There is no way I'd use the men's bathroom dressed as a female. That's just inviting trouble I think or at least attracting unwanted attention.

If possible, as others have said, try to locate unisex toilets but I think it's generally safer in the washroom you're dressed for. The one's at any establishment where there is lots of alcohol being served I think might be the most dangerous to use though if a man sees you coming out or going in.

Love,

I think this is generally true, for me before i presented quite as feminine as i am now though i was dressed fairly andro. Imagine, jeans, a T-shirt, women's converses, no makeup on, relatively short pixie cut but with projecting boobs. Really i sort of could choose either and still be wrong, so i just chose.

In the truck stop example above, i was dressed a bit more femme, i had heels on and makeup but the ladies room was being mopped. - I felt pretty safe but you are probably right at some point i have to stop acting like the im still andro and respect the guys space.

I like Europe where there is a lot more unisex facilities.

I would have done the same if people would have been in there the last time I did. Hugs

thats how I felt, like I didnt belong in the mens looking the way I did.... and I was watching to make sure I wasnt encountering others on the way in. Though 2 men came in, like I said, I waited them out...
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
