bitching under the cut
i had to move my office due to construction and i'm mostly very happy with my new space except for the Bathroom Situation. in my old office i had a single stall bathroom like twenty feet from my desk, super convenient, but with the construction there are only gendered bathrooms, and with how i present in public these days - not to mention the amount of contractors in the building who are total strangers to me - i don't feel safe using the men's, and i actually have to walk PAST the men's bathroom to use the women's. i'll also have to share it with students when they come back in the fall :/
and if that weren't bad enough, the other day i went to use the bathroom and a colleague who was in one of the stalls heard me enter and went "WHO'S IN HERE?" and i, startled, went "um, hi?" and she went "hi, i still don't know who you are?" so i said my name, and just, what the actual fuck, why would you flip out like that, it was so bizarre and it's made me so much more anxious to use a bathroom i already don't fucking want to use.
