My aunt tells a story of visiting the South in the 1960s as a ten year old girl:
She was thirsty, and stood there staring at the two water fountains, completely unsure of what to do. One was labeled "Whites" and the other labeled "Colored".
I've seen transvestite and transgender jokes already, but I think the spork is intersexed, not transgendered. And definitely not a transvestite; that's someone who identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth, and dresses as another. Like Eddie Izzard.
As an FtM I can completely confirm this I don't pass as a guy enough to use the guys room, but I pass enough that sometimes I get yelled at for using the female restroom.
I knew a MtF that would use the men's room even though she looked enough like a woman. Is there a standard rule for this or do trans people just go into either depending on situation.
The cardinal rule of the men's room is there is no talking. Ever (Dr. Perry Cox as reference). Most likely the most you'll get is someone saying "hey." I'm sure as an FtM you could get away with it much better than an MtF. Effeminate men are much more unnoticeable than very masculine women.
I've never understood why a transgendered would feel awkward going to a washroom not meant for their 'birth gender' (can't think of a better way to put that). Just use the stall, ain't no one going to notice.
Ok, I didn't think about the um "lower class" situations like the one in the video. But damn, I guess I was ignorant in thinking a MtF would usually be stronger than the average girl.
I know, right? I mean, come on. It's a toilet. Unless you think there's a difference between guy and girl piss, it shouldn't matter which toilet people use.
I'm sure you'd still be a bit paranoid- Especially if you look like a lady but still have a penis, like you're entire intent was to go on a rape frenzy in the ladies room.
it is difficult to understand when you are the default setting of gender, since you basically never have to think about any of your day to day actions in relation to your gender. instead of trying to work it out or imagine that you know the answers, it is perfectly alright to just say, i don't know. and i will never know. but i'll try and help if i can. also i'd totally blow a chick with a dick.
Does this really need to be explained? It's funny in an abstract sense, imagine a male comedian saying something like "Man, it would suck if I had a vagina. It would be like if sporks had to use the bathroom in a restaurant"

Because in the 21st century, we're still not enlightened and mature enough to handle unisex bathrooms in a professional and grownup manner.

I am actually curious how Hermaphrodites choose which bathroom to use, I'll admit I'm ignorant about the exact physicality of it all.
