So I'm curious as to which washroom everyone uses. Also if you would like to post whether you're pre-T or on t, that would be great.

As for myself, I started using the men's room this year at college and I'm pre-T.

Women's because I have to right now. Although I have confused someone before while in there.

I avoid public bathrooms whenever possible.  It's really isn't because of being trans; it's mostly because the idea of using the same bathroom as SO MANY other people seems gross to me.  Although when I DO use the public bathroom, it's the ladies room...  I don't pass at all right now.  :P  It can't be helped.

Oh yeah, and I'm pre-T as well.

Im pre t. I pass well enough that if I went into the mens room with a piss packer and dont speak ill be fine. Until then though I use the ladies but I dont like to so I avoid it as much as possible.

I'm a man, so I use the men's room. I started using it as soon as I figured out that I needed to transition, except very occasionally if I didn't feel safe. I've never had any hassle using it - it's true that men don't take any notice of others and just get on with doing their business and getting out of there. I don't use an STP device, so I always have to use the stall, but that's only very rarely been a problem. I've been on T for 2 years now, so it'd be impossible for me to use the women's room anyway!

I still use the Women's, mainly because despite being on T for 5 months, I still don't usually pass.   >:(  However, I'm going to be coming out at work in a couple weeks (have an appointment with HR on Tuesday to hammer out the details) so I'll be switching to the men's at that point.

I avoid public bathrooms as much as I can, but I do use the male bathroom at the gym, my mum works there so all members of staff there know and said I could, but I only go in at times when not many are using the gym.

I'm pre T sadly.

Pre T and Mens unless I feel safety to be an issue. Then I just leave as there is usually a tree outside somewhere which needs watering.

I can pass only some of the time (pre-T) so I use the ladies' the majority of the time. If I'm actively trying to pass as male, and if I know the restroom isn't usually crowded, then I'll use the men's.

Funny enough, I've gotten funny looks from patrons in both facilities. Once in an airport, I wasn't even trying to pass-- no chest binding, voice altering, nothing-- and I was initially redirected to the men's by a worker until I indicated my tumors. I would have taken her directions, only I was with my Mum and it would've been really awkward had she seen me emerge from the men's, haha.

I'm an ass; I tend to end up in the handicap washrooms. Whatever locking-door single-stall restroom I can find in public is my best option; sometimes there's unisex, usually it's a handicap. I'd take a port-o-toilet over a crowded restroom any day except a windy one. Sometimes I end up in the women's room, but if I can hear other people in there, I usually end up just leaving. I've been eyeballed too many times by women coming in as I'm trying to get out.

Haven't braved the men's room yet; not one that's more than one stall inside.

Oh, and pre-t.

I never use the bathrooms while out shopping or while at school. I've adjusted my bladder so that I never have to go at school.  :) I avoid the bathrooms at school like the plague.

I switched to the mens as soon as I had the gender marker changed on my DL, which only takes a letter from a therapist here in Oregon.

The dude's room. been on T for 4 yrs (its gonna be 4 yrs this november).

It depends for me. I usually don't pass yet, but I'll use the men's if it's a single toilet. Once I get my STP packer I might feel more comfortable using a public men's bathroom. We'll see. I've been on T for about 2 1/2 months.

Men's.

I'd likely get arrested if I used the ladies room.

I avoid public washrooms, but I picked "it depends".
Sometimes you just have to go, and then, whenever possible, I take the men's. (Mostly because there are single-stall-washrooms around here and so I can lock the door and not even have to be seen in the men's room at all and so I don't feel, ever, out of place.

I am more curious about people going to men's pre-T! :O and how does it work for them too :D

Is it like just anyone else? some awkwardness? all pass perfectly?
  •  

Miniar

I don't pass worth dirt myself but I can't stomach the woman's anything anymore. It's just wrong for me.
