Life is confusing lately. I feel pulled in a lot of different directions. I have an unbreakable bond with Chris, but for years we've lived more like a pair of slobby old bachelor brothers than like an actual couple.

I can totally relate to the avoidance of public restrooms thing. I did that for a long time after I started to transition. Hell, even before I transitioned, I tended to get the "excuse me, sir, you're in the ladies room..." thing. But after I started to transition, I was even more afraid of being called out for being in the "wrong" restroom by guys. Probably because I was more afraid of the potential for violence. Even after being on T for several years and having top surgery, it took awhile before I wasn't still on hyper-alert going into public restrooms. It's been over 7 years now, and there are places I'm still not comfortable going. I've been in the men's locker room at my gym exactly once. Even now, I change before I leave work to head for the gym, and then don't change again until I get home. Then there are times like last weekend, headed home from a road trip, when I went into the restroom of a truck stop wearing my kilt and flagging orange & pirate on the left, totally by accident, I swear! It wasn't until I got back to the car that I realized it and thought "OK, maybe that wasn't such a good idea." :P
