Despite being very much not a girl, I've never used restroom spaces for the opposite sex.
One of my best friends is trans female, and playing through this really helped me to imagine what that situation might be like for her-- and just in general, the awkwardness of the world seeing you as a different person than you really are, and possibly even being seen as a threat. It stings. It stings hard, thinking that she has to go through this. And that I probably will as well, as I transition.
For those brave people who choose to use the restrooms that validate their identity, and for those who don't, you are valid. You are worthy. And you are wonderful.
I'm AMAB and Enby with a mostly androgynous name and pronouns (He/She/They). I absolutely hate going into public bathrooms but I always have to go into the male restroom. I feel if I could be open with who I am in public, I would be able to go to the bathroom in female restrooms because I would feel much more comfortable with that instead of male restrooms. Ultimately, I wish I had access to non-binary restrooms that are exclusively for any people that aren't cis female or cis male. We need so many more safe spaces and the seemingly small things like bathrooms require so much courage. (edited)
As a nonbinary person who hasn't transitioned besides using my desired pronouns, this is what I'm afraid of. Right now i feel okay using fem restrooms since i am afab, but it probably wont be like that for long and that scares me.
I understand this, and even though my beliefs are strongly against LGBTQ, they exist and the world is terribly difficult for them. This game perfectly illustrates their hardships. Not just bathroom, but everything else. [bug didn't actually exist it was my lag]
Thanks for this game. I'm nonbinary and soon moving into the territory where both bathrooms could be risky for me. I'm not even afforded the chance to express my identity, instead I have to worry about the reactions of others above all else. This really spoke to my fears.
Thanks for the comment <3 Reading through the comments /playing through, I hope it can give you at least some kind of comfort to know that you're not alone in the world. Sending love and stay safe <3.
Sending this message of love and support to you. The world can be cruel and full of injustice, which is what spurred us to create this experience game in the first place. I hope you are doing okay, and that you have the strength to carry on <3.
On behalf of Nemo and myself, thank you for playing our game and taking the time to write a comment.
