Transgender men go topless at Rehoboth Beach

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - June 3, 2010

Police say passers-by complained after the men removed their tops and revealed their surgically enhanced breasts over Memorial Day weekend. A lifeguard asked them to put their tops back on. The men initially refused, but covered up before police arrived.

Even if they hadn't, though, Police Chief Keith Banks notes that the men were doing nothing illegal. Since they have male genitalia, they can't be charged with indecent exposure for showing their breasts. Banks says there's no need for a specific law to address the issue.

Rehoboth commissioner Kathy McGuiness isn't so sure. She says the matter will be discussed at a town hall meeting next week.
