Notes

I wore these speedos for my first ever swim after top surgery. Before that, I hadn’t swam in over 10 years, despite swimming a lot as a kid. When asked to be on the front cover of Gscene magazine, I pushed the trans swimming sessions, but was shocked they blacked out the pool, so it looks like I’m naked for no reason!
