Do Germs spread when you flush the toilet? It's all down to what is known as "toilet plume" — the small particles of waste that mix with the water in your toilet after you flush and which can shoot aerosolized feces into the air (as high as 15 feet, apparently!). ... So basically, an uncovered toilet that's not in use can still spread bacteri

I have a bath in the bathroom as well, that's why it is called the bathroom.
High end market restaurants you presumably eat at do not have baths in their toilets though so calling them bathrooms is of course silly.

Yep, that's my opinion, total prudes who come out with stupid words like restroom, bathroom, or even the most childish one, go potty lol.
Are you ashamed of going to the toilet? Does it make you feel dirty and sinful taking a dump or going for a piss?
I used the toilet at McDonalds the other day, on my receipt it said "Toilet lock code 3490", on the door it said "Toilet", and guess what, there were no comfy seats there to have a rest, and not a bath in sight.
Here, I'll help you out...
Restroom
Bathroom
Toilet
Potty
You will note that a potty is a receptacle used to teach small children how to use...guess what...yes, the toilet.
You will also note that the toilet image above is typical of public toilets with cubicles which have lockable doors for privacy. If a trans male still has a vagina then he will use the cubicle in the male toilets to sit down and pee. Nobody will see and children will not be scarred for life.
If a trans female still has a penis there are no urinals on the wall so she will also use a cubicle to pee, and again nobody will see unless you are weird and peep over the door or something.
So lesson of the day complete, a toilet is something different to a bathroom or restroom, but you prudish US folk have some weird hangup about saying the word...almost as bad as when you see (shock horror) a female nipple while at the beach Lmao!
Y'all make me think of Victorian Britain.

I can't believe you are so hurt to post stuff about toilets and rant about it. Chill out and find some peace.
Wow at least you own your bigotry haha! I'm glad you don't set the law in my corner of England, but I almost can't believe you posted that seriously.

Trans people shouldn't even use public restrooms. They should all wear adult diapers or colostomy bags and catheters. Also when at my house the "toilet" is located in the "bathroom". Does that make you feel better?

I don't know why do they sell cushioned toilet seats? Is it for my comfort? Hmmm.

So what do you guys call the room that the toilet is in?
Oh ok. Yeah, it's a terminology thing. Some folks consider the 'toilet' to be the commode itself, which is located in the bathroom or restroom. For instance : "She can't come to the phone right now, she's ON the toilet."
Unless, of course, I'm the only one who uses the term that way,which is possible. lol
Personally, in my day, it was the outhouse anyhow.
