I finally found a rare gem of a supporter who cares enough about my fight for abolishing #gender specific #censorship that he goes the extra mile and PUTS UP HIS OWN VIDEO RESPONSES 🤯 Except now he's banned on #youtube from posting for a week, simply for linking to my website toplesstopics(dot)org 🙃 there's nothing whatsoever sksual on my site, literally just links to the "patriarchy unfriendly" versions of my videos I host on Peertube where my heinous female npls are visible as I just sit there talking about whatever, not at all sksual like the MILLIONS of "people who look male" posting top (less) thirst traps on every mainstream platform. I've known YouTube has blocklisted my website for years (and basically anything else I've ever linked to, see toplesstopics(dot)org/banned for hundreds of screenshots of proof), but someone ELSE, an MAN even, getting a week long ban for linking to my website is a new frontier of blatantly misogynistic fascist censorship that I've yet to see crossed.
It's so enraging, because this guy is such a BAMF for not only commenting on my social media posts, but making FULL-A** VIDEO RESPONSES, which is something I've had happen maybe five times ever in the ten years I've been making videos about top freedom. He says he'll still keep making new videos after the ban ends, and I appreciate him more than words can say for doing this. The ONLY way we can EVER convince these capitalist institutions to stop assigning different levels of censorship based on "what gender you look like" is if A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE are VERY LOUD in pointing out the hypocrisy, and dudes like this are precious all-stars in this fight ❤️

Please subscribe, like, comment etc in support of this wonderful human who has gone above and beyond in supporting my fight against #gender specific #censorship by making multiple video responses to my own posts, and consider making your own videos as well, or at least text or image posts sharing why you think banning the chests of "people who look female" from online and in public as "sexually explicit nudity" but not the chests of "people who look male" is #sexist#misogynist#transphobic hypocrisy that needs to stop ❤️
#Racists in #Canada are flipping out at #ParksCanada decision to tell ugly truth about #JohnAMacDonald & not #whitewash factual #history to appease white folks who think that cruel man was a hero. He was a #genocider of Indigenous & a huge #sexist jerk. People like that don't deserve respect after death. People who put evil people like that up on heroic pedestals suffer from #racism.
Just search Parks Canada & John A MacDonald & you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not giving racists traffic.
Looking forward to the #sexist#misogynist living under the #patriarchy twisting themselves in knots through their #mentalGynmastics to rationalize why the chest of a girl who hasn't even hit puberty yet is inherently "sksually xplct ndty" while the chest of a MALE at ANY age is always considered public- and online- safe 🙃
I wonder if #NikkiHaley would also say the #US has never been a #sexist nation? Does she refuse to believe that during the founding of our #nation, #men didn't intend to exclude women? Maybe. There are plenty of women who have internalized #misogyny.
I disagree with her that the intent of the Declaration was to "do the right thing" by everyone. Certain populations were excluded on purpose, and those people have had to continuously fight to be included.
Preview image of the upcoming video I'm almost done editing- Topless Topics Interviews TammyJo Eckhart: ancient historian, kink educator, and erotic/"edgy" fiction author. I'll announce when the full video goes up--early uncensored access for Patreon donors, patriarchy-friendly mainstream version on Youtube whenever I have time to finish censoring out my heinous female nipples! Become a donor here: https://www.patreon.com/toplesstopics
Even after ten years of making videos like this, it's still so crazy to me to stop every now and then and look at the video and marvel at how something like this gets banned on every single platform that isn't explicitly a porn site as "sexually explicit nudity," just for having nipples on a "person who looks female" visible. It doesn't matter how incredibly boring or mundane the topic is, or the fact that I'm just SITTING THERE, doing nothing at all with my body but talking--but because I "look female," my upper torso is always and automatically thrown into the same category as hardcore porn. Meanwhile anyone who "looks male" can LITERALLY BE DOING A STRIP TEASE, or "comedically" playing with his nipples, and HE is left up, patriarchy-safe, unbanned.
How does this not infuriate more people?? Almost every time I bring the subject up of gender-specific #censorship to anyone my age or younger (and occasionally those before my generation), they agree that banning nipples only on those who "look female" is #sexist#misogynist and absurd, and yet year after year, the status quo just...doesn't change. All these platforms performatively claim to support #LGBTQ / #queer equality (especially in June) yet this blatantly unfair demonstration of oppression against those who "look female"--I phrase it that way because it doesn't matter what you identify as, what you were assigned at birth, none of that--only whether algorithms and legislators think you "look male" or "look female"--stays in place, unchallenged and unabated.
Sorry, same old rant..back to video editing. Maybe someday we'll crack the code to forcing these companies to pretend to support #genderEquality re:censorship 🙃
A team of meme-makers led by a little-known podcaster & life coach, has spent much of the year flooding social media w/pro-Trump posts riddled w/ #sexist & #racist tropes, lionizing Trump & brutally denigrating his opponents.
I love Gauntlet Dark Legacy but I hate the weird sexism in this ad for it. 😬 I'm sure they thought they were being funny or edgy but it comes across as total cringe. The number of females who play video games is LARGE, and also, who cares anyway? I'm a straight cis guy and I play as female characters all the time.
It's kinda funny/sad... I'm a #toplessEquality#freeTheNipple activist ("seeking to destigmatize the sight of nonsexual female nipples so that maybe someday we can have the right to go topless in public and online that men get) but I rarely feel like posting any topless photos or videos online anymore...
Part of that is because we're in winter now and it's effin cold, part is because even when I pre-censor the hell out of my content before posting to mainstream platforms, it still gets banned--see www.toplesstopics.org/banned for receipts 🙃)
But mostly it's because I HATE giving the pornbots anything new to blatantly disregard the purpose of my content by unabashedly spanking the monkey to it. I'm stuck in such an effin catch-22; because American (and most world cultures) view female nipples as *sexually explicit nudity," then if they do see female nipples, they treat them as sexually explicit nudity, regardless of context or consent. And it's certainly not helped that the only place I CAN post my nonsexual female nipples where more than ten people can see them (a slight exaggeration, but that's what it feels like on mastodon and Peertube 😜) is on sites INTENDED FOR PORN... I can only state so many times that "my nipples are not on display for your sexual pleasure," but people don't go to porn sites looking for nonsexual content, so of course the vast majority of people who stumble onto my content on porn sites treat it as, well, porn.
Gender-based #censorship is so blatantly absurd and #sexist / #misogynist (not to mention transphobic - at what point in transition does someone "look male" or "look female" enough to lose the right to go topless in public and online?) that I can't help wondering why more people don't question this status quo, and especially speak out about it. Pretty much any time I talk to a millennial or younger (rarely but sometimes, Gen x or boomer 😋) they go "yeah you're right, it doesn't make sense!" but then that's the end of it, conversation over. They don't have the interest or will in bringing it up to anyone else, or posting about it on their own social media. So while do greatly appreciate the words of support, it remains depressing that the only one actually putting her neck on the line (as far as posting my actual tits to the internet, where I get stalked, doxxed, shamed, discriminated against, and possibly even endure threats to have my children taken away by CPS) seems to be me.
Even just in words only.
How do I galvanize people enough to make their own original comments about this, even just a text post? I KNOW it's risky to let your friends, families and coworkers know that you believe in something as radical as "people who 'look female' shouldn't have their chests invariably banned from viewing outside of explicit sexual situations if people who 'look male' don't" but like, even an anonymous account...?
Anyway. Time to get ready for my livestream on a sex site so I can try to appeal to people going to a sex site looking for sex content to not treat my nipples as spank bank material for sex. 😩
So longtime friend of the Topless Topics community mrich (as we all know him by) and I have been tossing around a #podcast idea for a while (I know, I know...this one will be good though, I promise ;p) and I could use y'alls help in solidifying the concept before we jump in to making it.
While we're still figuring out the structure of the podcast, the idea is to have a few somewhat disparate sections to it - gaming/ #comics / #cosplay /etc, then brief reaction to current #politics / #news (like #feminism , #LGBTQ , #racialJustice , anti- #capitalism , and so much more), and (hopefully) an interview with someone interesting ( #sexWorker , #activist , #artist , etc...whoever we can find that seems like they'd be a good fit for the pod! Then finally, maybe an "ask us anything" advice/reaction section to round out the episode.
I'm thinking we aim for <= 2 hours, one episode per month, but if we really get into it, maybe an episode every other week. I'm still gonna have to edit it and I have a lot else on my plate so I don't want to overextend myself too much. If we happen to stumble into wild success maybe I could hire someone else to do that part in the future, then we could record more often :p
On some subjects, of course I will defer to his expanded first-hand experience, like #racialInequality . And on other subjects, it'll be mostly my turn to step onto the soapbox, namely about what it's like to be a woman in this #misogynist#sexist world. We've chatted for many hours over the years and always gotten along swimmingly, so I don't anticipate undue friction in the longterm (a benefit of having so many like-minded opinions already). But I still think we have enough difference in life experiences to provide an interesting perspective on a variety of topics.
What do you think? Does any of that seem interesting to you? What kinds of things / people to interview would you like to see on a podcast created by a pair of different similar leftist nerds? Would you listen to such a podcast? Please, lay your feedback on me! All replies welcome, as long as you're not being a total jerk ❤️
I try to keep an open mind when I venture into a new #language and the idiosyncrasy of its speakers, but leaning that the #Japanese word for someone's husband is ごしゅじん (goshujin, literally "master") and someone's wife is おくさん (okusan, literally "back inside the house") doesn't exactly motivate me to keep learning a language or exploring the deeply #sexist culture around it. 😐
#youtube posted this ominous warning at the top of my studio: "Under our existing external links policy, violative URLs posted within the video itself or in the video's metadata (titles, descriptions, and tags) may result in the video being removed."
If you click "learn more," it takes you to their "external links policy," which is laughably vague, just like their in-general #communityGuidelines#violation page. You can read it yourself here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9054257?hl Note how they repeatedly say "this is not an exhaustive list," and there's no mention of nudity, only "pornography"--meaning it's up to that particular algorithm's programming bias what counts as "prawn" or not (to say nothing of the insanely blatant #misogynist and #sexist viewpoint within the #patriarchy that "female-looking nipples are 'nudity' but male nipples aren't" 🙃)
The absolutely wildest thing is, if youtube would just give me half the effin leeway that they do these many other accounts that post FULL BODY, FULLY UNCENSORED nudity, I wouldn't need to direct people anywhere else to see the "patriarchy-unapproved" version of my videos. Honestly, this is pretty crazy...I learned long ago not to post any kind of clickable link anywhere in a youtube description or comment (after getting #strikes for linking to my own website, and a twitter post of mine, and a tumblr post, and a link to a discord server intended to serve as a resource guide and community for intersex people...) but getting these threats that even just having the url to my site on my page can get a video banned.
If you're a #contentCreator or #influencer who only posts your content to Youtube, I highly encourage you to start packing now, and get your feet into some less-faschy alternative platforms--#Peertube is a great place to start (you can comment if you want me to try to direct you towards more specific resources). Because if you "keep all your eggs in one basket," you're going to end up with egg all over your face (and none left to survive off of) once capitalism kicks that basket out of your hands.
A (quickly drawn) page for my "Day in the Life of a #Topfree Activist" #webcomic about the aggravation of dealing with #nudist / #naturist s who try to co-opt my fight for anti #censorship#genderEquality into normalizing FULL BODY nudity... I don't know how much is ignorance and how much is deliberate.
I think the disconnect comes from a place of self-centeredness, especially from cis men... It's such a revolutionary concept to try to see the world from the viewpoint of someone without their same #privilege that they HAVE to twist the argument around to something that they, themselves can benefit from as well. And since men ALREADY get to go topless anywhere in public and online that they like without getting #banned or arrested for "sexually explicit nudity" then it's only freeing their lower parts that also interests them... Because that's currently a privilege NONE of us enjoy (except of course for the handful of places that allow nonsexual nudity, which tend to be very ableist and economically privileged to even get to.
They just can't see how the fight for #toplessEquality is about giving the same rights to all #gender s, not just men... Simply the #misogynist#sexist (and indeed #transphobic) #social societal standard that says "female-looking nipples are 'sexually explicit nudity' while 'male-looking nipples' are not." does that make sense?
Inb4 "not all #nudists " and/or #NotAllMen - - search the web the "not all..." fallacy if you want to know why that's a bs deflection from the argument. I don't have time to keep belaboring that point.
Currently fighting my #bodyImage issues as I try to film my daily Tiktok/Instagram/YouTube shorts despite having a fking #acne breakout, yet feeling the fierce need to reject #sexist#misogynist#patriarchy#doubleStandards that dictate a woman should have a full face of #makeup (but look "natural") to be allowed to show her face online and in public 🙃
Oh, do feck off with your sexist, mysogynistic shyte about what women over a certain age should wear. We can and will wear whatever we damm well please, whether it’s dresses, jeans, shorts, trackies, or something else entirely. We will also colour our hair, cut it short, keep it long, do or not do our nails, makeup, wear glasses or contacts, go on adventures or not according to our personal lifestyles and preferences. 🤬 https://www.womanandhome.com/fashion/best-dresses-for-women-over-50/
Sorry for ranting., but this kind of ableist stuff drives me absolutely insane. What’s next? Are women incapable of deciding what to wear, of holding down a job, of being professional? The right kind of car for women to drive? Get in the bin with all of it. #sexist#misogony#autonomy#ableism

It's frustrating sometimes that as a cis female, I am only qualified to give my own limited take on #freeTheNipple. I often say, "what more clearly demonstrates the #sexist#misogynist nonsense of #toplessEquality than how #censorship is applied to #Trans#nonbinary and #genderfluid people? At what point do you "look female" or "look male" enough to lose or gain the right to post your #nipples online without them getting banned?"
I struggle with figuring out the verbiage to point out this hypocrisy without it sounding like I'm making assumptions about how non-CIS female-presenting people feel about this. I know posting your nipples on the internet or going without a shirt at the beach/park/gym/etc anywhere that a CIS man would be allowed to without any problem can be embarrassing if not dangerous--at the least, ostracizing friends and family, maybe losing your job; at the most, getting jail time (see the woman in Utah who was charged with "child abuse" for briefly being topless in front of her adolescent step kids while changing out of a drywall-covered shirt) or stalked/physically endangered. It's a big "toothpaste out of the tube" moment that many people don't have the privilege of exercising in protest. So of course I don't blame people for their reluctance to brazenly put their heinous "female-looking nipples" out there for the judgemental, puritanical world to see like I do.
It's just that, as I said at the start, there's only so much I can say about this as a CIS woman. How can I encourage more people who are not CIS to also talk about this, even if they don't show their own nipples?
(I apologize if I've used any problematic terms here--I'm honestly trying my best)
I posted this to Instagram since it's most relevant there, but thought I'd post it here as well in case there are other male presenting people in mastodon that could make use of the new viewpoint from a #freeTheNipple#toplessEquality#activist who is sick of having anti-censorship #malePrivilege shoved in my face even by self-professed allies
It description:
To those of you who support my mission for anti #censorship#genderEquality freetheneepel/topleesh equality*, I have one request:
When you're posting topleesh content to the many, many #sexist#nisogynist anti #feminism mainstream platforms run by #thePatriarchy, PLEASE censor out ALL neepels, not just "female presenting neepels) (look the phrase up at knowyourmeme.com for a fun time, lol). I ask this for two reasons:
Honestly, given how sexist our society is, it's as shocking to see" male presenting neepels" that ARE censored as "female presenting neepels" that AREN'T. so if you share my goals of highlighting the hypocrisy of gender-based censorship, this is a great way to do it.
While I value our male - presenting allies, it feels a bit like a slap in the face when you flex your privilege by posting your "male presenting neepels" knowing full well that we can't. It's a bit like standing in front of someone with dietary restrictions and deliberately eating the thing we can't eat right in front of us. I know it's a challenge to everyone to step outside of our own world experiences enough to realize something might be a problem for others without being a problem for us, but teaching ourselves empathy is a cornerstone of the lifelong effort to be better people overall ❤️
Thanks for reading! I'm really not trying to sound H condescending, just maybe raising the issue to men posting themselves topleesh without a second thought, despite considering themselves allies of the topleesh equality cause.
*sorry as always for the incoherent baby talk, but as longtime followers know, haters have weaponized false flagging to get my content unfairly banned so many times already that I'm on every algorithm's sheet list, only compounding the reality that my content is banned to a degree no one else is. This post will probably also get banned, so feel free to screenshot it and share it yourself!
So I'm a #freethenipple / #toplessEquality activist, and one of the things I've been trying to offer as a #patreon perk is a free digital copy of some "artistic nude" photoshoots I did in the past. But I haven't been able to figure out an easy way to set it up for donors to choose and download one--I've just been manually emailing them each month, which is very time consuming, and a lot of the donors get confused at the process of going to https://www.toplesstopics.org/photopicker/ to see the photos I have up so far, then fill out the form I made there to select the photo, then I email the photo, to every donor, every month...again, very time consuming and awkward 😅
What I'd love to do is set it up so that every month Patreon donors get some kind of "Credits," then they can spend those credits at their leisure, either pick from already available photos, or wait until I am able to set up new shoots and choose from those instead. Is there any kind of existing plugin or widget or whatever that can do this?
My site is in Wordpress because I don't know how to code at all, and the web designer I hired previously was very slow, and totally ghosted me after a year of hiring them, which has really burned me on hiring a new developer after that (also, it seems like the ones within my budget are charging to develop a whole site from scratch, and that's way more than I need, and also ties me into having to always use them since they'll have coded everything to their own liking...) My friend is trying to help me figure out how to set the site up better, but he's really not a #webdevelopment person either, and he's busy with other projects as well.
Eventually I also really want to set up a digital store, where people buy the "Credits" then change in the credits for the photos. I have to do it this way, because the folks over at #stripe are anti- #nudity#sexist faschies, who say that using their service to sell artistic nude photos, or even just photos of female-presenting people with their nipples visible is "selling porn" - you can read about my whole fight with them at https://www.toplesstopics.org/fkstripe/ (but somehow if I applied a filter to make the photos look painted, all of a sudden it's allowed?)
So I thought that maybe if I could sell the "Credits" that could then be traded for the photos, that would get around their insane anti-nudity policies. But for now, I want to focus on the #patreon donor tier reward, as it would make it so much easier on me, and free up more of my time to actually make new videos, etc.
I really hope someone on here has some advice on how to do this. I've been flailing around trying to figure out how to do this with the existing widgets I can find, and none of them have worked the way I need them to. Please help ❤️
