At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.
@brucelawson In Ontario Canada, Gwen Jacob was charged with indecency when she took her top off on a hot day. That led to a legal fight that eventually granted women the right to be topless in Ontario, since 1996.
@lauriekay9 @brucelawson And if a woman goes topless in Ontario, she receives cat-calls and harassment (except in a Pride parade), while police do nothing. Net change: virtually nil.
@alan @brucelawson That is 💯correct. Women have the legal right to be topless in Ontario, but it will be a long time before the collective maturity exists to cope with it.
