The mens' room is like a dank, creepy cave. You will not want to touch anything that has touched >1 foot from the floor. The stalls all have pee on the seats (also, various diseases), and unflushed poop in the bowl.
This is the main reason why I miss the girls' room. Why is it that ladypee doesn't get everywhere? If you can control your spray, then you can keep it from the walls!
Ahem. Sorry.
I picked my name, Cai, from a list of Welsh male names (why Welsh? I really don't know). I chose it because it comes from Latin, and I am a nerd. Also, Sir Cai was one of the knights of the round table [we dance when we're able], and as I said above, I am a nerd- an Arthurian nerd!
Plus, to go from Katie to Cai (and to request teachers call me Cai instead of Kathryn) is simpler than to go from Katie to Alexander the Great (for example).
I identify as a femme genderqueer FTM. I'm not fully male, but I am a boy, but I'm also girlish. I didn't quite figure this out until six months ago, after wondering for about one year and subconsciously thinking for several previous years.
My world view! It's...it's...changing! I try as hard as I might not to think about dirty bathrooms. Every night I am haunted by them; unflushed stalls that will never be cleaned, locked up within my janitorless brain.
I remember there was a study that showed there were more bacteria on the bottom of a girl's purse than on the handle of the bathroom stall (because the purse's bottom had rested on the floor).
At my school, the most I worry about is why people in the girls' room have such an overwhelming need to draw penises everywhere.
I actually remember hearing about a study a few years back that concluded that female restrooms had a higher concentration of bacteria and such than male ones. It said something about high concentrations near tampon disposal areas, I think.
Well, if I could get used to crazed, unwashed fanatics at conventions, I can get used to anything. (I hope.)
Yey, nerds! My own personal affiliation happens to be Lovecraft (too bad being able to spell Cthulhu Fhtagn or pick out references in Stephen King books will never, ever come in handy).
I couldn't find anything that sounded like Kora that I thought suited me, so I just went from scratch. Once I decided on something and stuck with it for a few months, I got attached to it. Did it go the same way with yours?
Definitely. It helped that I never felt like a Kathryn, so when I switched to Cai I stuck with it. I've used this name for 9 months now, with no intentions to change. It did take me about a month to decide, but now it's a reflex reaction to write "Cai" on my papers, and introduce myself by that name.
The easiest name decision for me was my middle name. It's Leslie, and since my mum's deceased sister was named Leslie, I kept it out of respect.
Well, I started out crossdressing for not entirely voluntary reasons.
And got named "Brooke" because I have a tendency to babble in certain circumstances.
After a bit, we both realized that I *liked* being Brooke. I'll probably never get surgery, or go full time. But I'm planning on stuff like permanent hair removal.
In any case, I'm used to "Brooke" now. It also has one thing in common with my boy name. Both lead some people to make annoying jokes. I guess that's something I can live with, as it can help explain a few things about me.

A tremendous number of women spray the seat.
A also significant number of toilets spray the seat when flushing.
This results in wet seats a lot of the time.
Of course, what girl sits down without making sure she's protected?
(one with a wet bottom ... that's who)

I've got a friend named Morgan. She didn't even have to change her name when she went from guy to gal.
