    I see and clean up stuff with my partner's menstrual blood all the time. Like, tampons go in the trash. Taking out the trash is a shared responsibility.

    How immature does a person have to be to think menstrual blood is some sort of gross, crazy gotcha?

    Sometimes there's blood in the trash can. Sometimes it's my blood because I picked at a scab or whatever. Sometimes it's period blood. big fucking deal.

      I’d argue there’s a significant difference between dealing with a bit of your partners blood when taking out your home bathroom’s trash, and having to clean up a strangers menstrual blood that they made a mess with in a public restroom.

      Have you considered the enlightened position of “if your bodily fluids are involved clean it yourself”? Like if I bled on something I make damn sure I clean it up. If I came on something, doubly so. I’m not a kink lord, so shit only goes in the toilet. I flush as necessary.

      How is this hard? Clean up after yourself regardless?

          I don’t do it for nicety. I work barely above minimum wage and do what I have to do to keep my job. I’m also single because fuck emotional labor.

          My comment was venting anger at the assholes who place their assholes above the seat rather than being civilized and using liners so they can properly without (understandably) placing their flesh upon upon public porcelain.

        don't put tampons in the toilet!!

        it's fine if the policy in your house is "body fluids get taken out by the person who made them."

        I just don't see it as a big deal.

        edit: I now realize you meant "shit" in a literal sense, lol

          That doesn’t contradict anything I said. I’ve cleaned bathrooms to live before. If you leave any sort of mess PERIOD AS IN THE DOT TO MAKE A PONT AT THE OF A SENTENCE. You are a piece of human shit making life harder for janitors.

            I am extremely confused by what you are saying / what you think I'm saying.

              I guess I was upset at the idea that the individual wasn’t ultimately responsible for making sure nobody had to ever encounter their bodily fluids/solids/excretions in any way shape or form.

      I mean an unknown persons blood is not something you want to be near, especially where you are putting your hands

        I think when I read "gender neutral communal toilet", my brain automatically went to "bathroom at home" rather than "public bathroom", especially in conjunction with "male friend/relative".

        But I guess in TERF world, they think men are trying to invade bathrooms or something, lol.
