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.

Cis guy here, so forgive me if I'm overstepping bounds.

I've never been comfortable in places like this, and choose to avoid them, even though logically I've got no reason to be concerned as some people might. But it just doesn't jive with me; I'm not that comfortable with my body.

So, I salute your bravery when approaching this situation, especially with the additional concerns that you mentioned. You've got more courage facing this than I do, that's for sure. I hope everything works out well for you! Cheers
