As a MTF, have you worn a female swimsuit yet?
If yes, how was your fit, and how did you think or feel about wearing it?
Did you go to any public setting and wore it there, and did you have any anxiety doing that? Were your preOp or NoOp at the time? Did you tuck?

I have never been on HRT, but I wear swimsuits every summer at the beach. I do not care about tucking; I just wear a bikini bottom. I sometimes walk topless on the beach to tan my chest.

Yes, I have several swim outfits, including bikinis and one-piece swimsuits. Some of them are skirted, but not all. I prefer 'tummy control' styles as they hold a tuck much better. I use them in my backyard where we have a pool.
No, I haven't. The ocean is too cold to swim in. I suppose I could use the pool at the university down the road, but I can't get motivated to do laps, and I'm not sure my lungs could handle it anyway. Any time the weather is warm and sunny enough to justify wearing a swimsuit away from water, it is sunny enough that I'd want to cover up. So I have had no reason to get a swimsuit.
Oh yes, many.
I had a bunch from before my various surgeries. My favorite was probably a bikini with a little skirt suit bottom. It was lovely and so versatile. And yes I wore it out and about and such at appropriate venues like lakes or pools or the ocean.
Yet it always felt a bit off for me. So yes I did eventually have my GCS and a favorite part of my afterlife of that surgery has been properly fitting into my swim suits. I have finally felt comfortable enough to get into a gym pool and start swimming laps again, woo-hoo!
Beaches are a good excuse for me to expose and show off my body in public. I have all kinds of swimsuits for it.

Swimsuits are even allowed in most public places, especially in summer. At an airport a few years ago:

Yes, skirted and bikini. Fit is ok, body shape? Well, let's just say that I don't look and trust my friends and family when they say that I look good
