Transgendered people and acceptance.

I know its been a super long time since I've posted anything on here, but I do have a question for all of u.
I have a friend who I told about the nude beach I visit. She seemed interested, so I said she was more than welcome to join in if she wanted to. She told me she would be afraid to go. The thing is..my friend is transgendered. She hasn't yet undergone surgery yet, but has be going through hormone therapy, so she has breasts but still presently has the male genitalia she was born with. Because of this she is afraid people will stare and get odd looks and comments and such.
I have told her that most nudists that visit that beach are quite open and mostly likely wont really care and/ or even notice. Its kind of a shame really, I think she would rather enjoy that beach and i know she would more than likely go with and enjoy it, if it wasnt for that one aspect.
So my question is; since transgendered people like my friend are a rare group among the nudist community...just how accepted would she be if she were to go to the beach?
Any transgendered people out there that frequent nude beaches (and/ or even resorts) that care to share their experiences?

RE: Transgendered people and acceptance.

I so would like to say that your TG friend will not be the subject of stares or conversation; but I know this won't be true. However, your friend will probably be welcomed. Most people do not have frequent, if any, contact with TG individuals; particularly nude TG's. . Therefore, there will be a fair degree of curiosity at the body of a pre-op M-]F TG. Do I expect anyone to be rude or nasty? NO! For the most part the nudists I have met have been very accepting and welcoming.

At a beach most other nudists probably wouldn't notice anything unusual. Only the people who are nearby might notice. I have noticed at nudist resorts it is sometimes difficult to determine a person's gender from a distance. What with men having long hair and man boobs, you may not catch a glimpse of their genitals due to large stomachs and believe that they are really a woman. Many women may have the large stomachs and appear to be male at a distance. The people who may have the most serious reactions are the beach gawkers. They see this feminine figure with nice boobs and then are shocked to see a penis. This may permanently stop themfrom gawking. Let's hope so.
