No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to

It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!

Note: The article about her predates her coming out, so uses the pronouns and name that were assumed at the time.

There's definitely a lot of other incidences where trans women at all stages of HRT, including with absolutely none ever taken, who have been policed and arrested and fined for that. There isn't so much a threshold in breast-related puberty where this is seen as lewd, per se.

To my understanding a lot of this is more complicated than that. Like an impossible equation of time and place and culture around nudity and culture around gender and how gender is defined, etc.

My main point here though is that trans women have already done this experiment basically.

This situation also happened in 2011:

This next article isn't exactly the same as the topic at hand, but does involve trans people going topless as a form of protest.

The company’s total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025. This is very easily the biggest increase in their electricity consumption ever, and it puts them way ahead of Microsoft. It is almost certainly a reflection of the obscene energy hunger of their ever-expanding bloated generative AI systems, and a vindication of the warnings we’ve been raising for several years now.

[...]

The power grids that Google’s data centres are plugged into have to increase generation to match this new demand – and that includes rising use of coal and gas, and as a consequence, worse climate disasters like deadly heatwaves. Google’s consumption is rising way faster than the grids are being cleaned up with renewables, and that means their emissions number is going up fast, too.

[...]

If “AI infrastructure buildout is currently accelerating faster than the grid is decarbonising” then Google shouldn’t be building AI infrastructure. If they are breaching the boundaries of safe operation on a planet that can only take so much, they should stop and consider whether all of this is worth it. Think about what Google’s AI services have done for you. Does it seem worth it? Are you getting a deadly heatwave’s worth of use, out of PDF summaries and AI overviews?

Post by "ana.sturt1", consisting of text and two photos. The text reads:

my cousin does crochet... so I asked her to make a simple coaster for my desk and she showed up with this [the word "this" is in all capitals, followed by a crying emoji] I don't even know if I should use it or protect it at all costs

The two photos show the coaster, which has been crocheted in the shape of a lizard with bug eyes. The first photo shows the coaster and a hand about to place a glass on it. The coaster lizard's body is circular but peaked in the center and forms a short, broad cone. This flattened cone is the part of the lizard that actually functions as a coaster. The lizard's head extends horizontally outward from its body, on a relatively long neck. Its legs and tail are also splayed outward from the body.

‌

The second photo shows the coaster after the glass has been placed on it. The weight of the glass has depressed the cone of the lizard body, causing the legs, tail, head and neck to splay upwards instead of outwards. With the head and neck pointing upwards we can see that the lizard's mouth is wide agape and it is sticking out its curled tongue. Coupled with the bug eyes, this makes the lizard look like it is yelling in alarm at the weight of the glass that has been placed on it.

The third image is a photo link to a video tutorial on YouTube showing how to crochet this lizard coaster.
