Major feeling is one of relief. The courage of the riders (whether rugged up or not) needs to be acknowledged. They gave demonstrated vicious thugs an opportunity to attack the most vulnerable while showing their contempt for the same thugs. It would have been only fear of ridicule that stopped any attacks. More nudes and frogs to the barricades!
I appreciate the article highlighting the World Naked Bike Ride in Portland. As a proud nudist, I find value in the principles of body positivity and freedom that nudism promotes. However, I don't align with the notion of using nudism as a form of protest.
While I understand the desire to express vulnerability and solidarity with various causes, nudism, for me, is about personal freedom and comfort rather than a political statement. Unfortunately, many people misinterpret nudism and associate it with being “crazy,” which can detract from its true essence as a lifestyle choice based on body acceptance.
Nudism can foster a sense of community and self-acceptance without necessarily tying it to political agendas. I believe it’s essential to celebrate nudism as a form of self-expression and personal freedom while maintaining some distinction from its use in protests, which can sometimes lead to misunderstanding.
I don’t like Trump’s Gestapo officers. Get out!
