   @taedryn In middle school and high school, I used them only for the most quick and furtive change, definitely never a shower (though honestly I didn't see any of the boys using the showers). I have occasionally enjoyed then later in life, but really it was because they were at super luxe luxury gyms and it was really the opportunity to pamper myself I was enjoying.

     Today's interesting egg realization: from an early age, I was deeply avoidant of locker rooms. I didn't understand the reason, I figured I was just shy, or afraid other boys would mock me, but I knew deep in my heart that this was a place to not be. I don't recall ever being unclothed in a locker room.

     As usual with these realizations, it all makes a lot more sense now. (And this isn't to say that locker rooms are a nice place for anyone else, I suspect they're just generally not good.)
