Mens room, Just because you want to be a woman doesn't mean you are there is no reason a little girl or any woman should be worried about a cross dresser using a womans bathroom. It's just over stepping bounds In my opinion.

i just started using the ladies room but I am in a stall and quickly washing my hands and out. When I have bumped into other women I have been met with smiles so I guess I passed, but Starbucks is another good choice only one person in the restroom at a time
it was once said, long time ago, i think by ann landers, that if you are dressed as a lady, use the ladies. seems reasonable to me, unless you are at a halloween party, in which case, i dont think it makes much difference. who are we to argue with ann?
Last year at HEF2006, the hotel put a sign on one of the ladies restroom saying it would be used by those of us attending HEF. We also used the normal ladies restroom in the bar, since the HEF restroom was too far away.

This seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me.
If you are presenting as a woman, you use the little girl's room. If you are presenting as a guy, you use the guy's room.
I any case if you DO use the little girl's, PLEASE remember to SIT! If you plan on standing to urinate, it's the little boy's room for you, no matter what you look like.

I agree that you should look appropriate for the bathroom you wish to use. But, has anyone ever been challanged or humiliated while using a ladies room when dressed, but were spotted as a CDer. And conversely, ever use a men's room when dressed en femme and have someone actually confront you. I use both rest rooms when dressed at various times and have never had anyone say a word. Also, when shopping, the SA always has me use the ladies dressing room when trying on clothes. Never a second thought about it.
We cannot change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
The material on using public restrooms in Las Vegas that Kimberly, President of the Tri-Ess chapter there , sent me, should be of interest. See my restrooms in Las Vegas post.
Whichever one you use, don't tap your foot!

I use the ladies room, always and everywhere, when I am out en femme, malls, movies, casino's, restaurants, etc. As long as you go right to an empty stall, sit to do your business and then quickly washing your hands before leaving. Unless the bathroom is empty, it's probably not a good idea to gaze into the mirror for any length of time :-)
I feel there is a far greater danger of something nasty happening while using a men's room when dressed than using the ladies room. I think, in NJ (where I live), it is or was illegal for a man to use a ladies room. But now that we are protected in our recently passed anti-discrimination law I'm not so sure that is true any longer.

LOL!!
I am the daughter of Joann0830 and i just would like to say that everyone has their own special feeling mine would be theres that old saying where when ever a lady goes to the restroom u go in pairs if u feel comfortable walking in as one as ur dressed then more power to you girl! i respect any CDM who can walk into a ladies room and smile thinkin YES I CAN AND I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS.
I always use the room for how I am dressed. I agree that if you use the wrong room for how you 'appear' that would be more problematic. Some places still have laws regarding which gender can use which room but realistically, who is going to check if you behave appropriately all the way around?
Oh yes, and don't gawk around like you never saw women in a bathroom before.
I am always presenting as confident that I belong where I am. That said, with or without someone else, if I have to go while out dressed, I go. Do what I have to do and leave. One comment I got was as I left the ladies room, a black woman commented on my muscular legs. That was kinda kewt really since I am ANYTHING BUT muscular.
Perhaps I am lucky but so far, no one has questioned my right to use a particular rest room.
