@Saerise @georgetakei This happened in 2011, so maybe it isn't still a thing there?

Sadly, @Normdeplume, despite losing a few court cases, Tennessee has only become more determined to oppress trans & other LGBTQ people.
Status as of last year (does not include the numerous anti-trans & anti-LGBTQ bills filed in NT the last few weeks):

@Frances_Larina @Saerise @georgetakei yeah, that was wishful thinking on my part. I live in a land of high taxes, stupid weather, and fairly solid rights. It's disheartening to think about how fellow Americans are having to live. 😢

I'm in California and compared to a state like Tennessee, it's like two different nations. The values expressed by our laws are so radically different.

@Normdeplume @Saerise @georgetakei i was confused so i looked it up. it would appear tennessee law changed since 2011. the 2010 code, exposing female breasts was considered indecent exposure - but in the current version of tennessee law it is only indecent exposure if done intentionally in front of a child and not for the purposes of breastfeeding.

so i guess they fixed it?

The most heoric allies post alarming news stories from a decade ago, without mentioning the timing, so people think their rights are worse off than they actually are.

And who needs CWs when the audience that matters is the cis hets?

@celesteh @bri_seven @Normdeplume @Saerise @georgetakei Arguably on considereble counts human rights are in fact worse of than a decade ago..

@celesteh
you want a CW over what, exactly? the word "topless"?

also, yeah. cws are to protect minorities, not the Cream of the Crop who have had the entire society catered to their delicate cis male sensibilities throughout US, and most human history. as the kids say, "learn to sit with your discomfort." 😊

@bri_seven
they still arrest women for having their shirt off, trust me. it's up to the cops' discretion if it's "in front of a child", and ACAB, so...

@bri_seven
uh, you think women getting arrested for being topless around kids, like males are LITERALLY AT EVERY POOL, BEACH AND ONLINE are, is "fixed"?

@Saerise @georgetakei Sometimes, I wish I could amend my birth certificate to say I was born in a different state.

@Saerise @georgetakei You're not alone. Too many states headed in wrong direction. But just have to keep shining the light on these small-minded people.

@Saerise @georgetakei It's OK. My home state was going to legislate a rational value for Pi as 3 or 3.2. The bill wasn't clear on that. Passed the State House unanimously. Died in the State Senate. F*ing Indiana.
