I love the irony pointed out by this protest tactic.

The cis controlled state will do everything they can to "unwoman" trans women via the law but we're still female enough that cis people will lose their shit if we show fully visible breasts in public.

Notice that the published photos edited out everyone's nipples.

Topless trans protest outside Holyrood a ‘public act of grief, resistance and solidarity’

Trans women staged a topless protest outside of the Scottish parliament to condemn the UK Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of 'sex'.

@timberwraith remember the “female-presenting nipple” rule?

@oblomov @timberwraith I was going to say - this reminds me of the stories of trans women posting shirtless selfies to Facebook until Facebook determined they were female presenting enough to flag the pictures.

I think it was Tumblr (and KYM seems to agree with me <https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/female-presenting-nipples>) but yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

Sadly, exposing the irony and hypocrisy of these decisions isn't enough to reverse them 8-(

@oblomov @AT1ST @timberwraith Speaking as a cisqueer guy here. I have "standard" cismale-presenting nipples but a bigger chest than some cis women I know carrying them. That's just how I grew.
