I am a transgender masculine person. However I don’t look masculine enough which makes me
feel unsafe to go to the men’s bathroom. At the same time, going to a women’s bathroom makes
me uncomfortable.

I prefer going to washrooms when no one’s there. I wish there were more
unisex washrooms. I remember I once used an unisex toilet at IKEA. It was a nice experience.
However I wish I could have the courage to walk into a men’s room.
