[quote=Gaia]Sorry all, I had to step into a meeting.

[quote]If you're dressed like a woman and look like a woman I don't see how anyone even looks differently at you? Lots of women look manly. [/quote]

Depending on how closely you pay attention and how much you care, some people can tell. I'm also nervous and anxious to begin with so I may just be paranoid that people are looking at me.

[quote]What can someone like me do in the future to make your life easier if I see you in a ladies room, besides smile and seem welcoming? If there is a line, should I offer you my place in it if I'm in front of you, or would it be better not to draw attention. And if there isn't really a line, would you like some friendly conversation about the weather, or not, or depends on the day? [/quote]

Just be kind. I normally don't like to talk with strangers and am very quiet in general, so I like to be ignored. But I had somebody compliment me on my shoes and outfit and that made my entire day. We talked a little about fashion and a left with a recommendation for a shoe company that makes comfortable flats for larger feet. I knew that she knew but she never mentioned it.

[quote] OP help me understand - are you close to completing transition or still beginning phases? What kind of experiences have you had so far in women's bathrooms? [/quote]

"Completing transition" is different for every trans person. I have not and will not have bottom surgery, but I have been on HRT for years. 
I've had women scream at me and call me nasty things. I've had parents cover their children's eyes. I've also had a lot of absolutely non-story experiences where the women in the bathroom didn't care that I was in there.
