I went to the beach with my sister yesterday. This was a new experience for me. I put a lot of thought into what I would wear, and settled on a bikini top and tight shorts. The shorts are Under Armour, and I think they actually are intended to be underwear, but they worked well for bottoms at the beach when I know I can’t wear a traditional bikini bottom.
We had agreed that she would pick me up at 10:00, and she called me at about 9:30 and said she was outside waiting for me. I told her I wasn’t really dressed yet, and she said that she was planning on changing into her suit at the beach and I could just do the same. Fine, so I threw everything into my bag and ran out the door.
I started feeling a little anxiety about changing at the beach, but my sister kept reassuring me that there was nothing to be worried about. It was a hot summer day and the restrooms were going to be very busy.
We parked and walked up and found a line to get into the women’s room, and I felt awkward standing there waiting. I felt like everyone who looked at me knew I was trans and was judging me. I mentioned that to my sister, and she said I looked just as much like a girl as everyone else in line. When I finally got inside and into a stall, it was nice to have some privacy to change. I was worried about that because in the men’s room there was just an open area where guys changed and showered.
We met up at the beach and my sister told me how cute I looked, and I admit it made me happy to hear that.
