we need to get more normal about nonsexual nudity i think
kind of missing the point pretty badly actually
i mean i kinda think insisting on not seeing boobs at all is kind of lame weenie behavior is the thing
this might sound harsh but imo that’s just not a realistic accommodation to expect in a scenario where we’re trying to destigmatize naked human bodies
people will come up with 10 thousand excuses on why they don’t actually agree with something when they pretend to do so. anyway I hope people realized that a lot of the stigmatization against nudity/nude bodies is quite literally the result of colonization/imperialism and overall fascism.
what I mean by that is colonizers viewed the nudity of black and indigenous people as “obscene” and inherently sexual because of the avid dehumanization of them. it’s literally just fascist bullshit spread in people’s brains SPECIFICALLY AMERICANS. (my European gf has told me many times that America’s weirdness about nudity was strange and I agree)
another point: second hand dysphoria, while it is a thing, is entirely on you and is 100% manageable and saying other people’s bodies, especially if they are other trans men with breasts, makes you “dysphoric” you need to genuinely push pass that and grow up and stop getting uncomfortable over other bodies. as harsh as that is I’m sure other people don’t like being told they’re dysphoria inducing.

[A comment by vampiresplunderedourcats which says “I know what you mean, the body isn’t inherently sexual nor should general nudity be seen as such, I was more meaning that the ones who would still have an issue with it regardless or norm or general acceptance still have a way to avoid what they don’t want to see”.]
[A comment by mayflower-winter-blog who h says “What about if boobs are dysphoria inducing? I know some guys who really don’t like seeing boobs because it can be quite dysphoric for them and I think it’s totally fair to want to avoid that. Otherwise I totally agree about nudity being taboo and how that’s something that should change”.]
