My outing to the casino and using the washroom shouldn't have to be such a problem.

I went out to a casino last Wed night. When I was on the floor walking around waiting for the bar to open up it was such a mixed bunch of emotions from people.... People "men" can look at me with so much hatered, other men/women talk to me as if I'm just another human being enjoying simple conversation and then there's other people that want to take pictures, buy me shots, have drinks, include me with their group of friends lots of laughs and all of us have a real good time! This crowd is mostly women that are out and about with their friends. Its just such a mixture of emotions from both ends of the spectrum..... Hatred vs being liked and accepted.

Anyway to my point, I had to use the washroom after a couple beer so I used the men's washroom as I normally do. It was very crowded with adults and College kids in there and I could tell they didn't like my presence. When I left I heard someone yell out what the F is that. What a bunch of cowards to yell out behind your back....
In my province we don't have a policy on using male/female washrooms like other states so it is left up in the air with no legal direction which one to use. One of my first public outings a couple years ago was to an event put on by the local Imperial Court. They said they would like everyone to use the washrooms with "the gender that they mostly identify with." Of course for me that is male as I only get out a few times a month. I'm not even 50/50. Ever since this event I have done just that unless I have a group of GG's that I go into the washroom altogether with. Some folks on here like to use the women's washroom and treat it like its a milestone to reach a special throne and celebrate that they can actually be in there. I have always felt out of place and uncomfortable trying to do that. If I was TS this wouldn't be an issue at all but I am a hetro male.....
Anyway I know some might think I'm looking for trouble but its not the case. I really feel out of place and until our province changes the laws I will do what I'm doing and hope for the best. What the heck, they can make room for me as I sure am not in there loitering, being an idiot and bothering any of them. I go quickly into a stall, get out quick and wash up and go.
Why the F can't this world live and let live?
Rant done LOL
