Trans folk are supposed to do a "lived experience" - live as their gender ID via dress, pronouns etc before transition can begin. To be sure At my clinic, my psychiatrist asked if I'd lived as a man, I said yes, and he moved on. No checks or evidence required "Thorough" my arse

A friend who transitioned a few years ago (ftm) was 'fast tracked' because she was a butch lesbian who lived in jeans, dungarees and doc martens. She often complained about being mistaken for a man in the ladies loos....presume that counts as 'as good as'....
I remember being mistaken as a man at Glasgow University Library as I was entering the ladies room, a cleaner said "mate, the guys is up there." I was pre-T at the time so it made me happy, but I look back on it now and wonder how many masculine women have had to deal with that.

TBH that was just one of the odd things about this friends transition. She always said she hated that. ...he's (pronoun change) married a mtf & moved away. No contact with any old friends despite our support. This above all makes me aware of how this is a mental health issue too.

I was on holiday in Spain w/ a family member & we went into what we thought were the ladies loos next to hotel reception. The door was open & a cleaning trolly was blocking the other toilets. The look of abject horror on the man walking in as we were walking out was hilarious. 1

He even told us that we had been in the men's toilets in the form of a question. We said "but they were so clean, we didn't notice", laughed and walked away. I have to assume that the look on his face was because the thought of lady parts in "his" toilets shocked him so much...2
