Only in Vegas

My new theory, it that there are not "mens" and "womens" restrooms, but only "pants" and "dresses" restrooms. I have not seen a sign on a restroom in years that says "mens" or "womens", they all have pictures. So, I have better justification for using the "dresses" restroom when I'm wearing a dress than anyone has for assuming that the sign is supposed to mean "women" when very few women wear dresses now.
Maybe I'll make a point of that if I'm ever in Vegas, it wouldn't bother me in the least to be banned from life from a casino.

As I have said elsewhere, When I am presenting as Susan I use the women's rest room. I would feel very awkward dressed as I am to go into the men's room

Thank you Susan, I think if I were not presenting as Paula, and Susan came into the Men's loo I would be more than a little put out. We have to consider other people's reactions and i think more peopel are happy with how we present than we realise.

Since I got my wig, I have been using the womens room mostly. The women never look twice at me, and it feels more natural. When I use the mens I always feel uncomfortable, and often cause some confusion. I've done it though to avoid making the women feel uncomfortable about a guy being there.

Being a newer resident here in Vegas and starting my transition slow to full time femme, I'm glad things are becoming easier for our community in this state!
