So it's all there in the title: this is a trans thread.
But also a Facebook thread
And a breast feeding one.

For years FB have banned pics of breastfeeding mothers because, you know, standards. Rules are insane clear: lady-nips are bad

So what happens if you post lady-nips* on Facebook but you identify as a man? Same pics, same nips different identity. Turns out that's ok....

So to recap a woman who says she's a woman can't post photos of her breasts but once she says she's a man hell yeah!

AIBU to think the world is now going to turn itself inside out trying to figure this shit out?

*to be clear to the miserable fuckers this is "light hearted" terminology

WTF?

Facebook is very backwards though, live streaming yourself killing your daughter before killing yourself is allowed but women's nipples must be hidden.

I can't see the full second response from FB.

Do they specifically say it's because of gender identification. Or are these stock responses (every request gets a review by a person, and any reinstated image gets the same wording when they do it)

Because I thought breastfeeding photos are sometimes be reinstated, depending on the actual pic.

Where is this all going to end up?

Sometimes i feel really old.

But they're right.

If you're a woman because you say you are and it's offensive to show a woman's breasts but not a mans chest, then any breasts belonging to a male can no longer be deemed offensive.

Hmm it's interesting that this Jack Strickland guy hasn't produced the photo in question.

It'll be interesting to find out whether this is a hoax or not.
