#school bathroom

It's really surprising as a transgender and disabled person when I'm talking to others and they don't really seem to know about the day-to-day struggles of just... existing? It's not surprising and I don't blame them, but I always forget that some people just have completely different experiences. Like for me, using my school bathrooms is a big deal, something to be avoided at all costs. I have to use the girl's restroom because there's only two gender neutral bathrooms in the school (first and second floors) and the second floor one has been locked since the third day of school because people vape in there. The first floor one is locked half the time too, and I don't feel safe using it because the air is usually unbreathable with smoke from vapes, and half the stalls are missing toilet seats or are occupied by people having sex or something. I'm more masculine than feminine but I present very fem, and I don't want to change that, but in a high school, I'm honestly just too afraid to use a men's restroom.

And as a disabled person, so many small, day-to-day things just become impossible for me. I have so many small rules and rituals for myself that I need just to do normal things, but I'm so used to it that I forget most people don't think twice about something that for me is all but impossible.

Whenever I notice these kinds of equity gaps, it always makes me wonder what I'm missing, because I am privileged in a lot of ways. It's something I try to think about in my day-to-day life.

the only good thing about school bathrooms is that you can cry and rage there after an entire day of neverending stress

So antisocial that I can't leave the bathroom stall after pissing because there's people in here now and if I leave they'll see me and they'll know I've pissed
