swimming while trans:
I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico around water
I learned how to swim at age 5 and can swim like a fish
I used to LOVE swimming for rejuvenation and spiritual healing
I haven& #39;t been in over 3 years, and it hurts me
being trans makes it impossibly scary

Every single thing you see hurled around twitter from transphobic assholes would be running through my head the entire time. I& #39;m sure there are bathing suits that work and blah blah, but also my fucking hair is a disaster. I just kinda gave up on swimming until further notice.
can& #39;t remember my age, but I remember being embarrassed to swim without a shirt after some point in youth, or even change in front of people without a shirt. i remember wondering why no other guys found it weird to take off their shirt casually.
