I spent years dealing with the uncomfortable feeling of wearing female swim suits and having the tight piece riding up so part of my butt was exposed. I got to wear swim trunks this past summer and it was so wonderful – no butt flashing from me.

We had nudist beaches around in Germany, so no clothes at all. Also no watching (staring and also peeping is frowned upon). I grew up only wearing shirts because if the sun on the beach on vacation.
Still, I am cis female, i wanted to wear something on top in my puberty. But as a child I grew up, as others, with being a naked on the beach. Usually….

Even without the trans layer (to which I heavily relate), this is so problematic.

I used to love swimming, I could be all day long in the water, i always had those special shirts to avoid sun burns, but then as I grew older my family tried to convince me to use bikinis, I didn’t want that, and they forced me to wear one under the shirt… I guess I understand the reasoning, but I now avoid swimming at all costs, I love being on the water, but seeing everyone near me, my body showing because of the swimming suit, I just can’t, I miss it so much

I think my mom finally understood a bit a year or two ago, she made me use swimming suits to go to the beach, even if I didn’t swim, the beach is far away from anything, so no one is there, she kept saying “no one is gonna see you, you shouldn’t cover up so much” she insisted, again and again, until I said “I don’t care for other people, i dont want to see myself”. We haven’t gone to the beach since, and we live 5 minutes away
