When I see "Think of the children" I wonder if the speaker has looked at all at the research.
West, K. (2023). Think of the children!: Relationships between nudity‐related experiences in childhood, body image, self‐esteem and adjustment. Children & Society, 37(4), pp.1187-1202.
West's research documents that when children are exposed to healthy nudity that they have a greater body image and self-esteem. Over the past century there have numerous studies looking for potential impacts and none have shown any lasting harm from parents being nude with their children.
As Mark Twain said "No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot."
Also, there's the simple concept that the nature of the bill will harm children by teaching them that "[might of] conformity makes right", as they witness this anti-acceptance/rejection/persecution for diversity and the human body.
This is textile authoritarianism, where human beings are harmed just for existing without cowering behind uniform binary-caste assigned textiles, and by example we're teaching children they must cower behind their assigned textiles or be witch hunted. Whether the harm is verbal violence or judicial persecution, if it's enacted due to mere difference of choice of clothing, we're showing children "it's ok to harm others if they're different"
"Surely the psychological damage imposed by textile authoritarianism is obvious," I continue to conclude, while mainstream ppl seem more and more insane, insanity which functions as evidence of the psychological damage.
Sounds like the bill would ban reruns of M*A*S*H with Klinger in a dress. How un-American is that?
Have no plans to ever visit the mistake by the lake again.
Is there anyway to talk to the people responsible anonymously? Thoughts?
Not sure what you mean. Which "people responsible," do you mean? The legislators sponsoring this bill?
The legislators and representatives who are pushing for this bill.
Stop Bill 249 NOW!.

Yes.

Republican-leaning nudists in Ohio, this is your time to shine. Step up to the plate and talk to your lawmakers.
