IS TRANSQUAT A THING ANYMORE?
BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT TO COME UP ON ITUNES.
HELP.
bathroom usage
(Key here - we're trying to work out how to get asks and submits visible to all the mods! So unless things change, they'll be answered in text posts like this if I answer them.)

So i just came out as gender-fluid but most of my town knows me as a girl and im wondering how to decide which bathroom to use should i use the one that im feeling as that day or should i use the one that is specific to my cis gender?
Hi anon! This is a tricky question and one that affects a lot of trans* people (and even cis people who simply don’t look like the gender they are, to a lesser extent). My answer would simply be…it depends whether you’re safe.
There are some cities where people can feel absolutely comfortable walking into a bathroom designated for a different gender than their appearance would suggest they are. Those are few and far between. Auckland, where I am, is pretty tolerant and I still wouldn’t attempt that in many places. Now, some days I just can’t use my assigned bathroom, because of dysphoria, but it’s not safe for me to enter the other one. And it’s hard!
It really comes down to whether you’re okay with the consequences either way, and each trans* person will have their own way of dealing with this common tricky situation. Maybe you’re okay with getting confronted at school/work by peers, or risk getting in trouble with authorities. Maybe you live in a place where the possibility of sexual assault is high if you do something like that. (I attended a school where that was definitely the case.) Maybe you’ve weighed all this up and you still feel strongly that you just can’t not be true to yourself, either because it feels wrong or because you feel like people wouldn’t take your gender identity seriously otherwise, but you don’t want to get hurt. (I hope you don’t! We like you alive!)
There’s a few alternatives. Outdoor places like parks often have gender-neutral bathrooms. If not, larger indoor places tend to have handicapped bathrooms or other small neutral bathroom (say, with a baby-changing booth), and smaller places sometimes don’t have segregated bathrooms at all. Get to know the buildings around the ones you use, and see if there’s any bathrooms in those which fit the bill, if it’s worth a little walking! A quick Google search suggests there is more than one app which helps people find safe gender-neutral bathrooms, including TranSquat. If you have a compatible device, those might be worth trying!
And also - be careful. If you think there’s a chance of a nasty confrontation, make sure you’ve got some kind of exit plan. It’s awful that that even has to be considered, and it’s not ever your fault if something happens and you don’t have a plan, but it’s best if you do. Do let us know how you go, and I’m wishing you well!

Found a gender neutral restroom in Belgrade, Montana at a local pizza shop. Surprise! I got to add something to TranSquat today! :D
