I’ve always been unsure of how I should approach bathrooms with a consciousness concerning gender. As a (mostly) cis male, the natural choice for me would seem to be using the men’s bathroom. However, I also don’t want to be actively participating in and promoting a compulsory binary by continuing to make that choice without question. I’ve considered using female bathrooms as a sign of refusing to accept this binary, but I also wonder if such a rebellion would be effective or useful or even necessarily make sense. I’m just not sure.

I’ve always found that male bathrooms are the (smelly) magic unicorn place where my gender has never been questioned, even though I don’t pass most of the rest of the time. But I started getting looks and comments in the women’s room before I even transitioned! I think it’s ’cause the dudes are so nervous about whipping out their penises that they don’t look at one another. :p

Which, like you say, is different from whether I feel fear or anxiety about it.

It’s cool how it’s working for you right now!
