FAQ entry 13.12:

What are some examples of poor restroom practice?

• Using public restrooms in groups! This is one of the absolute worst practices there is!


• Obvious restroom usage. If our group has attracted the attention of the public, find a restroom away from where the group has congregated.


• Standing in the stall! Almost certain to generate a complaint.


• Socializing with curious GGs in a public restroom. For every supportive GG who thinks it's cool for you to be in there, there will be others who do not! This is very likely to generate complaints.


• Defending another's use of a restroom. This has resulted in a supportive GG being escorted off the property of a major Strip hotel! (This incident happened after the equal-access law cited previously.)


• Speaking in an obvious male voice when in a public ladies room. This can be very alarming to GGs (and even TGs) who are not seen but are in the restroom. It is very likely to generate a complaint.


• Lingering, loitering, or socializing in a public restroom.
