Confused beach ranger ...., you can't be ....

[Wendy me]

Love my beach miles to walk without seeing
Any one ..., I went for a long walk yesterday
Black bikini bottoms way skimpy than
I usely would wear .... top was no more
Than a push up bra would cover and a
Mesh beach cover up....,

I was walking no one around at all
So I did it..., took the cover up off
Then off with the top..., skimpy bikini
Bottom .,. That's all long blonde and silver
Hair blowing in the warm air ......,

I felt wicked relaxed ... warm air sun
Loveing it big time .... now I am in the water
Abought knee deep ...,

What could go on to stop this. ????
I hears atv coming fast my top and cover up
Up on the beach to keep from getting wet
I start to get out ou the water....
when the park ranger pulls up .....,

Mam .... she said there is no nudeity
On the beach .... you can't be toppless
I said ok and got my top ...,she said
I am going to give you a warning ..,
She got her ticket book out ...,

Name ? I said paul... she said Paula?
No paul I said she stoppped looked
At me and give me the look like wtf ....
She said sorry I thought ..... never mind
I said do I need to put my top on ??

She said what ever .... and rode off...

Now that is funny you really sent her for a loop

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Sorry Folks but I'm not amused by this one.

Wendy, you obviously intended to present as female by wearing the bikini. Then, when confronted with breaking the rules want to assert your male gender to get away with it?

You can't have it both ways.

[Pat]

You can't have it both ways.

Actually, in this case, he can. The laws are written such that a ticket would be dismissed.

[Lauri K]

Beach patrol was probably low on ticket writing and hunting to make the daily quota, otherwise probably would not have even bothered you.

Surely there are more important crimes to investigate than a lone topless swimmer on a otherwise abandoned section of beach..............

If I were on watch I would not engage topless bathers unless a complaint came in for doing something really, really lewd

[AllieSF]

Good one Wendy. Linda, whether her intent was to present as a woman, monkey, or eagle is not the issue. She was asked by a Park Ranger, legally empowered to enforce park rules, and Wendy complied with the Ranger's request. Also, she told the truth when asked. Would you have her lie to the Ranger and obviously break the laws? I really do not understand your point of view. Please clarify with more details please.

Nothing wrong with subverting the patriarchy's own insane rules (obsession with sex assigned at birth) to get away with subverting the patriarchy's own insane rules (that it is somehow ok for men to be topless, but not women).

I say VIVA! La luta continua!

[Kelli Jo-ann]

Oh I loved that one.

[alwayshave]

I'm a lawyer so I can argue both sides of anything, but I may agree with Linda. We all want to present as women and use the ladies room based upon that presentation. However, when in the beach equivalent of the ladies room, Wendy bails and gives here male name. I get it, regarding the legal name. But I figure if you present as a women, you are a women.

[AllieSF]

I guess from what you and others are saying is that it would make you and the other the dissenters happy if Wendy lied to the Park Ranger?? If the Park Ranger then hassled her and maybe gave her some type of ticket, or made a bigger scene than necessary, that would make all of you even happier. Now please tell us exactly what you would have done in Wendy's situation. Yes, she took off her top on a deserted beach. Who was she offending if no one was there except a nosy Park Ranger who also could have left her well enough alone, or just asked her to put her top back on. However, going back to the original post, who the hell cares what she is wearing, because legally, not your collective view of what is correct in your world, she was OK. Maybe you would also feel better if she also wore a bigger cover up top and less skimpy bikini bottoms. You know so as not to give you who may or may not have ever gone to the beach in a women's bikini, one piece or tankini, a bad name, or even worse our TS sisters here and there.

Wendy did not bail, she followed the law that says it is a minimum of a misdemeanor if she lies to a police official, which I believe a Park Ranger is, having the power to arrest and give out tickets on Park controlled or managed land. You all are making a really big deal over a simple, harm no one, except maybe your own sense of correctness, situation that was quickly resolved with no hard feelings on anyone's part. The beach is no way near being like a ladies room. If someone dresses as a woman is that illegal, what about when they have a beard, or wear a skirt and no top? You all can complicate life as you wish, but it really is a waste of others time and serves what purpose for the greater world? To me it leans toward those that do not accept us and who believe that we shouldn't exist and definitely should not be let out of our cages to interact with the real world. Fashion police??

I am not saying that you have to like what she and many others do. However, to criticize her as some of you have done makes no sense. What would you say or do if you saw a hot young girl doing the same on a deserted beach except for you? As someone said above, some of us Americans are some of the most prudish people around when compared to other countries. We really need to just relax and enjoy our own lives and not let a rare situation like this ruin our day.

This
Perhaps all women should just wear a veil and a long black dress with long sleeves...
Men should wear a robe that covers them from neck to ankle...
And then we can stone men dressing as women???
How does that sound????

[Wendy me]

Ok let's go back if I had said my name is Wendy.
Got a ticket ... or arrested ... then I might
Have got into trouble for saying I was a
Femail ....

Now I have been stopped driveing
And gave the police man my license
And regesation ... and totaly dressed
And makeup done ... and had the cop
Look at my license and me .. and said that's me
Took care of why I got stopped and been on my way

It dose you no good to lie when you have
A encounter with law offercers ... just
Not a good practice a good way of starting
Trouble for your slefe ....

[Maria_mtf]

Best story I have heard in a while actually made me laugh out loud

[Sissy_Michelle]

Wendy,

Wow, that would have been awesome. I wish I had a beach close by where I could walk along the beach in my bikini or lay out...

Funny thing is she didn't show up till after you took your top off... So was she spying on you or did someone else call them? I don't believe in random.

[Kelsey dresses]

Doesn't matter you are still a,male if they ask don't lie. What you gonna argue that you are a girl. She was just jealous you we hotter than she was.

[Wendy me]

Yes the national sea shore park rangers
Big time ... don't lie to them ... their beach ..

Wore my bikini today kept my top on
Lol was a good Wendy ...

Just so we don't run out of beach fun
I bought a new bikini ... sales girl cough too
On ... she knew and said I am sure your girl
Freind will love this ... I told she has to buy her own this one is mine...

[Dana44]

Pretty funny actually., however if I was out there i wont take my top off. But wow, you did pretty well talking to the ranger.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Wendy , And the look on the ranger's face was just PRICELESS ! ......

[IleneD]

And the winner of the category of best Swimsuit Performance goes to..........[ the envelope please];....Wendy Me!
{an amazing story, darling. Love it. I am just now beginning to explore the possibilities of female swimsuits. You are a master of it now.}

[Lana Mae]

I think it is a cute story! No bathing suit for this plus size old cow! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Sorry Girls, but nothing anybody has posted has changed my position.

I still think she was wrong for wanting to have it both ways.

Wendy was dressing and posing as a woman. She wanted all the privileges of being female. From the post it would appear that she passes without question. Then when she doesn't want to follow the societal rules assigned to women she flaunts them. When caught breaking those rules she runs to her birth gender and claims male privilege!

Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy in this?

[Wendy me]

Linda.. I was not getting away with anything
Yes I was dressed in my bikini my long hair
Big girly sunglasses light make up and
Red lipstick ... for sure I was ...

Now when the ranger asked for my name
I told the truth Wendy is not my leagle
Name so not being truthful could have got
Me arested ...

Was I wrong to be dressed in a bikini
And then get toppless yes I was but tell the truth
It was wicked ausme totally cool ... exciting
A rush for sure .... standing there toppless
Ranger right there ... omg pounding heart

Wrong as I could be for sure ...fun as hell
Will I do that again ???? It's going to be a long summer
I just might .., but I will tell you I will be
A lot more careful ....

[phylis anne]

I have read all the comments on this and they are made from ones personal observation of the situation, I loved it ,but I think the ranger excercised " discretion is the better of valor " if the state wendy lives in is highly supportive of the t/g community she could have opened up a real can of worms !, I spent many years in alaska before moving down to care for my wife the last 10 yrs there was spent in a form of risk management many is the time I overlooked something for the greater good and indeed I could have done plenty in those situations but it would have been over the top overkill as it were other than that I would have loved to see that rangers face

I don't see any hypocrisy in Wendy's actions.
The hypocrisy is in the societal norm that says that the female breast is shameful but that the male's is not AND in those that support and entrench that position.
Also anyone simultaneously seeking to subvert societal notions of gender conformity and then assert arbitrary notions of how women should behave... now THAT is hypocrisy imho.

[Aunt Kelly]

Dani,
Thank you for putting it so well. The laws, and the "societal norms" from which they were born, are what is screwed up. I can bare my chest, even if I have breasts, provided that I have a penis, but not if I don't. WTF?
