    I was wondering, if you go to a facility and they have a restroom for men and one for women, which one do you go to and does this change? I'm sorry if it's a really dumb question haha I'm always curious about the most mundane things

    No problem.
    I got the mens room, since I'm still physically male and not planning to change that.
    I'm actually in favor of unisex bathrooms, but I don't think society is quite ready for that yet.

    I really really like unisex bathrooms, but it really depends. Most of the time I appear female so I'll use that bathroom, but if I think I'll start using the men's once I'm able to pass more easily.

    It is a valid question. I usually use the women's room, since that's how I appear, but if there's a unisex bathroom nearby, i'll opt for that more often than not.

    Yup. They're just not very common. My college campus has a couple.

    I think that the best one to go in to would probably be the one you look most similar to. The main purpose of gendered bathrooms is probably for people not to get nervous going to the bathroom in front of someone of the opposite gender. At least that's the best I can figure.

    If possible, I use a unisex restroom, or a single occupancy restroom. If not possible, I'll go by how I am presenting, the current traffic volume, and which option I am least likely to have a confrontation. If I am around people I know and not out to, I'll go by biology.

    I go into a unisex bathroom if there is one, but I generally just use the women's bathroom because that's how I'm seen. Ideally, I would be able to use whatever bathroom matches my gender on any given day, but since I can't pass as a guy, that is just not possible.
