Pretty much every time I need to use a bathroom in public, my brain walks through this thought process. Even in AFAB spaces I get confused and questioning looks but thankfully not a lot of problems but still. I really appreciate places that have single occupant non-gendered bathrooms. Just let us go in peace.

The weird (maybe not so weird?) thing is that I'm transfem (AMAB) and I can relate to this a lot, in the sense that I just kinda default to the mens' room because I'm scared some conservative will make a scene if I go in the ladies' room or at the very least I'll get stared at.
I totally can understand that. It boggles me why going to the bathroom is such a contention point for so many people. I still get weird looks in the "ladies" room, but since I pretty clearly pass (at least at a 2nd glance), even when I'm wearing androg/masc clothes, it feels like the safer option.
same, I'm terrified of using the ladies', genuinely worried I'll end up removed from the building by a security guard or some shit
AMAB, using the same one, utterly not passing and feeling really uncomfortable in the process. But urinals (and honestly most cisgender men) legitimately creep me the fuck out - not that I can even aim without an external tool anymore.
Same issue I still have, just flip the tough choices, even after going over 2 years strong on HRT...
