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

This is unfortunately a really complicated question. I'd answer it by saying, listen to your intuition and do what feels best for you. You have a right to use any bathroom you please, at any time. At the same time, you might live in a place where choosing that could be dangerous. I'd first say listen to your heart but then listen to your gut.
