I wear a one-piece which has some support Triumph make such a costume. However I allways wear a gaff underneath to give a flat abdominal profile.

I've pulled off a bikini before... but it was in a club dress with open sides at a foam party lol. I've never actually gone swimming in a girls suit, and it might be a bit since I'm still stealth/closeted as of the moment. However, I definitely like cute one-piece suits too!

With late-Spring/Summer approaching, I've been thinking about swimsuits, and I want to try something new this year. Because I'm male-bodied, and my legs were (until recently) very hairy, I was pretty much stuck with board-short style trunks. Now that I've been working on de-hairing my body, I really want to try a one-piece with shorts that end around mid-thigh. I can't really wear a bikini, as it wouldn't quite look right (no boobs, you see).

So, what do you wear when you go swimming? One-piece? Bikini? Board-shorts? What?

Floral print one piece, it's just so cool feeling the water rush by, as you dive in....

I can't WAIT to go bikini shopping now that I'm post op! Finally, I can go swimming and not need to spend 20 minutes prepping and half a $15 roll of industrial weatherproof duct tape. And should I need to use the restroom while I'm there, I don't have to pack up and go home to do it.

I want to get a brand new quality bikini for my first tape-free excursion!

Swimsuits..

I haven't gone to the beach or pool in a while honestly, several years in fact.

I always wore one pieces, and I plan on wearing them in the future. I don't like bikinis; Too feminine and they show off my body.

Male bathers is the only time that I go out without my bra on, I still have not the courage to purchase a ladies bathers, and would probable have difficulty in getting ones to fit.

I typically swim in a loose t-shirt and shorts, though when I'm forced to wear female bathing suits I'll wear a one-piece, since those don't draw quite as much attention to my chest as two-pieces do.

Well my current "boy suit" is a square legged speedo. I used to wear a regular old speedo when I swam in high school and board shorts when I was a lifeguard. As I move towards transitioning, I am thinking about buying a short sleeved rash guard. This will allow a presentation of either gender and will help protect my skin while out in the sun.

HI there my name is Dani,, I am mtf. I would like to go swimming someday and need some advice on smoothing out the crotch area to a near perfect feminine crotch ... any suggestion and I seen some of the early posts one says try a triathalon swimsuit and I have severy bikinis and one piece tried everything from gaffs and skirted but I want to go with whats in style .. Thanks I will waiting for a response

I would rather wear a swimsuit that is more like a t-shirt and some shorts. I don't want to just go swimming in my current shorts and shirts, as that would proabbly ruin them, but I think wetsuits look pretty cool. I'd never want to wear the current, trendy bathing suits like bikinis or board shorts.

Then again, I also can't swim.

i would love to be able to wear a bikini to the beach this summer i have seen some that look amazing, but as I haven't even started to transition yet it would be impossible.

Well not impossible but it would look really strange. I will probably be wearing board shorts this year, hopefully this will change in a few years.

Love <3

A one-piece for me. The only way to make those lovely "love handles" disappear.

It's almost time to go swimming, the lake is a toasty 37 degrees, and no ice. B)

I voted "other". I bought my first swimsuit last week with the help of my best girl friend (and the help of an iPhone to take and text pictures from the dressing room). I ended up getting a tankini with a skirt bottom and I LOVE it! It actually shows off what little boobs I have grown so far and makes my butt and legs look great! I actually laid out in it today ;-)

i voted monokini. im blessed with one of those bodies that easily converts MTF and back without hormones, so with a little makeup, nobody would ever guess. but i spent years working outdoors, so my musculature is very dense, but not large. i sink to the bottom and stay there, so i avoid the water laike the plague.

So, it's almost summer 2012. Naked swim was just the thing on the French Riviera and Calif beaches back in the '70's. Ahhhh memories. It would be interesting to see how the other transgrannies feel this year... it has been awhile since you posted on this topic.

I only wear one-peices... Showing off my body is not my style haha I honestly don't think anyone needs to know what my body looks like, except maybe my "future spouse"... :)

Changed my mind on this TOPIC

SWIM NAKED!

In a closed pool, in the dark, at night, no full moon - only me and my 61 year ole naked androgynous body!

LOL - Haven't done that since the 70's in San Diego. :)

      I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.

      I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here.    Hugs,   Charlize

      This tread is based on the titling of a bill.  That is what the judges ruling spoke to.  Please keep on topic.  If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic.      Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children.  Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues.  Then, suddenly, parental rights become important.   Hugs,   Charlize

      What do you do when you feel triggered?
    • Heather Shay
      kind of in a null state

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.
