use the bathrooms later at night, avoid 8-10 pm

Towel or bring clothes in with you for showering. Also shower shoes

Lowkey if your college has like a dorm for people who aren’t cis I’d ask about that and get there asap, if not then find what times the showers are least busy and try to go then, in terms of toilet use you’re probably just gonna have to suck it up and hope someone doesn’t come in while you’re there

your roommate being a girl is definitely going to put you unfortunately. get ahead of that now or keep it entirely under wraps with strangers

It does but I didn’t really wanna be there tbh, the school generally is very lgbt friendly but it’s so big that there’s always a few ppl (umich btw)

I’m worried some weird cis guys would just like pull the curtain back or smth, I’d hope not but I dunno some frat bros could be like that

i have literally never heard of that happening. granted i've heard big school hazing is crazy but i think there's no way.

It would be harassment at minimum, and could get the perpetrator kicked out of the dorm

i was scared of that with pool bathrooms when i started using the men's. i went when it wasn't busy and kept my towel in the stall
