( I really feel like I am in the "betweener" stage of transition (it sucks) actually )

Yeah I don't get that either. I can walk a mile and two different people will address me differently, one as ma'am, one as sir. . and it baffles me to hell. That's why I say I look at what I wear, what I'm doing at the moment, etc.. to try and figure it the hell out. Same as on the telephone. So now, I just try to speak deeper. lmfao! If all else fails, confuse the hell out of them!

Do we all use male restrooms here?

I tend more times than not. I get no second looks like I do if I was to go into a female restroom. Females are more aware of their surroundings in a restroom , want to use the mirror, powder up, hang out and wait for their kids, chat, check their messages, etc.. Men, they just want to do their business and get back to whatever it was they were doing.. yeah? SO I just bust in, same as the next male, do my business, wash my hands and get out. No questioning, no saying I'm in the wrong room, no second looks..
