always autumn

Finally let myself be completely naked in the women's locker room, and it was so incredibly liberating. (seir.asktransgender)

So, I've been super open about my transition — I am openly trans at work, I talk about being trans with strangers,
and I share a lot online ~ but the women's locker room has been the one place where I have hidden my identity, that
is, until today.
1 spend a lot of time at the gym — I'm there every day - but I have always either gone back to my apartment to
shower or wrapped myself in a towel and changed quickly in the corner.
tis so not like me to behave this way; I love my body and I am very comfortable with it, and while countless girls walk
around the locker room naked, I felt like I couldn't, even though I wanted to, because I still have my penis.
Well, today, I finally said, “fuck it," took off my clothes after my workout, and walked naked to the showers. After I
was done, I got ready in front of the mirror naked as well. I definitely received a couple of disapproving looks, but no
one said anything.
It was so incredible to not feel ashamed of my body and just go about my business as I normally would at home.
I live in Manhattan and work out at a gym in Soho, so I figured that this is as safe a place as any to push the
envelope. I'm not sure how this will play out, but I am tired of behaving like I don't deserve to be comfortable in the
locker room that I pay for just like everyone else.

Locking this thread because the transphobes are out in force tonight and I'm tired of removing comments. OP did
nothing wrong. Trans women are women.
