I was out and about shopping last weekend with a few CD friends during the day. We all decided to go to a nice, very popular restaurant/pub which was a first for me in terms of
1. Going to a big, very mainstream place that had families on the restaurant side and the pub on the other side but the whole place is still joined together just somewhat separated with nice stone water features etc. the place can hold hundreds of people
2. It was at 12:30 during the day when we entered this big establishment, sat down and got some stares along the way all right. However the stares went away just as fast as they came.
3. I was nervous but my aquaintances/friends are proud of who they are and don't cower in shame. 2 of them including me all use our male voices
One of the girls in the group has always advocated for using the men's washroom at all times but my other TG friend uses the women's washroom. After lunch was over they both got up from the table and 1 girl went into the womens and 1 girl went into the mens. Then they came out sat down again and said yeah we'll never agree on that one.
It gave me a good laugh. Myself, I still like to use the men's washroom.
