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.

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?
