Even as someone who’s only a year into transition, I get a LOT more stares in a men’s room than I do a women’s room (which is actually zero) at this point. I have a good friend who was already pretty femme pre-transition and if she’s in a men’s room, guys will absolutely turn around and check the sign. As much as people think they can instantly clock a trans person, it’s far less the case than you might think, and a trans man going into a women’s restroom is going to be a problem just as the opposite is true.
