Tips on MtF passing and encouragement?

its actually super easy to use the other bathroom! my advice is try to make sure there is actually space so you don't have to stand awkwardly waiting and questioning yourself. You also don't need to talk to anyone, most people just want to be left alone. Also, 99 percent of the time, no one actually cares. most of us (people who use the womens rest room) are too busy either praying no one can tell that we're on our period, trying to finish quickly so we aren't late, or just ingoring everything else and busy with our own thoughts

what fent said, but also I believe in you!!!

ok so please don’t use the women’s restroom until youre like fully fully passing because a lot of women have trauma for sexual harassment or assault the the restroom is a vulnerable place that women won’t feel safe in if you don’t pass
i mean im excited for you to go on this journey, just treat women’s bathroom as the goal and final prize

Very good point. One of my greatest fears is to either generally make someone uncomfortable (I really don't want people not feeling good in my presence) or have transphobes be there. And that's the point: this only applies if I don't pass, ans I don't exactly know if I actually pass.

Grow your hair out, if you can, and try to find some vocal exercises to make your voice sound more feminine.
I have a YT link to a vocal exercise if I can find it.
Also, don't go to the women's bathroom before transitioning! I know you probably want to, but it's for the better that you don't until you've transitioned.

Maybe something I should add:
It's not that I actually don't pass, it's that I don't know if I pass.
I have long hair, painted nails, wear padded bras and oftentimes crop tops, all of those are considered feminine. And I have pretty feminine facial features (I sometimes get mistaken for a girl).
The problem is that I don't know if this is enough to pass, and I always look too masculine for my own liking, even if others might find me very feminine.
That's the reason I asked for tips on passing. Thank you for all your feedback, hope to receive more tips!

Also, does it help zo go with another (cis or passing trans) girl so it doesn't look suspicious or she can support/defend me if there are any issues?
