Question - I'm going swimming tomorrow in a public pool in Amsterdam and I would love to wear my one-piece, but I don't pass at all. I'm not on hormones yet and except for long hair, look pretty male.

I imagine it's illegal to kick me out on the basis of gender, but I still don't want to go through that experience (or be otherwise humiliated). Has anyone done this with no issue - or tried it and did experience comments or worse?

Would love to hear from people's experiences. I know there's a dedicated trans swim event, but that's only once a month (still glad it exists though). Thanks!

Hey, I do some DJ'ing for blues dance socials, and I love putting on songs that have interesting or surprising rhythm twists. The problem is I only have a few of these.

Here are my current favourites:

- "Stormy Monday" (Little Milton version)

Goes from a mellow slow groove into this amazing uptempo repeating guitar thing at 2:07

- "Mary Ann" (Ray Charles)

Starts with a tresillo, changes to a shuffle, then back to tresillo. Incredible.

Wanted to see if anyone could suggest other blues songs with rhythm twists. Thanks!
