Legal and LGBT Crosspost regarding legal rights of transsexuals?

I think that the underlying issue is that women aren't allowed to be topless and men are.

I know that they are just making illegal what is not culturally accepted, but it has no logical backing, so they should just give up on it!

I think that the courts would side with the accused man. If he was legally a man, they could not do anything to him for being topless at a beach or something.

Well since no one changes their gender with surgery.... ahh, I'll let it slide this time. You mean sex, not gender. They aren't the same thing.

Where I come from it is not illegal for a woman to be topless in public, nor would it be for a transman I imagine. Unless there's some sort of disgusting clause in there. And I can't imagine any transman who would want to walk around with his chest exposed before surgery... or maybe I'm alone on that one.

Again, I apparently come from a much happier place than you. Those who are trans enjoy each and every right that any other citizen has where I live. Some officers of the law may have prejudices but they aren't policy.

Hmm..now I should try this.

I'm still pre-op, but due to some glitch when I changed my name, social security and the DMV listed "M" on my license and all my other legal documents. So, legally I'm male.

I've been wanting to go topless in the summer anyway...lol.

Nah..I wouldn't really do this, but you DO raise a good point.

Also, yeah..what ABOUT those bio guys with beer bellies, man boobs, and hairy backs and stuff? Who wants to see THAT exposed in public?

Actually it depends on where you live. Here a woman can go topless as the courts ruled that a woman's breast are not a sex organ. This is still not a common occurrence here however.

that's purely yet another argument for why the regulation ought to deal with adult males and females the two. the two make it one hundred% criminal for each physique to stroll around topless, or ban it for adult males besides as women. somewhat frankly, some adult males look terrible with their bushy guts and their guy-boobs mind-blowing out, so present day public "decency" rules at the instant are not something wanting sexist and hypocritical. possibilities are high, you are going to be able to desire to get the ordinances on your city replaced by skill of submitting a lawsuit based on the equivalent protection clause. The undesirable information is that with united statesa.'s puritanical physique of strategies in direction of nudity, it extremely is maximum in all probability that they are going to easily ban all people from going topless. yet once you reside in a liberal adequate section, you are going to be able to desire to get fortunate.

And what about all those men who have man-boobs? Can they be arrested for walking around topless? I mean, maybe they oughta be, but is it legal?

no clue, why would a trans man want to walk around with out his shirt on if he still has breasts?

Amen on the manboobs comment, I was just thinking the same thing actually...
