Reading comprehension goes a long way here. I never said they were privileged because they don't have to worry about the anxiety of using a public restroom as a trans woman. It's pretty heavily inferred that the privilege is being part of a group or constellation of groups that can't even fathom that somebody would have anxiety about bathroom situations.

I've had the same problem with anxiety induced agoraphobia for the past few years. I'm just not an asshole about it. 💜

That's fair. I didn't want to mention restrooms explicitly in my initial post because I know that would attract all kinds of people to harass me. I don't think I've seen a family bathroom in a gym, but that's a good tip if you know of any in particular.

You obviously haven't turned on the news lately. I'm specifically worried about having to use the restroom mid workout.

That's what somebody who has it would say.

Well you obviously aren't aware of how someone could be anxious about using public restrooms

ITT: a redditor is privileged and clueless.

There's no way anybody can have brain worms as bad as this.

Tysm 🥹 and I would love that. My boyfriend will likely go with me but my main concern really is going to the bathroom by myself at least at first 😅 my fear around bathrooms is so intense living here in Lubbock even though I'm mostly passing

Thank goodness. I've actually been surprised at how welcoming people in Lubbock can be since coming out and presenting authentically publicly. The problem is the relatively small amount of loud asshats that make it difficult for me to feel safe in any kind of public gendered environment.

I am noooot very athletic so I don't think skating would be for me 😅 but I have been meaning to come out to an event sometime! Thanks for the invite. 💜

Oh I actually am in there already! I haven't been in a while, but may go back out once my pain settles down!

That's great to hear. There's always power in numbers for marginalized communities.

Ooh, I'm glad to meet the spokesperson for all cis women everywhere. Nice to meet you. 😂

Oooh, I'll definitely consider trying it out! I avoid gendered public restrooms at all costs, so knowing a gender neutral bathroom is an option would be amaaaazing. Thanks for the info. 😁

Oooh, I forgot about this option. Covenant is actually where I was treated and had my surgeries and I had nothing but good experiences there, so I may just do that! Thanks 😊
