Hi! I am making that post to ask for help and your opinions. I am prety much fully transitioned socially, as I use my chosen name, pronouns, dress femme and stuff like that. But I still get taken as a man most of the time due to my voice and facial hair, and there comes my question. I am not sure what bathrooms I should be using? Coz on the one hand I try to look as passing as I can, but on the other I clearly dont yet, so I am worried about geting is some unpleasent situation. Especialy that I can tell by the way people treat me that they are more willing to accept just a dude dressed in womans clothing, rather than trans girl. What should I do? :c

Update: I have gathered courage and have dacided to use them, coz well I am a girl and I gotta start geting used to it

Personally, this is a big reason why I still wear a mask on public. It completely covers any facial hair and I can usually get by using the bathroom without saying much. Other than that, I would just go for using the women's room. The vast majority of people just want to go in, do their business, and get out, and don't pay much attention to anyone else. Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that you'll run into some nut job who'll freak out, and sadly that's just the world we love in right now.
