused as to how this subject has moved to sex! For those who are not sure what a TV is all about... Going out in public as a female (in my case) and probably for many others is purely because i like looking feminine and feel much more a confident person. For me personally, Dressing has nothing to do with sex. Am I the only one? | |||

" Many dictionary definitions of the word "Transvestite" follow the line of:- “a person who adopts the dress and often the behaviour typical of the opposite gender especially for purposes of emotional or sexual gratification” Hey....I'm a CD who only does it for sexual kicks, and the more I learn about the trials and tribulation of those people who do for emotional reasons,,,, the more I count my blessing!!! | |||

My point was that for some individuals the act of cross dressing itself is a sexual one. Someone for whom cross dressing is a sexual activity, which elicits sexual gratification or arousal, should not expect to use the public toilets of the opposite sex. In my opinion, that is. | |||

"In my opinion you should only use what gender toilets you were born with, for that is what you are. I know some say it depends on how convincing they are, but from what I have seen I don't think I have seen one single CD\TV on here or out and about that I could ever mistake for being a woman. Bangkok Ladyboys yeah, Dave in a dress and blue eye shadow... no!" I was borng geneticaly male but feel like i should of been female and DO feel right in a dress. I dont think you realy know witch end you are talking from espetialy the coment about ladyboys in my opinion they are the luky onrs that were born in a contry that not only exepts trans gender but exploits it. serving with the british army i know it is still ridiculed and i would never admit my sexuality yet alone my transgender to any of my work mates as i would be the subject of jokes and ridicule. also i have been thretened when i used the male loo in a shoping center because i was in a dress so feel safer using the female and disabled loo when out in public. xx | |||
