I would agree, there will be and probably already is a dampening effect, especially in conservative states like Florida. Recent nude tourism numbers (at least that I’ve seen) don’t necessarily reflect this yet, but I think those still reflect post-pandemic growth and I don’t see that continuing unabated.
DeSantis is evil. This political hit piece probably stems from the sensational press coverage of Playalinda Beach in Florida. Due to a powerful storm last year the traditionally nude part of the beach (lot 13 and north) was separated from the more southern part of the beach due to washout of the dunes. The park rangers let nudists use the northernmost part of the remaining beach (lot 8). Families wandered into that area as before and were offended by nudity. The nude part of the beach from lot 13 northward is now open but the reputational damage has been done.
Everything in Florida that Republicans don't agree with becomes evil and is politicized.
About Berlin to allow women to go topless in public swimming pools...
Even though letting women to be topless in public pools (or even on public beaches) too is a first step in the right direction, for true gender equality, it's also a step in the right direction in the right way that I am working on (as a naturism ambassador, promoter and advocate) - to make public nudity mainstream.

Well put. 👏

Whoever that crass-enstein guy is, that was wildly, incorrigibly offensive.
Yes. And sadly he seems to have already doubled down with more tweets of this nature.
Is it the kind of thing an AANR rep or Florida free beaches rep should address? Or would that be counter-productive? IDK

Thank you for this! I responded to that awful Tweet by a supposedly liberal 'journalist' and I think every naturist should.
I agree! Tell him why this is not helpful.
Thank You for these informative articles. I can see Florida is going into the Communist Realm if someone doesn't soon vote them out.
We clearly need some politicians to state they are Naturists for anything to change. Cheers to a brighter future!
