So I'm going to be sporting my binder and cornrows with a hat at the beach next week. Can I use the men's bathrooms? Anyone ever done it?

I've never done it, but I can't pass in the least so I haven't tried.

I suppose it depends on how well you pass.

AS long as you pass then you should be fine. Even if your just passing a little, it's fine. You just go in, do what you need to, then get out. No one will even notice. when I was at the beach, my mom even told me to go in the mens to get my bro cause I look like a guy and she is against me being trans.

Alright good! Well as long as I'm feeling confident in myself I'll go in a men's stall and do my thing.

Of course you CAN do it. It's just whether or not you are confident enough to

Haha true. Well I'm thinking I will do it! 

Just do it! I've been using them exclusively since the beginning of the year and it's been a bit of an anticlimax if anything.  No one even bats an eye, it's just about walking in like you already belong there.

Good advice. And glad to know you've been there and done that!

Yep, it's easy, nobody cares. I've been doing it for 3 months now.

I think, judging by yr avatar, that you'd look a lot more out of place in the ladies room!  And pls post pics of yr cornrows, awesome.

Haha... I'm not sure how the cornrows will look. But it's the best solution I can find to not having a "guy" haircut yet. I'm more of the "pretty boy" type haha so I guess we'll see how it looks. I'm taking plenty of hats in case it's awful!

yeah, I've done it many times ^.^ a lot of the time, also, if you aren't completely confident in whether or not you're passing, people in a restroom are afraid to confront you about it. Not to mention, the level of social interaction in there is pretty low to begin with lol. Go for it, I think it will go just fine.

Haha alright thanks. I didn't figure there would be a whole lot of talking. Most guys just want to go in there, do their business and get back to whatever it is they were doing.

I've been going in the mens for over a year and before I even was passing 100% it's not a big deal at all.

Good! I want be using a pack and pee or anything like that. So I should be perfectly fine going to a stall. I would be a bit nervous if I were actually trying the stand up with a pack n' pee.

Before you use a men's restroom with a stp, practice! I use the men's room all the time, it just feels so much more natural, even though I was kinda nervous at first, no one really gives anyone a second thought in there unless you make it obvious that you're nervous or something.

If the stalls don't have doors, will that mess with you?

Even so, you might have more of a problem if you use the women's. That is, the women there might have a problem...

If the bathroom doesn't have a door how would I use the restroom? Haha you're making me nervous now.

Because of sex and drugs a huge number of public mens restrooms (and even womens rooms in a lot of clubs) have no doors anymore.

And pay attention, for a number of reasons bathrooms are the one place that don't have cameras in them.  Out of sight, out of mind.

What Tekla says. It sucks, but there it is.

The first time I went to a CMG bonfire at the beach, I drove to the location ahead of time and checked out the restroom situation. I figured that if the stalls had doors, I was good to go. If they didn't, I would have to leave early if I felt the urge to pee.

There are lots of stall-less bathrooms around. I see them mostly at beaches, parks, and bars. But I'm sure those aren't the only places...
