chosen.content: If you feel uncomfortable using a bathroom that is designated for a gender identity that is not your own, it is important to respectfully voice your discomfort. A polite way to address the situation is to directly express your feelings, for example, “I’m sorry, but this bathroom is meant for [Insert gender], and I’m not comfortable using it. Can you direct me to one meant for males?” You could also introduce the concept of safe spaces by asking the trans person, “Would you prefer if I waited to use the bathroom until after you leave?” Being open-minded, respectful, and understanding is a great way to begin challenging societal prejudices and taboos.

rejected.content: You could try a respectful and kind approach such as saying "Excuse me, could I ask what pronoun you use? I'm not sure which bathroom you would feel most comfortable using" or "I'm not sure if this is your restroom, could you tell me where I could find the restroom for my gender?" Alternatively, you could be more direct by saying "I'm not comfortable sharing a bathroom with someone of another gender" or "I'm only comfortable using this bathroom for people of my gender." If you experience backlash, it may be helpful to reach out to supportive resources such as trans-specific organizations or hotlines.
