I agree. Even besides bathrooms, I've just become more cautious and, bad as I hate to admit it, I've been reluctant to go out. In 40 years of going out I've never felt quite this way, and I don't think it's just me being paranoid. It's been months since I've used a ladies room and I'm not looking forward to when it's unavoidable. I stop at Walmart and use the family restroom at the back of the store. I know a few convenience stores that have single user restrooms. And, yes, I carry a big cup in the car. Haven't had to use it, but the time will come.

I think I'm so uptight about using the ladies room now that my body just is keeping me from having to go as much. I'm not kidding about that! I'm not liking this era of trans visibility. I preferred invisibility! I do not feel empowered. I feel like I'm eliciting a "There's one!" response now, even though I've never actually seen or heard that reaction. I do see some raised eyebrows.

BTW, Great to see Kim back!!!
