    Preface: am not trans, but have thought about and read many things from transppl about everything going on in their heads bc its still sth i struggle with

    This will also vary based on the individual, and there’s probably at least one transperson out there that doesn’t care. But for those that do, I’d think it comes down to it being one more aspect where they’re put into a box they really don’t feel like they belong in. Something that on its own would likely not be a big deal, but if you’re already trying to 1) get away from everything your birth sex has confined you to and 2) try to feel as close to your actual gender as possible in every day life, it can make a difference.

    Really I’m just confused why bathrooms are gender seperated in the first place though, we have stalls for a reason?
