Unisex public bathrooms have taught me a lot about culture. They're a great example of my own cultural conditioning being so strong that I had trouble believing it was cultural conditioning and not reality based. https://twitter.com/mosquito_chaser/status/1296264147454197760 …

I grew up with sex segregated bathrooms, and deeply internalized the idea that sex segregated bathrooms were safe. So, the first time I used a multi-stall, multi-sex bathroom (at Grendel's Den in Harvard Sq), I felt frightened.

I was on a date with @mosquito_chaser at the time, years before my transition. Seeing a man in the restroom felt wrong. I couldn't believe Cassie didn't feel frightened like I did. I didn't get how everyone there just going about their lives, and nothing bad was happening.
