Hello Family,
I am about to embark upon a big documentary film project and I really need your help. I know many of us in the GLBT/queer communities have either experienced or know of people who have experienced the difficulty of navigating gendered spaces like public bathrooms and/or barber shops. I want to know your stories, but more than that I want to know how it is you manage as an AG, Stud, Butch, Dom, Trans Man, Two-spirit person, gender queer Masculine of Center person to survive and thrive in a world that is clearly demarcated Man and Woman.
I want to hear from any and everyone although I'm based in Los Angeles and the Bay Area so that's where I will do most of my interviews. Please email me at butchesnbathrooms@gmail.com if you are interested in sharing your stories or know anyone that may be interested in the project. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you. Thanks to you all in advance.

Exiting the washroom at the Eaton Centre, where there's a big female icon on the wall, a lady looked shocked and surprised [and jumped] when she saw me exiting. She then proceeded to say "...isn't this the ladies washroom?"
ReplyDeleteAfter I said yes, she then looked in the opposite direction to see a male washroom.
Either she didn't believe me, or she was motioning for me to go to that one. :L
Bathroom is a place in which there has to be a perfect balance between comfort and style.
