As long as he was presenting himself as female it wouldn't matter to me whether he was passable as a woman or not, or if he'd had complete surgery or not. I can empathize that he feels more comfortable in the women's room because he feels he is actually a woman. I mean, I'm sure I'd do a double-take and have a little story to tell my husband after the fact, but I think I'd be fine with it. That's just me though.
I'd wager your in the majority. As a man if a self identifying woman walked into when I was doing my business I'd probably be a little startled, but fearful no or "skeevied" out no. Not sure I'm in the majority there. Also if a transitioning woman (aka: born man) walked it, I think I'd suffer some second hand embarrassment for her embarrassment and discomfort. Walking away from the whole thing feeling shitty that it happened in the first place. Again probably minority view there since 70% of transgenders have had a negative experience when entering a public bathroom.
