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.

At least here in Finland there is an excemption that can be granted on medical grounds which allows people to wear their bathing suit in saunas. There is even a badge that can be sown on to signal this. I always imagined it was for this exact purpose.

Perhaps you could get a statement from your dr and discuss it with the venue?

I am a cis man, so I don't have any direct experience with this sort of thing though. Good luck!
