One of the most disphoric feelings is not feeling confident/comfortable/safe enough to use a public restroom. I’ve struggled with it for a couple years now as I’m FTM, not started T yet but pass fairly well. I know a STP would help but 💰💰 any ideas?

If you pass fairly well, I vote you just do it with confidence! I used the men’s room long before starting T and never had any problems- I could pass except for my voice, so I usually just avoided talking.

Could try minoxidil on your eyebrows to make them thicker, or color them darker. That and working out are pretty easy ways

As far as stall vs urinal, I heard a cis guy talk about how he likes to pee sitting down because it’s a nice break and he gets to play on his phone, and since then, I’m like “yeah, it’s just nice to sit sometimes 💁‍♂️” (mostly just saying that mentally lol because no one has ever said anything)

Of course!! Most guys just get in, keep their heads down, and get out. They probably won’t even notice you half the time! But mentally prepare yourself for the number of guys who don’t wash their hands 🤢 it was a horror I wasn’t prepared for lol
