I do not bind or pack, but I can pass for a guy most of the time. I mainly use the ladies room because I am hesitant about my passing, but almost everytime I am in womens room, I get very weird looks. I really want to start going into the guys room, but I'm not sure if I would be obvious.

I have heard that mens rooms are a lot less clean, and I am borderline OCD, so its the main reason I keep going into the ladies room.

What about you guys?

I'd probably get kicked out or something. XD I stopped using the women's room when I started getting weird glares and whispers.

In my experience, men's bathrooms aren't more disgusting.

Haven't been in a women's room for 5+ years now... and if I tried to go into one now, I'd probably have the crap beat out of me.

I'm OCD and a major hypochondriac... men's restrooms, in general, are about 3x cleaner than women's.

Same as Silver I stopped after the weird looks. Havent used the women's room more than once or twice in almost five years.

I find the mens room to be cleaner. Some women are very gross in the bathroom with where they leave their feminine products. Only grossness I see is men who can't aim so I just find another stall.

Only when I really have to go and there is no other option.  Luckily at work we have several gender neutral restrooms and I ALWAYS use one of them.  I don't think I pass very well most of the time, so I still use the womens room.  I always feel really awkward and try to get in and out as quickly as possible and hope no one sees me.  No one has ever said anything to me, but I have definitely gotten some double takes and odd looks.  Since all I have to do is talk for people to figure out that im technically female, I don't think I would ever have any real problems. 

I always want to use the mens, but It makes me really nervous (unless its a single stall, then I don't care).

I typically use the men's restroom --- I am not on hormones.   If there is a bunch of young guys who appear drunk I use the women's ... but I have found the men's restroom are just as clean --- they just smell

I don't use public bathrooms, but if you pass I think you should use the men's. At work the women's is definitely worse then the men's. The women will squat and completely miss the bowl. That's for pee, poop, and and blood. There also are a few who decide to paint the stall red. The men's room sometimes has ants.

I've been using the mens toilets for almost a year now. I just can't imagine using the female toilets. My doctor even told me if I was still using the girls I would probably cause a fuss or something. Like I was at the Gold Coast on the weekend with my sisters and we had to go to the toilets. The ones we found were coded and we couldn't get in. Some lady came and let my sisters in the females but then she looked at me and said "you are going to need the men's, I will open that for you." I thought that was pretty cool.

I've never had the other guys say anything to me but generally here the guys don't speak to each other when they are in there anyway. As for cleanliness, sometimes the guys toilets can be atrocious. Pee all over the floor, it smells, but thats only certain toilets and depending on where you are too.

I bind, I occasionally pack, and I've been on testosterone for 10 months. I still use the women's restrooms because I'm seen as female most of the time. I usually try to find a gender neutral bathroom but those can be hard to find.

Men's restrooms are so much cleaner in my experience.  Men's urine smells stronger, but urine is sterile anyway unlike used feminine products.  It depends on where you live, but if you pass reasonably well, you should be fine.  Men try to ignore each other as much as possible in the restroom. 

I still use the womens. But I'm really early on in my transition so....I don't pass well enough for the mens.

I am.. 100% positive I'd be stared at awkwardly if I tried to go into the women's bathroom. Last time I went into one, I was working in a place where I wasn't out, so I /had/ to use the women's restroom and that was quite a few months ago.

I havent used a womens room since my freshman year of college. I would get screamed out if I did now.

but as I have noticed, mens rooms are less gross then womens, mens rooms may have more pee odor, or pee on the floors.  womens rooms smell like death (period blood smells disgusting) and there is blood everywhere and smelly pads and tampons.. GROSS.  and just think, if you want to sit on the toilet, you know that not many people have sat on it, women sit on all the toilets, men only sit on the toilets once in a while.

I generally don't use public restrooms, ever. But, sometimes when I'm waiting for a friend in the lady's room I get odd looks, and I'm not on T yet. I'll get the double take and mostly since I don't pass they just go on ignoring me. I'd love to use the men's though. But I can't use bathrooms with stalls, singular public bathrooms are fine.

I don't have a problem at work bc I work in a nursing home and all the bathrooms are unisex and are generally clean, but I agree with many of you about some females being gross about feminine products and blood. bleh.

I'll take a little piss on the floor over bloody tampons and junk like that any day. 

I try to avoid public restrooms. I still use the ladie's atm. I only pass 50/50.

I'm forced to use the ladies' at school which is making me terribly uncomfortable 'cause we have 16 year old students as well so I'm just seen as a young, small, boy. Making the whole toilet experience something I can stress about all day long.

When I'm randomly out or using public traffic and sorts, I almost always use the men's restroom. Just not when my folks are around, 'cause I'm not out to them yet. If I'm with friends who don't know I just tell them it's easier to use the men's 'cause I get tired of staring girls and they'll nod and drop the subject.

I used to pass sporadically so would flit between using both bathrooms depending on how well I passed on any given day. Much like everybody else I officially made the switch after I started passing more consistently.

i was still using the girls room at school when i shaved my head, i got tons of weird looks and i got called out by a teacher once she said "excuse me this is the girls room" "exactly" i said. i wasnt out at the time but i knew i was trans, the whole thing pissed me off. now i only use guys rooms even at school but i use the single stall mens. its the cleanest bathroom ever because only theater kids use it. BTW i pass almost 100% of the time, but most people think im younger then i am.

I only use the girls room is it more closeby or something like that,

man its a freaking toilet I dont want to make a big issue about it but I do feel like I belong to the boy toilet even thought it stinks more.

if people give me nasty comments then I just answer them back ignore them or ask why they even care,
mostly people cant even come up with a got explanation why girl and guys room should be seperated,

some girls say guys pee on the toilet bord,
yeah but guys also do that on the boys toilet,

and some guys says girls are looking at there penis
yeah but so do they, they just wont admit it because that would make them "gay..

people are so strange..
