Trans Flasher Confronted at YMCA

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

A couple weeks ago, I walked into the women’s locker room at the Prospect Park YMCA in Brooklyn. I’d joined the gym the day before, and planned to kick off my new membership by swimming laps.

At first, I thought she was confused about which locker room she was in — something that occasionally happens when someone sees me in the women’s restroom and briefly panics, thinking that they’ve walked into the men’s room.

I think it's more than just Abrahamic religions that have problems with nudity. The US is definitely fucked up in this regard, though.

Yeah it's legal most places in America... to go top less including those that are lopsided and I have yet to see that at the petrol shop.
