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:

Firstly, a woman with a double mastectomy, without a shirt on is not a pretty sight. I feel for the lady. I could never imagine where she is emotionally.
Secondly, I believe this woman is just seeking special treatment. There is an entire industry that has built up around women who had had a singular or double mastectomy. She can easily purchase an Mastectomy swimsuit.

Lastly, you have to give this lady credit for being courageous enough to want to swim topless after having a double mastectomy.
