I always thought the US was a free country where an individuals freedoms to express and exist were constitutionally assured. Clearly, from this thread and others like it, it is far from the free utopia that it likes the rest of the world to think it is. The idea of having to go to the mens (room) when presenting as Kay would not be cricket. I suppose here in the UK and for that matter most of Europe, we actually do have the freedoms. We don't have stupid variations of discriminative laws between regions. If you present good enough to pass as a female then legally no one can tell if you are pre op TS, post op TS or a particularly good TV with out officially challenging you, and if they get it wrong boy are they in the crapper. So they don't (that does not include the prats who make derogatory comments, but their views mean nothing)
I was visiting a non LGBT pub recently, the land lord knew i was not born a woman, but he also new that he could not determine if I was pre, or post of just a TV so when i asked where the ladies was, he directed me with out hesitation. In fact I was told by a landlord friend of mine that because of this, the LGBT discrimation laws effectivly apply to any Tgirl presenting in public and not just girls certificated as transitioning. I think this must apply in retail too as I never ever have problems wanting to use ladies changing rooms or rest rooms.
So you ladies in the US just get out there and if you present as female then use the ladies and be done. Oh and vote for a decent administration that is not so ultra conservative and perhaps you will begin to enjoy some of the freedoms we have.
