Hi Jay, Good for you! I fully agree with Eve, by the way. There's nothing odd at all about walking into any restroom and not knowing the layout. I can guarantee few things but this is one: no one will notice your taking in the layout of the facilities. It is what it is. One needs to know which and where. To me the most awkward thing is when, say, the stall(s) is busy. What to do? :-) Hang around and wait? No, that's kinda creepy. Probably best to move to a different restroom or wait outside. We're all pulling for you and look forward to hearing more about your experiences. Hugs, Emma

Hiya Jay. It Is So good that You have got somebody on Your side. Please do Not take any messing from anyone at all. You have done the right thing, getting Your Manager to put the E-Mail's out. Jay, You can be very Proud , of how far that You have come, so far, and You Will continue to do so well. I Am glad that Your Husband is being supportive of You. Hopefully, Your Brother will eventually come round. Jay, have a Good Weekend, Take Care Young Man, and My Very Best Wishes, Stephanie. xoxo

I think you just have to get on with it and not worry about what others might think, or how you appear, just do what you've gotta do, wash your hands, dry them and walk out just the same as if you've just used the ladies. Remember that you don't have to hold a conversation in the"bogs", it's quite normal not to, unless it's someone who you know. This is what I've done whenever I've used the ladies, and it works for me. It's also true of most mundane activities, such as in the supermarket. I feel that if I start thinking about what others think or what I look like, I'd be read. Glad everything is going so well for you, Cheers, Eve

I await with eager trepidation !

Today I was driving to the board of elections for election training. I was in boy mode and had my hair in a pony tail. I was not trying to look female at all and never during the entire five minute conservation did I try to disguise my voice. When I went into a parking structure near the meeting location to park and I asked the attendant if he knew if this was the right place to park for the election training. He called me "mam" and said he was not aware of the class. He then asked was I trying go to the meeting place for the "league of women voters." he said he could direct me there. I could tell now that he thought I was a woman. He finally directed me to the right location after calling me "Mam" twice more and asked me again if I really was looking for a meeting with the league of woman voters. When he gave me the directions he was really patronizing to me, asking me twice did I understand the directions. (After I left I was thinking he thought I was a woman and in his mind did not expect me to be good with directions)
