And then unironically say that sexism isn’t a thing anymore?

    I read a blog post about a leftist cis woman media figure who spent a day walking around topless because her location either legally allowed it or didn’t not allow it. I think the blog was written by someone that was with her that day, and what I mostly remember from reading it is her just hanging out and doing normal things and angry cops saying things like “I know it’s legal so I can’t arrest you, but there’s kids around so maybe put on a shirt or get out of here”.

    and I do kinda think about that a lot

    Completely get what you’re saying and agree with the core point, but it’s weird to make this about “AMAB people” rather than cis men. Lots of AMAB people are women, lots of those women have boobs, and they absolutely would get arrested in places where it’s illegal to show boobs

      also the occasional news story about a breast cancer survivors doing kinda lib activism in jurisdictions where nipple is specified in the law.

      actually come to think if it there was one with a trans person who used nipple laws to force a municipality to choose between recognizing their gender and the nipple thing.
