That's not the case for all women. Having lived with one of those minimalist type unfeminine wives, mine would usually just brush her hair a bit and consider it all done for casual things like just going to the supermarket and such. Not every woman makes a big production out of everyday make up, hair and attire.
Perhaps not so much that it's hard work, but that they didn't count on NOT becoming the beautiful girl of their dreams, and not being treated like a real woman. Many of us dream about being a beautiful girl; and I can pretty much guarantee you that NONE of us fantasize about being a homely, frumpy woman with a male physique, facial structure, gait and voice. Yet that's what the future is for a lot of TS who prefer to ignore reality. There's only a very tiny percentage of us who could completely blend into the population as women; something is very often going to give us away. I think that great expectations vs reality is what causes most cases of 'buyers remorse' when it comes to transitioning. But yeah, it's certainly a lot of work for a mtf TS as opposed to what my ex wife's life was like most days. She didn't have to do anything to appear as a woman, being one.There are well documented cases of those who transitioned wishing to return back to the male ego because being femme is just plain hard work!
To a certain extent, the waiting is exacerbated even further, by the matter of fewer stalls vs the row of urinals on a wall. Count up both in any set of rest rooms and you'll find there are usually only half (or less) porcelain fixtures in a women's rest room vs a mans. A casual peek into the ladies rest room while the guy was mopping the floor with the door open, revealed five stalls; the men's room? five stalls and six urinals on the wall opposite the stalls.Look at the queues for the male Vs female toilets in a theatre.
