    so, men's rest room or women's?

    So yea I choose the womens room when dressed. If I'm dressed the part might as well act the part right? No one suspects me at all as I fix my make up in the mirror. I guess I passed as a woman.

    So which do you go into?

    When I have a choice, I go to the women's rest room. Women are generally more tolerant to diversity then men are.

    I use the men's even though I go dressed en femme at all times. I'm the type of person that I'm not comfortable using the bathroom around women. (Unless its my own house.) That's me though everyone's differnt

    I have never been in that situation myself, but when dressed I think you should use the women's room. Unless you are in a situation where everyone knows you are dressed, then you would use the men's room.

    If I'm presenting as female I use the ladies room. I can't imagine going to the mens room dressed en femme with full makeup and heels. Too much time spent around macho guys I guess, but I wouldn't feel safe. And as Kate says, women are generally more tolerant than men. If they are not, they are more likely to accept a heartfelt apology and let you be on your way without causing a scene.

    Presenting as a female I would not use the men's rest room. That would be asking for trouble.

    If I'm out in public en femme, I use the women's restroom. It doesn't happen that often, but when it has, I go about my business like any other woman and so far at least, I haven't had one solitary problem.

    I couldn't go into the men's room en femme. I like someone mentioned earlier it's like asking for trouble.

    I prefer a very very secluded tree. Cottonwoods are nice.

    What I expected to see as a first choice was a unisex single-person restroom, then the women's restroom. I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

    If you dress and look like a woman, you should be using the womens rest room. if you look like a man, then obviously you should use the mens room!! There is no magic here, just common sense!! As many of you aready know, I dress as a woman almost every day, but since I wear no makeup or a wig I certainly do look like a man. I always use the mens room!! Like I said, it is common sense!!

    (my those three weeks went fast)

    Dressed as a woman, use the woman's room. I don't do this often though because I hate peeling off three to five layers to get there. So no beer, iced tea, coffee when I am dressed.

    Men's room or family room

    So far my "fem dressing" consists of pretty tame tops and jeans that are really gender neutral. What confuses people is the long hair, earrings, and my purse. Oh yes, let's not forget the visible breast development. Those latter items are with me regardless of the clothing style.

    Dressed as I usually am I choose the men's room to avoid uncomfortable issues and confrontations. I did have a humorous reaction from another male restroom user a couple weeks back but there was no confrontation; more like confusion on his part.

    Were I dressed much more fem, with makeup, I'd likely choose the women's room though. It does make for an interesting thought exercise.

    Hugs,

    Like Tina said, a single user restroom (male, female, family) if at all possible, just makes sense for me.

    Something I may try one day is to park the car sort of out of the way. Open the car door and hike that skirt up and go. If anyone did see me they'd think woman. From about 10' I pass.

    I have never been in this situation but i know one day it will happen. When it does if I am dressed I will use the womens. I just think, like a couple of others here, it's asking for trouble using a mens room dressed as a woman. I do think women are more tolerant than men.

    I am very nervous in the Ladies Room but believe it is the better choice. I used a busy casino Mens Room in Vegas recently while dressed and really shook up a nice elderly gentleman, he looked me over several times and said, "I don't think you belong here." I believe he was right.
    If I really have to go and the Mens is much closer I will use it. Although we may never be totally accepted or comfortable in either restroom it is great having the luxury to use either one.

    I only have very limited experience of this so I wouldn't try to advice anyone. But saying that using the ladies must be a safer bet than using the gents! The chances of anything happening are far less. If you are dressed as a girl use the girls room.

    Funny thing I almost always expect the women's room to be cleaner. But at some places its a catastrophe (and often a massacre). What's up with that? (No need to answer that lol). Gross

    I am surprised no one is talking about the law. In many states you can be arrested if you are a man and enter a ladies room (even dressed as a woman). The law does not change based on the clothes/makeup you wear. For those out there that are crossdressers (not transitioning) I hope you are being mindful of the law. For me it is the unisex family restroom.
