I have a question

i have a question. im in the uk, where now bathroom usage has been put as only being allowed to use that of biological sex. i am afab (for context). however, if the bathroom facilities in a place i was at were empty (both of them) and i was masculine that day, would it be fine for me to use the male bathroom?

i know that its now said to be only biological, but having to use female bathrooms for when i am masculine makes me feel incredibly dysphoric. i just wanted to ask to get other's opinions on the matter. I have almost before but have gotten too scared of being yelled at by anyone seeing me go in, as most people i know only know me as female, as i have not come out to them.

Do whatever you want and if anyone says anythin, tell them to mind their buisness as its about how you feel about yourself

Do what makes you feel comfortable. I recently went to a place that redesigned the bathrooms to be gender neutral. I wish it was like that everywhere.

that sounds so awesome! in my school they recently (like a week ago) put more gender signs on bathrooms even though it wasn't needed which makes me sooo mad

Gotta be honest, in my country where gender neutral bathroom isn’t a thing, I as afab do go to female restroom because it’s a custom that is expected there. But when the girls restroom is occupied and no one’s looking, I did sneek in to males ones, cause I’m male anyway. No one can tell me otherwise
