OK, I figured that title would get peoples' attention! I think this is an interesting topic and I debated posting it to the non-swimming related forum, but it is swimming related.
Anyway, here's the story. A woman in Seattle has been fighting the rule that women need to wear tops while swimming in Seattle pools. She had a double mastectomy and her contention is that the suit rubbing against her scars is very uncomfortable. The city Parks & Rec department finally decided she can swim topless--but only her:

I don't understand. This woman originally raised the request because of her special situation. She got what she wanted and can swim the way she wants now.
Yes, she can, but what about others with similar issues? As things stand now they are out of luck, or--I guess I should say--they must follow the existing rules. To me the worst possible outcome is this woman gets her own special rule that only applies to her.
