Navy Speedo Swimming Trunks
MOT000140
Tag I wore these speedos for my first ever swim after top surgery. Before that, I hadn’t swam in over 10 years, despite swimming a lot as a kid. When asked to be on the front cover of Gscene magazine, I pushed the trans swimming sessions, but was shocked they blacked out the pool, so it looks like I’m naked for no reason!

Neon Wire Spelling Avery
MOT/2024/NDOTC/PLYM/019
Tag Handcrafted neon sign of my chosed name. It was one thing to change my name on paper via deed poll, but it never felt like I'd earnt my new name. I felt people would look at me and they'd just know I had another. Silly really, but committing my name to large, tacky bright neons helped me feel I 'owned' name and noone could take it.
