Why are you mad at someone more comfortable than you and attempting to make them less comfortable to compensate instead of making yourself more comfortable? Why must the equality level be set to "shitty"?
It sounds like you are just bitter about being more caught up in social norms and restrictions than your topless transgendered sistren, which isn't surprising, seeing as they had to break out of all that nonsense a long time ago just to feel like their authentic selves.
Take your top off, too, anon! Maybe you'll see why they dig it so much.
Also, Anon must be pretty self-centred to think that other people shouldn't do things because they make her envious. Jeez Louise.
When I woke up, I had radio tracking collar on.
Damned UW Sasquatch researchers.
Here is what you tell a kid or an adult who doesn't understand where they are.
This is Seattle and we respect people for who they are, and who they want to be. You may see things that you have never seen before and they may seem strange to you and that's ok. Just because it is strange does not mean it's harming you or a bad thing. Aren't you glad you can visit or live in a place where people can be who they want to be?
As a woman (would it really matter if I was trans or not?), I applaud these women for taking advantage of the law and doing what's comfortable. Some people may not want to view bare breasts, but some people may also not want to view a bare beer-belly--yet many men confidently remove their shirts without a second thought when the weather is warm. More power to those women confident enough to be comfortable.
Guessing i-anonymous doesn't like breastfeeding or National Geographic, either.
As a man with a very hairy chest, I approve this message.
Totally not transphobic or misogynistic.
I am not brave enough, at least not down town, but maybe a quiet beach somewhere..
But what the hell, I don't mind other women doing it.
And hey, my bf might look at other women's tits, good for him. I would too if it was a guy with bare buttocks or something. Where's the threat?
Have fun, half naked women, the rest of us envy your courage.
As a ciswoman I admire the courage many trans women have when it comes to confronting these things.
I have always had street-harassment from guys, and I am sure growing up disguised as a guy, pre-transition, has given these women some strength to really not give a f*ck what guys might say or do with that. I am envious!!
I would be too intimidated by the general male response, myself, but I would never think to ask other women not to do it because I was too scared.
