I wish there was somewhere at the pool where me and my trans polycule could all go change w/o ppl thinking we were fucking or something

like the options are: women's locker room, where idt either of my partners could get away with changing and I could only get away with if I shaved which fuck no (especially to go in there alone?)
the men's locker room, where I would b endangered unless I'm binding well (which again, fuck no) and my gf would be endangered if she wears a cute swimsuit
or the family locker room
and I think ppl would look at us funny or even stop us from all going in there at the same time :/

like in general I think labelling bathrooms as specifically for trans ppl is weird at best
but for locker rooms a) many of us can't exactly go stealth and b) cis people care more if we're somewhere they don't think we belong
so like, it would be great if there was some sort of gender neutral locker room where multiple unrelated ppl can go in at a time

@raphaelmorgan Normalize nakedness and make single locker rooms for everyone, problem solved.

@raphaelmorgan Although in your specific case the family changing room should be alright, unless you get extremely unlucky no one should care, and even if you do you are technically using it for its intended purpose.

@timorl yeah, I made sure that my suggestion would include that potential bc that would be the ideal
I said there should be a gender neutral one, I didn't say there should also be a men's and a women's ;)
