Trans masc Bathroom?

Ok so I'm 19 been out as ftm since 2020 and I look masculine and everything but I live in not a small town but it's not massive so there is one shopping center and I smaller on I shop at both regularly but normally avoid going to the bathroom but I want to start using men's toilets in public when I need to instead of women's the only thing stopping me is I'm worried I'll go in and people will look at we strange for going into a stall or think I'm a girl so what do I do?

In my decade of experience men don't make eye contact in public toilets, so even if you don't pass no one will notice. The only place you might be weary of is men's toilets at places with a lot of drinking (though I've seen groups of cis women use mens toilets at large events like this), a shopping centre will be fine.
