So my mom's horror story hasn't caused a rash (heeheeehee) of conversions to squatting, huh?
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you can squat and aim (or wield the tissue paper) I figure it's fine.

my mother got scabies from a toilet seat that was in a public venue.
Well, that's odd. I wouldn't have thought it was a good medium for much of anything, temperature-wise. But I can see how it would be most upsetting. Still, unless someone else has evidence to the contrary, I'm going to guess it's a vanishingly rare occurrence.

When you are short, it is really hard to squat. the toilet at the theatre where i work is some sort of freaky tall toilet where my feet don't touch the ground sitting on it normally!. And I am not that short (5'2"). Also, that particular bathroom is a single person, and you can tell it is cleaned/frequented by men because the waistbasket is like a 5 minute walk from the toilet, so if you have to change your tampon you have to wrap it, set it down, insert the new one, pick it up, throw it out and then wash your hands. Which requires crossing the bathroom like 4 times. Every time I am in there I move the wastebasket near to the toilet, but it always gets moved to by the door.

For the people who use paper towels to open the door, I guess.

Without forward admittance, the public washroom is a venue most likely to affect every user of every age group and every gender.
"Without forward admittance"? What does that mean?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Some of the handicapped-accessible toilets at my school are high enough that I'm on tiptoes! And I'm way taller than you. I don't use those if I can help it.

I usually use those, and never notice until it's occupied and I try a normal stall and have that empty air moment where I fall.

I'm sorry, but that image makes me laugh. I fell into a sofa the other day, but hardly ever onto the toilet.
