    Happy to see you! Winter certainly makes it harder for me to find my mojo and handle things, so hopefully things will look brighter, for all, now that spring is here!
    Definitely relating to being uncomfortable around some of the people we love. It’s a topic that I am struggling with around my Dad and it has gotten emotionally draining over the past month and still trying to figure out how to gently handle it with him. Thank you! ☮️

      Hey, I have missed your vids. You ALWAYS have something to say...sometimes I'm enlightened, sometimes I need to mull, sometimes you make me laugh out loud! This time I did all three! Good job!

    Ha ha!!! Best story ever! I have noticed that men don’t care too much about what goes on in the bathroom. Even when I presented as female in desperation I’d use the men’s toilet and no one cared. But I still prefer to use it alone if I can in case anything ever where to happen. I don’t use the women’s bathroom even if I fear the men’s because 1) I’m not a woman but also 2) I pass for a young guy and don’t ever want to be disrespectful to women by using their washroom. They could fear me coming in.

    Hey Stine-brand new to your awesome vlog. Yes 50's, yes late discovery, yes to your great sense of humor. Yes it's always been there but I was told many many times "because you're a girl" when I wanted to do something not permitted or asked why I couldn't do.....whatever. It shuts down thinking anything else is possible. I've gone thru life being the very best non-feminine female I can be. I've rocked that out pretty well too, jus' sayin'.
    No not doing any transition yet. (Yet...that's a telling word that slips out). Fear. Patience. Gotta get my mental game in order to know what is right for me. Your info is super helpful. Did I mention fear? AACK! I'm watching from your beginning-it is helpful to where I am now and you provide a great model of success. I'll catch up to #81+ in time. Much appreciation.

      Thanks, and thank you for watching. "the very best non-feminine female I can be "-- this speaks volumes to me. And yes, patience is EVERYTHING...

      “The very best non feminine” soo funny because I tried to be femine but was the best non feminine. Waouu.

    I’m glad you’re feeling better! I too finally got over my bathroom phobia recently. Though not in as , um, interesting a way.

    Good to see you. You crack me up. I love to hear you speak so even if YOU think you don't have anything to say. Please make a video. We will watch. And listen. Lol. Example you just talked about someone rubbing one off and poop spatter. And all could think about is how good it is to see you.😊.

    Don't worry about having something profound to say. Talk about whatever is on your mind, no matter how mundane it might seem to you. We miss your face.

    Good to see you, man. Had a very similar experience a year or so back that relieved my bathroom anxiety! I’ve also had several cis guys tell me they actually hate using the urinal. So there is comfort there as well. Always rooting for you buddy!

    Good to see you, Stine. Great intro and use of the OK button! So glad you're taking good care of yourself and seeing some improvement, dare I say, managability, on the depression front. Although, "managing" can seem like drudgery at times. I've been feeling that way about making videos. But, now I feel I can make one responding to you! ;) I'm lucky that I haven't experienced the men's room as much different from the women's bathroom. No strange poo sightings and I thank my lucky stars. The men's room at the studios is a place of slight discomfort for me only because I know those guys and they know I'm trans. A lock on the door would solve any problems (real or imagined) I'll talk to the owner who is also an artist, queer and has a studio there. She's also a friend, so I could ask. I imagine the other fellas are a little uncomfortable, too. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. They're awesome, nay! beloved, sensitive sweet men and we get along really well. But that sensitivity we all share can make us hyperaware of something and have feels about it. Some man at a night when there was an opening, jumped as if startled to see me walk in as he walked out. I think he knows me and knows I'm trans. I am finding that because my art is getting known around these parts, I am, too. And it super interesting to me because I don't know who knows and who doesn't anymore. Oh yeah ... I have my next video topic. Thanks, Stine! ha.

      Thanks, Earl. Yes, sharing a bathroom with guys I know might feel quite different -- at least at first. I look forward to letting go into the not knowing who knows...it's such a task trying to keep track :)

    Omgod... this got me laughing!!! Seriously, what IS up with the placement of poo? I soooo dont get this. It's like that at my work. Boggles my mind. May the shadow cure your fears.

    Hi my friend. Nice to see you and listen. I am sorry, but I don’t understand why using bathroom is such a problem? I am so super happy of what you saw and how it helped you to relax (as him of course🤣😁). I get the point about lockers room but bathroom...? Many cis men sit down too. You are many to comment this difficulty. Why?
    Also I understand feeling unconfortable with people misgendering after 2 years! Shit!
    Take care.

    Men’s bathrooms are definitely more nasty than any women’s restroom I’ve been in those first 35 years of my life.
