Transgender Men Go Topless at Delaware Beach -- and Police Can't Do a Thing
Published June 03, 2010

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. -- Rehoboth Beach in Delaware isn't a topless beach -- but a few transgender men caused a stir by treating it like one.

Police say passers-by complained after the men removed their tops and revealed their surgically enhanced breasts over Memorial Day weekend. A lifeguard asked them to put their tops back on. The men initially refused, but covered up before police arrived.

Even if they hadn't, though, Police Chief Keith Banks notes the men were doing nothing illegal. Since they have male genitalia, they can't be charged with indecent exposure for showing their breasts. Banks says there's no need for a specific law to address the issue.

Rehoboth Beach commissioner Kathy McGuiness isn't so sure. She says the matter will be discussed at a town hall meeting next week.

1. I read this in the News Journel this morning and was baffled...

If they are transgendered men why do they have surgically enhanced breasts?

wouldn't they be considered transgender women?

Or am I just clueless.

And it's Rehobeth - let them have fun. This beach is not fundie nut-job friendly!

5. ding ding...

[LynneSin]

16. Ok what are you dinging?

That I'm clueless or that these transgendered individuals were improperly reported?

[Evasporque]

20. they were improperly tagged as Transgender men...

you are correct it is transgender women.

[racaulk]

11. I believe you are right.

They would most likely consider themselves to be transgender women. Leave it to Faux News to fuck that up so that it conveniently fits their narrative.

[LynneSin]

15. Nah it was the News Journal here in Delaware that first broke the news....

which is just slightly above Fox News when it comes to Journalistic Integrity.

[BR_Parkway]

18. They probably would self ID as transgendered women, but if the law

says they're still male due to the lower genitals - then they can't be forced to wear tops. Not that we haven't all seen plenty of large men who had more boobs showing than most of the females at the beach.

2. NY's top court has held that it is discriminatory to allow only one sex to go topless.

In public, women can be topless to the extent man can be, unless someone is fondling themselves in a sexual way.

[PDJane]

4. same as Ontario...........

[Evasporque]

19. and fondling in a non-sexual way...???

lol

[Jamastiene]

22. For real?

I hate wearing shirts. I should move there.

[PDJane]

3. Send them here.

There's a nude beach on Toronto Island, mostly patronized by teh gays.......they'd fit right in.

[gateley]

6. Ha! Gotta love Fox. I hope this gets that pesky oil disaster off the front page! nt

[RKP5637]

9. +1, n/t

[Evasporque]

7. Wear a bikini top get stared at and scorned...

Wear nothing and get harassed by police and are forced to show them your dick.

It sux being in the middle of transition and going to the beach.

[RKP5637]

8. It'll give the R's a campaign issue to run on for no-tit beaches, everyone must wear T-shirts.

And some will call for a US constitutional amendment.

[Evasporque]

10. GOP approved Swimwear

[racaulk]

12. zOMG, but they're showing their arms, legs, and ankles! Harlots!!1!

:P

[Scuba]

14. Those aren't harlots. They're trollips.

[RKP5637]

17. LOL!!! And it applies to all humans, smaller ones are also required for pets. n/t

[beyurslf]

21. I am pretty sure I see knee on that 4rd one. And each of themis revealing too much neck...

which of course leads to cleavage.

[Jamastiene]

24. Not to mention one has her arm bent.

That leads to arm cleavage. She's 2 mosquito bites on the arm away from public nudity and eternity in Hell. :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

23. The one on the right is CLEARLY going to Hell when she dies.

At least that is what that hideous Christian school I went to growing up would say. Her knees are showing. According to that school's preacher/principal, that's a sin. She should repent now, buy a longer dress or go to Hell.

God, how I hated that school. I wish I could erase it from my memory forever.

[MidwestTransplant]

13. My gosh, they must pass a law in every state before this becomes an epedemeic

[Jamastiene]

25. Ahhhh, boobies....
