TLDR If I get arrested for being topless as a trans women the outcome would either be
1: it’s illegal, which would be a win for trans women as we would be considered closer to cis women, or
2: it’s legal which would be a win for free the nipple movement because it could be argued “that trans women can do it and their boobs are the same as ours”
It has been done before, with both kinds of news coverage, too:
Don’t let that discourage you, though. Showing the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd that their “facts” are in fact just feelings, is always worthwhile.
What was the aftermath? anything?
I’m neither Scottish nor ultra-deeply embedded into the trans community, so I doubt I would’ve heard of politician statements or the like. But yeah, I do think I would’ve heard of it, if the ruling got repealed, and I did not hear of that, unfortunately.
I guess, the main aftermath is that it got reported pretty much globally, because it is clever and there are boobs involved, so even clickbait newspapers can print that. Well, and hopefully it got people talking and reevaluating their preconceptions.
It’s not worthwhile, they don’t care what comes out of their mouths.
They want to opress, without reason or logic.
Well, I guess, then don’t show it to them, but to all the bystanders that haven’t thought about this issue enough and therefore let the bullies do whatever they want. We need them on the side of reason to prevent the bullies from hijacking democracies.
