I’m a transguy who transitioned in the 2000s and have had top surgery. I toured a gym that has a beautiful sauna, steam room, and hot tub that I’d like to join, but clothes are not permitted in any of the above. I’m worried about running into trouble if I go naked.

The gym is like a Jewish YMCA and is adamantly LGBTQ+ friendly and even has reminders in the locker room that the space welcomes everyone. I asked the girl giving the tour about my concerns and she said to just wear a towel if I’m not comfortable, but I’m still a bit uncertain.

Do any of you guys go to nude men-only areas? Any tips?

I’m sure I won’t get assaulted because I’m a tough looking guy that most folks wouldn’t fuck with, but I don’t want to invite trouble.

    Update: an employee of the establishment, who is transmasculine, reached out to let me know that it is not at all friendly to trans people despite advertising as such. I’ve chosen to not join and I let their management know why. I figure I’ll give it a few years then try again, and will keep using Planet Fitness in the meantime.
