"Trans existence will not be endangered but those who are ignorant, but enlightened by those who are insightful."
Transgender surfers will draw a figurative if not literal line in the sand at Will Rogers Beach in Santa Monica this Saturday with a “Trans Day of Visibility!”
TS surf and skate label Dream Team Society, which makes “merchandise for conscious consumption” and using only “historically marginalized groups & businesses” announced the “Trans Surf, boogie and beach day” via Instagram.
Everyone is welcome, including CIS freaks and those a little curious – and who isn’t – although there is a caveat.
“This is a space for TGNC (Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People) folks and if you support that community, you are welcomed. This is a place of celebration and safety, so don’t duck with us we are just trying to have a nice time!”

Trans Beach Day comes as pro surfing threatens to implode following the WSL’s decision to allow biological males to compete in the gals.
The World Surf League opened the door to trans-women competing so long as they’ve been a gal for at least twelve months and their hormone levels are real low, although the WSL said it wouldn’t be doing the testing, each athlete suppling their own supporting documents.
The world’s most inspirational surfer Bethany Hamilton sparked wild debate, both for and against the rule change, when she recorded a piece to camera damning the decision.
Hamilton, who was thirteen when a tiger shark took off her arm, said she was speaking for tour surfers who felt muzzled, agreed with Kelly Slater who called for a trans-only div and said she’d boycott events if it went ahead.

“Speak your truth!” wrote Shane Dorian in response. “Thank you for being brave enough to stand up for what you believe. Don’t listen to people who hurl the word transphobic at anyone who’s beliefs don’t align perfectly with theirs. These are complicated problems with no clear solution. Regardless, there are many people who love and support the trans community who agree with you on these issues…Less than 1% of people think this policy reflects fairness. Quite the opposite”
As for Dream Team Society, their small batch of merch reflects a fine sense of humour.
Fav, of course, the “Body Hair, Don’t Care” hoodie and tee. Sold out, unfortunately.
“We put a butch in a bathing suit and got the glory shot of the year…This collab highlights the beauty of body hair, awareness of ACAB.”
ACAB, of course, is the acronym for All Cops Are Bastards.
Rings true to me.
Very different from what you would find in any wester city drag show or story time for sure. Still feel that there’s something to be learned on both sides of the debate with this aspect of Polynesian culture.
shut the fuck up
Said I wouldn’t play pidgeon chess but here I am, you sir are a twit of the highest order, not a logical bone in your body.
“Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pidgeon. It’ll just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut about like it’s won anyway.”
You’re a fucken psycho, whatever gets you through “Braddah”. I suggest you do some reading, although the brainwashing wont allow logical processing.
How bout we start with you debunking these “smart folks” https://humanorigins.si.edu…
That’s bullshit, if you believe that then there’s no hope. I will not play pigeon chess with you.
Got to be carefull when paddling behind that “hot chick ” in the g banger these days, might get more than you bargained for ….
As a recovering Mormon/atheist THIS is why I come to BG as I’ll never see this level of work on the WSJ or FT sites!!! BUT you misspelled Eve as it is Adam and Steve these days or so I’m told.
You’ve forsaken the Magic Underwear™️???
YES SIR! Father was Mormon(Jack Mormon) mother was Methodist and hated the expectation of Mormon women to be subservient. So it was a Mormon light upbringing…
My boss grew up bouncing back and forth between St. George and Cedar City abd still has most of his family there. At some point he soured on the Church and now lives in Atlanta.
His big issue is with the women who are expected to be perfect all the time.
Not sure of the details but it sounded like his ex-wife was an outcast growing up because she wouldn’t conform.
I’ve been to St. George…definitely an interesting place.

Trans. Is a very interesting topic… And it likely won’t be going away anytime soon. I guess it comes down to experience, my experience with the trans gendered lady was very positive because I enjoyed watching the managers get very uncomfortable on how to deal with her uncomfortable managers brought me Great joy because I hated the managers..
Soon this freshly new lady was running things and getting away with inappropriate comments and off color jokes.
She once made a comment that she had cum blasted in her ass”.
Then a group of us cis gender males were standing around the water cooler, and she walked up and made a comment of how her “asshole was bleeding” and walked away…
we all looked at each other with shock confusetion.
“Are we supposed to relate to that” we said to each other.
She went full punk rock…people were scared for their jobs so no one spoke up.
She was a bad ass!
So I must say this bitch sure had a set of balls and I’m pretty sure I know where they came from.
Dangerous piece of shit.
Don’t you live in the islands?
He is an imposter .
His world view is straight up southern California.
Ever heard of Fa’afafine? I remember seeing these dudes wearing dresses and pushing strollers around Mo’orea when I was a kid. Didn’t seem to bother anyone.
Ever been to the Chevron at Sunset beach? Mahu central and nobody fucks with them either
You would be sorely mistaken if you thought they didn’t know how to fight. Probably been bullied and picked on their whole lives.
Mahu’s???
Lord, thank you for your abundant, abounding grace. Thank you that we
don’t have to earn a drop of the mighty river of grace that flows freely
for us today. Thank you for the unexpected, unmerited favor you’ve
showered on my life. Help me put myself in the path of your love and
grace. Help me not neglect the disciplines I need to meet with you
regularly and to drink from the water of life.
And please can you arrange 15 Bra Boys to take over the **WILL ROGERS BEACH** line-up like they did at “Ours”
Thank you for your rich love. Amen.
AMEN…lol!
NonJohn will view this event from the ferris wheel. Zuck seems gay. Maybe he will ride the ferris wheel with NonJohn. Kai could spin the ferris wheel for us.
So much transphobia, my dude.
Trans Day of Visibility…where women show their penises to prove they are women.
LOL! As I skin up a snow covered mtn this afternoon I will briefly expose my penis in honor of all CIS males. SHHHH, don’t tell my wife!
Don’t get it frost bitten, Prince Harry!
It will be quicK! LOL
Smart!
Above freezing so no frostbite…
A great success!!!
do bears sometime shit in the water
woods?https://pleated-jeans.com/w…
Not in the winter
Love how some humans must bring all their baggage to the the beach, then shlep it into the water.
Let your surf do the talking, not your gender.
Who am I to judge? Maybe it’s your God given right to have your ball bag hanging out of your bikini bottom.
Looks like there might be a niche market in transgender wetsuits?
They bring their baggage and whole bunch of letters and keyboard symbols.
Very tiring.
Flyeye wetsuits!! think we market that here at BG
I was wondering as well…
Good point but I suggest Hawaiians are likely used to be worked over with zero respect in every and anything to do with surfing
Eddie would go no!
