A Maryland woman has spent the past three years going bare-chested in public, in the hope of “normalizing” naked breasts. Chelsea Covington, 27, spends most of her time in places where it is legal to be topless in public, such as New York, New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C. The photos on her blog, Breasts Are Healthy, show her going about normal life—enjoying a picnic in the park, riding her bike—while nude from the waist up. Going “bare-chested is still a powerful act for a woman,” Covington said, “especially when done quietly, confidently, and peacefully.”
I was alerted to this concept of Topfreedom by my May 27th edition of The Week Magazine.
She exposes (ha! pun intended!) a very interesting point with her essay published on May 4th about defining female and defining breasts. Nowadays with all the obesity with men, they can have some breasts which look very similar to those of many women. And all the issues with sexuality and transgender. Any way, a very interesting discussion.
