After Trump's hot mic scandal, the issue of transgender people using public restrooms has resurfaced -- "Why are these liberals mad about Trump sexually assaulting women? They don't care if MEN use the bathroom with their WIVES and DAUGHTERS!!1!11!!1!!one!!!1!11!"

In light of this, I thought I should offer some tips for my fellow cisgender women who might one day share a public restroom with a trans person.

1. Find an empty stall.

You really don’t want to use a stall while someone else is using it. What a great opportunity to practice patience!

2. If there’s a line… don’t cut!

In your blind rush to find an empty stall, remember to be mindful of others. Manners matter.

3. Don’t flush baby wipes, menstrual hygiene products, or last season’s Manolo Blahnik's down the toilet.

4. Lock the stall door.

Those doors don’t stay shut on their own!

5. Try not to get mascara or lipgloss on the mirror.

Not only are you creating a mess someone else will have to clean up later, you’re getting germs in your makeup products! Grody!

6. Don’t make it “yours.”

Leave the decorative seashells and scented candles at home -- this bathroom isn’t yours, so leave the decor up to Target’s staff!

7. Don’t leave your purse on the baby changing station.

You’re not helping parents out by adding obstacles to diaper-changing! Besides, that’s a great way for your purse to get stolen.

8. Don’t rap on every stall door, wailing for your mother.

Exception: you are actually a distressed child looking for your mother.

9. If there’s candy in there, don’t eat it.

10. If you’re planning to do drugs in the bathroom, keep it quick.

Some people actually have to pee.

11. Compliment someone if you like their look!

You never know -- you could be a ray of sunshine in someone’s cloudy day!

12. Remember to wash your hands!
