Y’all gotta try some Korean spas, they have them even in the US.

Those are super relaxing and luxurious.

First you shower, then you get REALLY clean by exfoliating your entire outer carapace, or paying someone to do it. You’re not properly exfoliated until you have flecks of your dead skin flying off.

Then you take a nice hot soak in a series of increasingly warmer hot baths.

Finish it off with a plunge in cold water.

Yes, there are other folks of the same gender. Nobody really cares, you just do your own thing.

Walk out to the lobby, hang out with friends and eat some freshly made Korean comfort food, feeling like a new person.

My friend took me to one after a long day at a theme park, and it’s changed everything, and now Korean spas are mandatory after each theme park. Instead of ending the day tired and sore, you’re relaxed, and generally feel rejuvenated. Ending the night quietly enjoying some snacks with friends feeling the cleanest you’ve ever felt, in a place designed to make you feel warm, comfortable, and safe, is incredible.

That sounds really nice!! Unfortunately it is hard to find such a space where people who are non-binary or have bodies that don’t fit into the gender binary can go to and feel welcome :'(

Yeah, unfortunately I don’t really have a solution there :(
