@oldladyplays@wargamers.social I was actually at the beach today and was thinking about exactly this. I feel really lucky bc I know I pass really well. So I was in my swimsuit and sitting on this packed beach. And I see guys checking me out. And it crosses my mind, "if any of these guys knew, they'd be so mad."
We shouldn't have to be society's "dirty little secret." But because we are, we feel so unsafe in spaces where we're more exposed, or vulnerable. And that sucks. We should be able to exist in peace.

@CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @oldladyplays@wargamers.social That is so great idea! Many nb/trans people I have been talking to gave up swimming for years, because of too much of minority stress etc.
Fortunately I pass well and it took me "only" two weeks of stress to adjust swimsuit and water resistant make-up to be able to go to public beach in bikini.
