With self ID does this mean we can finally free the nipple?

[DollySparks]

Just thinking that walking around with our baps out should now be fine if we temporarily self Id as men... or on social media... I’m sure there’s a protest idea here somewhere I mean this isn’t what they expected is it? A load of free nipples 😂 ..help?

It’s a kind of turning of tables isn’t it?

Years ago I had a friend who protested this by walking around london topless...she would get on the bus from Highgate to Camden in just her trousers. She was fab.

Wouldn't it be more convenient just to say that you identify your nipples as men's nipples?

I do believe this was tried at a swimming pool by the Man Friday chaps. There were complaints..

Who are ‘man Friday?’

IIRC, when Swim England introduced new guidelines for sports centres saying that women who objected to transwomen using the women's facilities should be "re-educated", they said that transwomen can wear women's swimwear, but that transmen must keep their breasts covered.

ManFriday's actions caused SwimEngland to retract the new guidelines. I don't know what current guidelines say.

Man Friday have hung up their flowery swimming caps, but the website with all their blog posts is still there: manfridayuk.org/

Ah and I thought I’d come up with the idea 😂

Can I wait until the summer, please

So what they discovered then is that it doesn’t work both ways?

Is it any surprise?

Yes, us Man Fridays chaps had a good time self-IDing as men and freeing our nipples! It did result in police being called to Hampstead Men's Pond though, apparently female breasts are far to terrifying to be unleashed on the general public, even if they're self-identifying as male...

*too

I think I have already.

I keep fucking forgetting to put mine back in after bf.

There's going to a a serious delivery person accidental free boob soon.

I think some post-mastectomy women have been told they can't swim without a top on.

I have vague recollection of Fabook deleting a topless post, then reinstating it when it was claimed the photo was of a pre op trans man.

No, womens ladyparts are transphobic and exclusionary must never be mentioned let alone seen.

Not only that

They said

Dick in the womens changing was fine
Tits in the pool were not

Massive double standard.

I didn't see that they had changed the guidleines, it was being updated fro aggggeees..

Do they no longer say that girls who are concerned about naked bodies with dicky-doo-dahs in the changing rooms should be "re-educated"? That was particularly good.

Sorry | know you said that

BUT the penis = yay tits = no thing is pretty fucking stark.

Breasts aren't even a primary sexual characteristic. Tits and cock are not on the same playing field, as it were.

Subtext. Women's bodies are more shocking. more in need of coverage. more outrageous to the public eye than mens. Which of course is true (misogyny) - but did swim england who claim to want to encourage girls really need to reiterate it.

This is insane! I was half joking but that’s shocked me that they have stuck to this double standard ... could a mass putting up of nip pics show this up? Or something of the like?

This really highlights the lunacy and the bias against women doesn’t it

This is such a good idea! don't forget the ban the urinalysis campaign too, as they might invalidate our identity as 'men'

Urinals that meant to say!

I think I might have to photoshop something ridiculous like a double row of nips on my stomach and post it to see what happens
