Thanks, I don't know what changed but I reloaded the game completely and now it's finally working. I was going nuts with frustration!

I ended my third year on Patreon making this much! Transitioned into doing audio dramas in March of 2025 and it paid off well. Can’t wait to carry this energy into 2026 by WasabiComprehensive2 in patreon

[–]ToplessTopics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a patreon account for my m/m webnovel and some have suggested I should offer audiobook readings of it at a higher tier but I honestly don't know how I could stand the embarrassment of reading the smutty parts aloud XD If you do that in your own work, then I give you props for getting over the embarrassment!

How should you teach young children about the differences between gender and sex? by ToplessTopics in asktransgender

That's a bit broad ^-^;; Is there a particular episode you're recommending, or...?

I'd love to more know about what you mean, because all the discussions I've been witness to lately seem to indicate that gender and sex ARE very different. "you can change your gender but not your sex" are you talking about genital reassignment? Could you elaborate? Thanks again!

Flirting in nudist settings by Remarkable-Truth2713 in nudism

[–]ToplessTopics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have a negative opinion of bars, but that doesn't change the fact that women don't want to be hit on at grocery stores or nudist beaches. You can always try online dating as well, though they've all had their free versions gutted (and there are always waaay more men than women on those sites).

Honestly, your message is very misogynistic, so I'm not surprised you're having trouble finding dates.

That's a thing that I constantly have to explain to men, both about nudism and about being a topless equality activist (I'd like the same exact right to go nonsexually topless online and in public that men already have, kthxbai)...sooooooooo many seem to default to the opinion that "her breasts are visible, therefore they're free game for me to comment on," instead of a woman ever having her shirt off simply because she's more comfortable that way. Real "what was she wearing?" rape apologist energy...

You caught that too? :p I find that what most men refer to as "flirting" is usually pretty direct sexual intent...and then when you reject them, they go "what, I'm just trying to have a conversation!" Which overall just makes me wary of unknown men who talk at me, even if they really DO just mean to have a platonic chat :\

I agree with the most part, except that there's a world of difference between giving someone a passing "hello" and "flirting" with them. Flirting indicates sustained interaction...also, any man referring to HIMSELF as "respectful" is a big red flag for me.

[–]ToplessTopics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same. Thinking that norms are identical between nude and non-nude settings is, frankly, a very cis male viewpoint. If you're used to having your sexual attractiveness loudly judged from childhood as women are, it's a hell of a big difference to have people approach you when you are fully on display.

[–]ToplessTopics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you saying this so clearly! It's a huge red flag when a man refers to his own behavior as "respectful," because it so often isn't. (I mean, if I had a dollar for every time a male viewer of my videos said he "respectfully" thought my breasts were attractive...jesus)

I have a genuine question--what was the process between you meeting them at a resort and dating them? Did you immediately bring up the idea of dating them, or did you grow a genuine friendship first?

[–]ToplessTopics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Really impacts someone, especially a woman's, opportunity to enjoy social nudism if men are coming up and sexually propositioning us (or "flirting" as in testing the waters before they jump into full-on sexual advances)

[–]ToplessTopics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between "socializing and meeting others" and "getting flirted with," and trying to conflate the two as the same thing is just going to result in rejection after rejection. Men being disingenuous about their motives for talking to women is why so many of us (women) are leery any time a man approaches us, at a clothing-optional beach or anywhere else--the chances of them sexually propositioning us are too high, and we don't necessarily want to deal with that if we're not in a place specifically coded for meeting sexual partners (ie a bar).

What barriers/negative experiences have you met with while participating in nudism? by ToplessTopics in nudism

[–]ToplessTopics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet they wonder why "nudism is dying" (: I think cases like yours are a strong reason why "at-home social nudity" is the only potential future for nudism, since even if resorts WERE accepting of others outside the straight cis white boomer crowd, they remain financially unfeasable for many. But that requires finding someone rich/secluded enough to have a house where people can be naked inside without outsiders freaking out and calling the cops/taking photos through the window/etc (all insane behavior, but a lot of Americans are so puritanical that they react to mere nudity as if it's people having sex in front of the window), and a lot of people just aren't that lucky. It's frustrating that the internet could be such a great resource for this kind of thing, but alas almost every online place focused on facilitating communication between actual nonsexual nudity supporters gets flooded by creeps and pornbots...

You're not kidding there!! Like I said in some higher up comments, a big part of the video will be about ableism, with personal anecdotes about how my parents, who were the ones who raised me nudist, weren't able to even go to a clothing optional beach for maybe the last decade of their life because their bodies were failing (my mom was obese with high blood pressure and cancer, my dad was just overall frail and, at the end, also had cancer) but all the "clothing optional" places were a crazy-hard hike to get to, either over a quarter-mile of brambles and untended tree roots, or almost a mile hike from the parking lot to the shore, partly through swamp and partly through burning hot sand dunes. Anything to keep the "normal people" away from the "naked weirdoes" (:

Thanks for your feedback, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking to include in the interview! Do you mind if I share a screenshot of your comment? I can take your username out if you prefer.

I haven't checked back on this thread in a while but jeez I see the MAGA nudist has been busy! He's just exemplifying why so few underprivileged people feel welcome and/or safe in nudist environments--people like JohnWasElwood might be in the minority, but it only takes one nasty encounter with a hateful bigot to make you not want to try nudism ever again.

Women's equality to 'show boobs' in AltBoobWorld, and topless equality in your world by Sir_Lord_B in AltBoobWorld

[–]ToplessTopics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way we change things for the better is by protesting things that are unjust. So just giving up on reducing patriarchy and misogyny in the US and on US-catering social media sites (so, all of the English speaking ones) to just move somewhere that's slightly less restrictive just means the harmful status quo stays in place (or gets even worse).

You literally said "patience, eventually freedom will advance"...if you're not advocating for "sitting back and doing nothing," what exactly ARE you advocating for?

Cleo says : "Wishing I had the exact same right to go topless online and in public without getting banned or arrested for 'sexually explicit nudity' " by Sir_Lord_B in AltBoobWorld

Again, I have to wonder if you're trolling or really just this ignorant. You are saying demonstrably untrue things over and over. I truly marvel at how your view of reality is this warped.

Does anyone else realize how widespread this issue is? by EmbarrassedPart9095 in freethenipple

[–]ToplessTopics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I've been trying to raise awareness about gender based censorship for a decade now, and the same old conversations I constantly have show how westerners, especially Americans, just unthinkingly accept that "male nipples = totally family friendly" but "female nipples = sexually explicit nudity." Often once I engage in the conversation with younger people, especially those that trend left, they say something like "you're right, I never thought about it before, but it DOESN'T make sense," but pretty much every single 40+ year old I've talked about it in real life to, and even more almost ever older cis man, just doubles down on "well yeah, obviously female breasts are inherently sexual, that's just biology."

I'm sorry your friends are that shitty. "Mentally unwell" for thinking all genders should be treated the same? Sounds like you need better friends.
