Bathing suit shopping is low key traumatic for pretty much all of us. Didn't matter if I was a size 6 or a size 12.

FWIW, buying the bathing suit is also the hardest part for me as a CIS woman. The questions you’re asking yourself in the morning match what maaaaany women think. You’ve got this though!!

98% of people think you're cool. the 2% control the narrative. I can understand how this is scary. I wish we could protect you easier. what would help you know you're cool with me. as a stranger in public? we have a cashier at our local grocystore and I always try to smile at them more than my usual amount. hoping they understand I think they are healthy

Oooooo you could order a bunch off Amazon, or Target, or whatever. Try them on in the comfort of your home, and then return the ones you don't like. I do that because I don't like public swimsuit buying either. I don't think any of us like it.

I'm not saying it's the same thing, but as a plus size girl, buying the bathing suit is much much more terrifying for me than wearing it 😅

Women come in different shapes and sizes. One thing you need to hang onto is your inner being. Get what feels the most comfortable stop thinking of what others think because that drives us crazy. Be true to yourself. They have some awesome short/skirt type bathing suits now. Don't deny yourself the rite to living life as you see fit. It's all unique to each of us trans straight gay or whatever. Remember, to thine own self be true. Ignore the haters the nasties. Btw I'm an 72 yr old boomer! Just live your life sweetie ♥️

Honestly most dedicated swim stores will be very helpful and I can guarantee you are not the first trans person to be looking for a suit. I used to work for a well known swim company and we had people all the time with the same concerns. The sales person should make you feel comfortable. If not, ask for another person to help. Use their expertise.

You are doing great! I can’t imagine the added stress this gives you on top of the usual bathing suit shopping hell we deal with as women. Like others have said, you’re gorgeous & probably passing more than you realize, if that’s any comfort.

as a CIs woman, I some days feel very confident in a skimpy bathing suit, other days I wear a swim shirt and shorts. honestly it's rarely about me, and more about how I think I'll be judged or oogled at the beach. I am worried about how others will react.

there are so many femme and fun options for cover ups that make the bathing suit situation cute and protective as well. Cover ups dont have to be boring or unfashionable. You got this!!

I missed some summers in the ocean with my daughter because I felt that I was too big. One summer, I realized that I needed to get over my self and get out there and enjoy life! I gained confidence and coincidentally lost weight too!

i started wearing uv protecting shirts last summer. you can get them at sports stores, and it both keep you covered and keeps your skin protected. you can do that for a top, with any bikini top that you like underneath.
