Ron, bet you don't have a row of cubicles in your house. I'm guessing your guests use your toilet in privacy.

Divebuddy's post. I'm not sure mikey's or yours were there when I started posting.

[naomi24]

I understood the last bit of divebuddy's post. What's not to understand?

[jim360]

Perhaps in retrospect the thing that confused me about it was that I'd been trying to avoid making the distinction myself, so was surprised that divebuddy thought I was going to.

[naomi24]

Jim, Why avoid making the distinction? If men dressed as women were allowed to use female toilets, the ladies might be wise to make the distinction. How they'd do it though is another question.

[naomi24]

^Exactly.

///But how could you know whether they were genuine types or just pervs in women's clothes?///

Why would it matter?

You're 'spending a penny'......S/he's 'spending a penny'.....in a private cubicle..

[naomi24]

jackthehat, It would matter to me if 'she' was a perv. Hopefully I'm capable of looking after myself, but what about little girls - or little boys - using the Ladies? Not a lot of thought gone into that one, Jack!

[jackthehat]

I didn't realise that in these dangerous times, little boys and little girls still went into the toilets unaccompanied....

[i]Please don't tell me that crossdressers and transgenders are totally different, as far as using the "wrong" toilet, they aren't.[i]

They are fundamentally different, because a transgender woman is not going to be able to use a urinal.

Cross dressers however can - because they have penises.*










(*To clarify - they have one each).

[naomi24]

Now you know.

[naomi24]

^That was to jackthehat.

[sp1814]

As for transgender men - I can't comment, because I'm not sure of the details of the reassignment surgery.

Surely they would be on a hiding to nothing?

What on earth would a man get out of being in a woman's loo?

They have cubicles, and no urinals...so it's not like they can ogle anything.

At the very most, the only thing that men will 'enjoy' in women's toilets are the sounds of women going to the loo, and the sight of women washing their hands, and possibly reapplying lipstick.

I am thinking that the demographic of men who actually want to experience that for some kind of sexual thrill is very, very, very, very small.

[sp1814]

And coupled with that small demographic, the number of men who would actually go out and buy a complete set of women's clothes in order to satisfy this particular sexual need must be infantisamlly small.

Just getting women's shoes in men's sizes must be difficult.

And how many men can walk in heels?

And how many blokes know whether to match the shoes to the bag, or the bag to the outfit?

It would be a nightmare...

Read through it all. I just need to know when I'm talking to Arthur or Martha.
