white feminist™ movements that are completely centered around white conventionally attractive cishet women sometimes have so much potential to be great I would’ve gotten behind “free the nipple” but all I seen was white, perky, small boobs with pink nipples and perfectly round areolas It’s like…where are the large areolas, the inverted nipples, the boobs that sag, the stretch marks, the acceptance of trans/non-binary folks with boobs? Why is there so much casual cissexism against trans women within this movement as well?
Inspired by true events, Free The Nipple follows a group of young women who take to the streets of New York City topless, to protest the archaic censorship laws in the United States. Activist Liv and With set out to start a movement and change the system through publicity stunts and graffiti installations while armed with First Amendment lawyers. The film explores the contradictions in our media-dominated society, where acts of violence and killing are glorified, while images of a woman’s body are censored by the FCC and the MPAA. What is more obscene: Violence or a Nipple?
honestly why would trans people go topless in any space they don't know is safe and is full of cis people
there is so much more to trans people being shamed and attacked for their bodies that needs to be examined and dismantled
the only time i see people daring to go topless is during trans pride events honestly because they know they have support and defense coming from other trans people
