I understand it may make them uncomfortable, but at the same time: I've done all I can to pass. I'm to young to start on hormones, so at this point I'm transitioned as far as I can be. I try to use the family restroom whenever I can, to reduce discomfort for myself and others. But if there is no family restroom, I'll use the male restroom. Because I look to masculine to be in the female restroom, and get odd looks when I go in there. But at the same time I'm to feminine still to be in the male restroom.
I think the best option for the restroom issue is to make all restrooms gender neutral. It may come with some protection risks, but any *********, rapist, or any other bad person can walk into any restroom right now and prey on little girls/boys. There's no bouncer standing at the door of every restroom asking what your sex is, so I mean, what's really going to change if all restrooms are gender neutral?

Problem is it creates opportunity. Yes, they can walk into any bathroom right now, but a lot of crime arises from opportunity. Some guy sees a good looking girl walk in, they might be motivated more than they would have been. I was thinking transgender people should go to the one they identify as, or new laws should be made requiring a neutral gender bathroom (family bathrooms could be easily converted) and you can choose your gender identity's bathroom, or the open one.
In response to the Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter controversy (since someome mentioned it here) I had someone come to my school to speak on that issue, and in the flier it said this, which I never thought of befofe, which I found very interesting, and true.
