I still think its too dangerous to let co-workers be aware of your being a nudist, being if they oppose it they can create lies to get you fired even though outside life has nothing to do with your job , dont kid yourself you would be amazed how many people get wrongfully fired for their views on things like politics,religion etc.

we don't go around announcing it to the world, and we don't try to hide it either. I haven't had tan lines for decades, so after gym time at work everyone can see my all over tan. The guys at work know we have a backyard pool so I get the occasional coment about not needing a swim suit back there. There has been extra attention after returning from a winter time Caribbean holiday with no tan lines. In the end, I think our attitude when people notice the allover tan helps keep co-workers off our backs. I don't act embarrassed or try to hide it. I just laugh off any teasing and if someone asks an honest question I give the an honest answer. In the last few years, a few of our co-workers have admitted wanting to or even trying a nude beach.

We feel the same as "Steady." We don't go around announcing it but won't shy away from a direct question. I have never been paranoid of being a nudist ... NEVER. I think to be paranoid is to succumb to the misconceptions some people have about our lifestyle and we feel there's nothing wrong or bad about how we live or what we do.
Worse can happen just walking across the street and I'm not going to stay inside so I don't have to cross the street!
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!

My last "at-work coming out" was maybe a year ago or so, when I still lived in GA and worked in a leadership role for a rather large institution. One of the IT guys was hanging around our area; there were a couple of people from my staff there. I don't remember what led to that, but the IT guy, J., mentionned his backyard pool being clothing-optional. I told him I thought that was great. Then he mentionned his wife taking a liking to skinny-dipping. I told him I thought that was great too. Then he mentionned a nudist resort he'd visited and his wish his wife would accompany him; and asked me if I'd ever heard of it. My answer:
"Of course I've heard ot it. I've been there with my wife and daughter!"
One of the employees: "Wait a minute...you went NAKED there?!" My answer:
"Duh...it's a nudist resort. Of course we went nude there."
After that, I got a couple of questions about my daughter, to which I just responded that she had no problems being a nudist kid; as a matter of fact she had quite a bit of fun with it. Now...I didn't really fear being "reported", which could have easily led to my dismissal; because I was candid, without being proselytizing. I just answered a couple of questions, did not add anything, did not volunteer anything. And I knew my employees trusted me, cared about me, would have talked to me if they'd had issues with my answers instead of just reporting me. I think those are the keys to being open at work: trust and honesty without "volunteering."

Gee, I think if a company fired someone for being a nudist, they would open themselves up to a lawsuit. But maybe I'm wrong? I guess they could just say it was something else...
The last time I was at my chiropractor she noticed the sand falling off my sandals and asked if I had been to the beach. I said she had probably noticed my lack of tan lines also, and yes, I had been to the local nude beach. We talked a while and she finally said, "I should check that out sometime." So sometimes it's good to be open, but you never know.

Practically everybody at our workplaces knows about our skinny dipping, and have known for a while. It was not mentioned as any big deal. It just came up in conversation. It has not been a problem. It is important to have freedom to be who you are, and to mention nudism as a normal way to relax, to live, to vacation, or to socialize without fear of negative consequences. It is understandable however that some people do not have that freedom at some workplaces. Been there in the past and know how that feels. That has been our experience in the past with some individuals, but we are not around those people any longer. Seems also that a big lawsuit could be won if someone were fired for simply being a nudist. Any lawyers viewing this thread?
