  • But it may be something to work towards to, isn’t it? Or at least get rid of these societal taboos?

    Where I live and grew up (Germany), there isn’t that much of a taboo on nudity. I liked showering in my gym for example where there is only a shared (gendered) shower. Since starting my transition I wouldn’t feel welcome in any gendered shared public shower however. I would really like to stop hiding my body but instead feel more included among cis people. One day I hope…

    I still prefer going swimming naked (if there are not too many people around) because it avoids gendered swim wear. At most lakes in Germany you can find people going swimming naked or with swim wear. Just coexisting :)







  • The Y axis is throwing me off a bit. If the X axis already shows the amount of protein per mass, why would you also couple the Y axis to the amount of protein? So all the products low on the X axis automatically increase along the Y axis. For example, the vegetables are probably that costly in this graph because they have a low protein content, not because they are necessarily that expensive.





  • As a trans woman I never liked public bathrooms before transitioning. I’ve rarely ever used urinals and peeing while standing seems always messier, even if outdoors. In a toilet stall where you can sit, you can always also use toilet paper. (And especially with a penis you don’t have to sit down completely, you can squat over the seat of it is too dirty.) When peeing while standing don’t you all get a bit of pee in your underpants?? And people who pee standing while on a toilet with a seat (be it at home or visiting someone) are just disgusting. And I don’t know any fellow Germans who stand while peeing at home. One generation up it was still very different. I guess this is one of the outcomes of feminism that taught cis men to be responsible for their own mess. If you never had to clean your urine of the toilet or floor you had hardly any incentive to pay attention. Glad this has somewhat changed.
