Just curious. I know I don't quite pass yet, but when were you able to pull it off? Though I suppose if I whipped it out and used the urinal they wouldn't think twice??
I can't wait until I can stand to pee, lol.

I'm no where near full time but I have used the mens room. I don't use it exclusively so it's kind of a go with the flow (pun intended) and pick your spots kind of situation.
i'm still getting called ma'am and miss every so often so i pretty much use family restrooms. if i know the layout of the bathroom i'll go for one or two stalled men's. i have yet to go when at a sporting event or big public area.
its all about the confidence though. the few times i've been in i've had no problems. ah so i say when you feel like its time...
I have used the mens a quite alot not all the time.. but most of it.. however I try and use the stalls as I haven't got the convidence quite yet to use the urinals as I had a drunken accident when I first tried to use one.. so no not doing that again for quite some time.. I never get anyone saying anything...
My biggest mistake was walking into toliets in a club going straight towards the toliets and finding they where locked (only two in the mens) and walking straight out again.... I dont think no one noticed me though but..
I try and use the disabled toliets most places if I can..
When I started getting weird looks in the women's room (waaay pre-t). I just made it a point to either not use a public restroom or find one that wasn't gendered if I was around my family when I was younger; the rest of the time I used the men's room and I passed about 50% as a super-young guy. I felt WAY safer in the men's room; guys less likely to make noise about you fitting in. Women SCREAM. >_<
I had an awkward situation once when i began using the male loo's. I was stupid enough and drunk enough to chance going to the mens in a pub where practically half the people in it knew me... whether they knew me as male or female. I went the first time early in the night. A good idea. However... once i'd downed plenty of strongbow and the odd cocktail i went to find a massive que for the stalls. Ended up having a drunken conversation with a guy i know (but not fully) while waiting.
I wont do that again!
Now i use both... i go with the place i'm in and how confident i feel. Unless i am someplace where people do know i'm a guy... then it would be rather freaky if i walked into the ladies to relieve myself lol
When I was ten or so. then I stopped. Tried to do what my mom wanted.."be her only daughter" I got four brothers & my mom always wanted a girl.
That didnt work out so one day when I was 15 or 16 I got tired of evrythin' & started livin' 4 myself. shaved my head, bought dude's cloths & used the dude's room again. I didnt start T till years later.
LOL I was kicked out of the women's room pre transition...Wasn't until I transitioned that I used the men's room though. Improvisional stand to pee devices FTW :D Using the urinals is a breeze.
I started after about two months after "coming out" as trans.
I'm still pre-T and it's been about 6 months now, and I can't even bring myself to go in the women's room or locker rooms, it's just too weird for me now. So I usually just try to wait to go home or use the men's.
I use it occasionally. I dont pass all the time so it is sorta risky (as well as i'm still in school) but if i'm in like, an empty fast food place or something, or no one is around i usually will use the guy's instead. It is kind if a pick and choose the moment for me
