That's the thing - she's still 'called out' for being a topless women in public, despite not having breasts or nipples. For some people it seems the fact that she is female is enough to mean she 'should cover up'.

Every day we try to put the 'nature' in naturism. Part of that is making ethical choices about what we use every day. The theme this #EarthDay is #OurPowerOurPlanet. Living where we do we can't produce our own power, but we can opt for a green energy supplier.
