Interesting Article

[Elaine]

I am a long time social nudist and 25 year member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).  I frequently visit nude beaches, nude parks, nude resorts, homes of other nudists, even been on a nude cruise.  AANR oversees these activities to ensure that they are family friendly and that the behavior remains respectable.  Yes, there are nude places that are open to swingers and lookey-loos, but NOT AANR facilities.

A nudists core value is total body acceptance so one will see people of all kinds, not just the preconceived notion of only the beautiful and handsome.

AANR publishes a monthly magazine that discusses nude life, AANR facilities, AANR events, and other nudists – which leads me to this post.  This month’s volume features a transgender lady visiting one of the AANR resorts.  A very interesting article about her life experiences, including tasteful pictures.  She discusses how much AANR has been supportive of her, and how accepting of her other nudists are.  To me it is doubly encouraging.  Reading the article made me proud to be a crossdresser and a nudist.

I have no problem with family (emphasis on family) social nudism. If it were perfectly natural to be nude, we would all be born that way.  Smile…

Hi Elaine,

Is it possible to post a link to the article?

Kate. – I will try to post a link.

Kate – on second thought – I don’t think it would be proper for me to link the AANR Bulletin article to CDH since it contains personal information and pictures with partial nudity.  Likewise I don’t think it would be proper to link an article from CDH to the Bulletin for similar reasons.  However, if perchance I ever run into to the author I will ask for a sanitized version to share.

Regards,

Elaine

Thanks Elaine, I understand, good call!

There are many misconceptions about the nudist lifestyle which are mostly untrue. I had no idea there was a national magazine! Then again, why not?

Transgender at AANR places I can imagine. Cross dressing doesn’t seem to work well. Do you keep those lifestyles separate?

Eileen – yes I do keep the lifestyles separate.  A few of my closest nude friends know I cross-dress, but most do not.

Nudism never appealed to me because I hate my body and will do everything I can cross dressing to create the illusion of another gender with a different body. I have no problem with other people being nude if thats their thing.
