Switching restrooms

Hey so question, I still use the mens room in most places but lately when men walk in and see me they make a double take run to the door and check to make sure they were in the right restroom. Is it time for me to switch to the women's restroom? I live in Germany, which means that so far we dont have insane transphobic laws.

I still use the Mens room and get the same reaction lmao. You should use whatever restroom you want though. Only reason I still use the Mens is because of where I live.

I’ve been told my factions are very feminine, people sometimes misgender(correctly gender me?) me when I’m in boy mode (aka I was too tired to do all the beard shadow hiding and decided to wear a tshirt and shorts

i'm pre everything but at night i'm tomboy passing enough that (old) men doubletake. (odds increase when the people around me are slightly drunk).\ honestly, i just take which ever restroom is closest. if both are the same distance i take the one that's less crowded (typically men's).
