Why are women's nipples considered unacceptable anyway? It seems really sexist in my opinion to say that male nipples are acceptable but female ones aren't
In a decent number of countries, they are pretty relaxed. You go there, you see nipple (or dick) for 5 seconds, it's notable, then it fades into the background. People are just anal-retentive about it because of religion and family culture.
and when someone transitions... it's ... the /same/ nipple, but it used to be illegal and unseemly - but now is perfectly legal to show everywhere ,,, strange.....
I've seen a surgery documentary on TV about transitioning. They showed the surgeon doing the breast surgery. It was all uncensored, nipples and all, until the very second the doc put the silicone bag under the skin. Then they pixelated the nipple. The same nipple they were showing all along.
My nipples certainly aren't the same, they're far larger and the shape has changed, it's pretty insane actually. Our bodies are way more plastic than we think.
For the other way round it would be vice versa, which is even more funny IMO - all of a sudden showing your previously legal nipples in public is now illegal
Not only are female breasts legal where I live IRL, many Lemmy communities consider them SFW under non-sexual conditions. Godspeed everybody, free the nipple!
Thanks for the article OP, but it's got a clickbatey headline, it doesn't actually answer what took so long (or investigate why they made the change in the first place.)
