The question:

I was in a women's restroom when a man wearing a wig walked in. It was obvious that this 6-footer, with a large Adam's apple, deep husky voice, dressed in a floral print dress and high heels, was a man.

Should a transvestite be allowed to use the ladies' restroom? And if sex change surgery was performed, are there any visible signs?

The answer (excerpt):
There is a difference between a transvestite (someone who feels compelled to wear the clothing of the opposite sex) and a transsexual. A transsexual is a person who feels trapped in the body of the wrong sex. Before a transsexual is allowed to have gender reassignment surgery, he or she must live for one year in the role of someone of the opposite sex. This includes using the restroom facilities of the opposite gender.

I read this in the paper and thought, "Common sense here, what's going on?" Nobody on a rant. Sometimes, progress happens. We'll see, someone looking for a chance to smite a deviant still may jump up and holler.

I feel this is a tough one , If a Obvious female came into a bathroom while I was doing my business  I probly wouldn't bat an eye...  but then again I am
a male that is able to protect himself quite well if the need arrizes...
a Female on the other hand in the same curcumstances is more than likely much more defenceless and vulnerable.
  However Transexuals are REQUIRED to use the bathroom of their chosen sex so to speek... they MUST live as the oppisit sex in all things in order to apease the Requirements set upon them by Doctors... which in this case is a problem
I am afrade it is something the general public knows nothing about or they would probly change it . with that in mind I think it very prudent for TS people to be extreamily cautious when useing the public bathrooms
if you are passing as a Female you better use the girls bathroom , for your own safty.  if you are passing as a male you better use the boys restroom for the same reason... however if you find all the stalls locked don't haing arround in there go outside and wait a bit.  I think that would be better in the long run.... after all with a mans plumbing he can go just about anywhere
but thats not the case of the female going to male . untill the plumbing is changed you will be restricted to the stalls .

I remember one time I was in a restroom at a public place and this lady rushed in and said "I'm sorry fellas but I realy have to go and the girls restroom is locked  do you mind ?" and everyone burst out laughing and said no by all means .... she was already in the stall locked the door  and was doing her thing ... I got a good laugh out of it, but I am sure the poor gal was totally embarrised...  and I am sure this sinario would play out over and over again should it happen again.... 
I think Males can handle the problem without even thinking about it ... their usually the type that just don't care  about that sort'a thing... you know... so what ? when ya gott'a go, ya gott'a go !
but Females take a dimmer view of that ... while in school One time i was comeing back from lunch and I wasn't sure i was going to make it to the restroom in time , I mean it was going to be close ! and upon ariveing at the bathroom door a sign read Under repair usr the south restroom... well there wern't no way I was going to make it that far and the door to outside was a good block away as well, so i said to myself  FOOIE on it and went into the girls restroom ,  one gal standing infront of the mirror seen me come in and the expression on her face was of shock , I said sorry gals but I can't wait!
tried one door it was locked and luckily the other was un locked... i did my thing and the 2 girls were huddled whispering by the door as I made my hasty excape... I said Sorry again and split the primices as fast as I could !
... sure enough I wasn't in class 5 minutes and the teacher hands me a notice that I was to go see the principal .... some how I knew that was going to happen.... ... after I explained he sort'a smirked and said ok well next time
see if you can hold it a bit longer ok ? ....
  I had drank a full quart of chocklet milk a 16oz coke and had 3 cokes earlier that morning.... there wern't going to be any waiting !
heheheheh
the point is is there is a big diference in how the 2 sexes handle INTRUSION into the Sanctom...  for a womans restroom its inner at your own risk !  if your a guy ... for the mens restroom and your a female and you inter its a good joke to tell the other guys ,but thats about all.
However I have seen strange things going on in the mens restroom so their not places to haing around if you don't need to be there !
at work I have seen the Restroom turn into a smokeing place because smokeing on the job was not alowed. so many would haing around there and shoot the bull as well,   to be a female and walk into that sort of place would be hazardous to her well being.
so it is something to prepair your self for indeed !
....
my 2 coppers!

I was read once when entering into a bathroom in Va.  Just a strange look from the person and nothing more.  That is much better than almost being tackled while trying to go into a men's room right before I went fulltime.
