Am I an exception to this (once I will lose some weight and/or get a sex change)?

I don't really have an opinion either way, since I can't do it, but I might look if she's cute! My modesty would not allow me, but at home by myself I'm comfortable to let it all hang out.

B.S.. I have lived in Columbus all my life and have not seen a single woman go topless.

This country was settled by Puritans.

They left Europe because of all the nudity and sex.

True story.

Americans can't be entrusted with the same mature freedoms of other cultures.

In regards to your question here, I am against legalizing public nudity except in certain specific locations (nude beaches, et cetera). Why? Because I am not sure that it will be good for children to see fully nude adult people.

However, other than one's sexual parts/organs, I do think that individuals should probably be able to have their other body parts be uncovered/exposed (except in places/locations with dress codes, such as restaurants, et cetera).

I'm sure it's limited by the weather. Ohio's horrible climate is legendary.,

While I think public nudity in general just has too many problems, I can never figure out what is wrong with nude/topless beaches or areas designated for this on public beaches. If you don't want to see naked people, no one is forced to see it. This way the nudists can gather with like minded folks and those who don't like it and don't want to see it are not forced into it by others choices of attire or non-attire.
