my mom was going to call me Dustin or Justin if i wasn't a girl
I don't know how the hell she got from my name to Justin/Dustin.
Well I had a couple roommates in college named Dustin and Justin. Dustin had a paladin character in WoW named Rhiannon so I figure since all of you are actually figments of my imagination, that's probably where you come from.
whether you're spraying or not you should probably be wiping after #1 anyway
I was doing this before I even began transition
standing to pee is the dumbest idea ever
I know, right?
I've always been sick of little pee droplets splashing onto my legs and feet and I literally never considered this as a solution. My life is forever changed.

I'm tempted to refer to you as "she" all the time, you know
it's frustrating because you'd make the cutest girl

You know what's the greatest thing about this generation?
Getting to name ourselves.
You know what's the scariest thing?
Ditto.
... No, not that ditto. Erm. What i said above.
How to put this. I once threatened to kill an upper classman if he ever called me Tony the Tiger again. -HATED- that name, because it was used in such a mocking way. I never went by my full name, Anthony, because I always felt like I was in trouble. My middle name was just.. there, until I started learning about my maternal granddad and how awesome he was... But he changed his name too, going from Harvel George to George Harvel. (And I'm only saying this because my god, my screenname is linked everywhere, anyone can find this stuff easily enough).
Funny story. My dad didn't want me to be a Junior. My parents finally settled on Anthony... Turns out, that was my paternal granddad's name, he just NEVER used it. That was a shock to learn.. after he died...
Point being.. names are not something we have historically chosen. They are a legacy, of our bloodline and our past, and the whims of our parents. And yet they shape us, define us, provide us with easier or harder circumstances based purely around communication. I still hate writing my name in cursive, because being left handed means I have to push all those damned looping motions...
But here we are.. in an age where we get to define who were are, present ourselves as we are, and embrace whatever we wish to be. Every person here has a story behind their name. Mine's mundane - after going by the silly "MaulerT" online for a couple years, a high school friend my freshman year invited me to try online roleplaying at the ripe old age of 14. I needed a name to post, so I warped my name Anthony into Athenor.. and have been using it ever since. I'm not the fondest of it, but it has a ring to it. It also means a lot of people assume I'm female, thanks to the "Athena" sounding beginning or the nickname "Ath." My second character was Damien, my third was Javrand, my fourth was Myridiam... and Myridiam is actually my favorite name, as it's where I made the most friends online, playing WoW and feeling like I mattered, even for a brief, shining moment.
I think about names a lot. Every character I make has a unique name to go with their personality, the vowels and consonants reflecting their personality, grit, edge, and tenderness. It is one of the foundations of my character building.
I've thought about changing my name to that. But it would be too much work. Too much to scrub clean.. and besides. I've grown attached to who I am. Only one place online do I choose not to use one of those two names, and that's mostly so that traces don't lead back to porn sites as easily.
... I guess the point I'm trying to make is that to me, names are magical. I fall head over heels for Sarah or Megan or Heather... which sucks, because they are all cousins of mine. But still, the sounds... *sighs*
I'm so incredibly proud and jealous of all of you. Here I am.. 'Lil Anthony to the world, Tony to those I want to be friendly to, Athenor to those who get to see my nerd side..
I'm going to miss this thread. I wish I could give you guys the world.. And in return, make the world accept you for who you decide to be. Because that, truly, is where this trip is heading, warts and all.
it made so much sense when I found out that humans were biologicaly meant to squat to relieve themselves. I've sort of felt irked at toilets since
and yeah, fuck urinals with splashback. gross
edit: also, I totally haven't thought about coming up with a middle name. I forgot I wasn't done with this. Joseph won't do at all!
I agree with the squat thing. As far as splashback goes I'm pretty sure that can be alleviated by aiming down and/or not humping the bowl? Maybe I don't understand.

Look on the bright side and view it as a built in bidet
Naw it's just your body reconfiguring itself like a transformer
Do you hear a QUACK QUACK QUACK noise when you poop?
Now, I watched a lot of Beast Wars, and I don't remember seeing a duck transformer.
It took me almost 9 months for that to stop.
One person I think still is (though she's older, maybe that affects it?)
You just have to spend more time cleaning. >.>
Also your posture greatly affects it, play around till you find what gives you the most often tried and true results.
noted
leaning forward and back have limited results, so far
gonna try side to side
having to clean myself off with tissue is taking the satisfaction out of going number one

I found the biggest change was sitting as though there were a metal rod going straight up my butt to my skull, no slouching on the loo
Well I had a couple roommates in college named Dustin and Justin. Dustin had a paladin character in WoW named Rhiannon so I figure since all of you are actually figments of my imagination, that's probably where you come from.
so I might have to pee like a proper princess?
I can do that

that's really odd
I had assumed they'd hook up a bag or something
At least at home or in a stall why wouldn't people do this more even when standing
The toilet paper is like...3 inches away from your hip when standing, c'mon
I know, right?
I had one until this morning
so glad it's gone

I've always been sick of little pee droplets splashing onto my legs and feet and I literally never considered this as a solution. My life is forever changed.
like if there is one thing that ever gives me pause it is "wait, how will i drunk pee?"

Joan D'arc would make a badass middle name

If you hit the curve at the bottom just right theres no splashback it just cleanly slides around and down into the drain.
edit and also no noise
firing directly into the water is so loud

This is all so complicated! I just solved this problem by changing gender.
...well, really I just avoided the problem, but that's basically the same thing as solving it.
I like Joan more than pretty much any other J feminine name, so maybe. I might drop the D'arc part though. I like the simplicity of three names
and guys, like 98% of urinals I have zero trouble with. I just occasionally encounter one that must be really poorly designed or something
edit: playing around on behindthename is far more fun to me than it probably should be

I'm going with Autumn, I'm pretty sure. keeping my last no matter what, because I think it's kind of fancy. so possibly... Autumn Joan Wilkinson?
90% of that stuff
I feel horrible for not being there at all
Not sure if I ever will, though. Chris is pretty unisex.
