Trust me when I say this: none of the right-wing media/politicians, will understand that they've made any points on behalf of the protestors by blurring the "men's" nipples.
Also, saying men can go around topless but not women, is sexist. Any such law should be removed. We should all be equal in the eyes of the law. With that said: that shouldn't imply that women should go around topless. It should just be legally allowed. I'm a guy, but I don't think I need to explain to anyone the potential complications from going around topless as a woman... Whether trans or not.
The whole situation is dumb. Society needs to do better. We're all people. Let's keep that in mind and treat everyone the same, based on the fact that they are a human person in society. No legal separation of sex, gender, race, religion, or anything else. If you are a human person, you should have the same rights and freedoms as every other human person.

It's normal and fairly mundane for men to go topless in virtually all societies, however, there are a good number of cultures where it is also normal for women to be topless. If it is normal and mundane for women to be topless, then it becomes a non-issue eventually. It's only racy because we're trained in our culture to find it racy.

You won't find disagreement here.
The fact of the matter is that the change won't happen overnight; and there's already a disproportional number of assaults against women, even if they're fully dressed when the assault begins.
While the argument of "she was asking for it" relating to what someone is wearing, is entirely bullshit and without any merit, and the fact that it's on the male culture to... Idk, not be rapists, and not encourage rapists and rapist tenancies; I know plenty of women that don't want to risk encouraging such behavior against themselves. Whether they should need to or not isn't material to the point. They don't feel safe otherwise.
I'm not going to tell anyone what to wear. I will say that maybe people just shouldn't rape other people, regardless of circumstances. No, not maybe. They definitely should not, under any circumstances, ever rape anyone. Just don't rape people.
Anyways. It would be a long road to get to the place you propose, and a lot of violence would likely happen before we would see the ideal that you are describing. I wish it was different, but I can't change the world, I can only change myself.

In the late 90s or early aughts here in Canada women challenged and won the right to go topless as well as men. I can't recall seeing in person any women exercising that right myself, and it won't surprise me if the religions conservatives here have managed to overturn that directly or indirectly, but as a teenager/young adult i thought it was cool at the time that Canada fixed that inequality
Didn't really have a point here just felt like sharing

OH! Finally! A chance to use my knowledge acquired from scrolling wikipedia while procrastinating! That law hasn't been overturned and is still, well, law. Of course every once in a while some clueless cop (because why should somebody enforcing the law, know the law sigh) will ask a topless sunbather to cover up. Here's the article.

True, however we are also trained to be everything. Literally whole law, moral system and everything about human society is subjective and made up. Should we pursue to deconstruct this subjectivity? No it is what allows us to function. However we should pursue equality in an egalitarian sense of every member of society.
Our subjective and made up rules should be equal for all members of the society and where they cannot be because they meet biological objectivity there they need to be humane and in best interest of the person in light of law so that the person can live with dignity and possess full autonomy unless judged to be stripped away from such

Saying 'women shouldn't go around topless' isn't allowing society to function. It's sexist and demonizes women's bodies in a way that promotes violence against women. Deconstruct your society or don't, but don't be surprised when you end up in a death camp because you thought it was fine to give second class person status to half your population.

It’s like on the last place of my problems but if this is what most people want then we should obviously change it. However something tells me that it’s not a problem and most people do not care if it wasn’t ever even voted on.
Loud minority screams "I wanna go naked on the streets" and honestly it’s one of the more ridiculous things. Let’s focus on real problems such as abortion and whole birth giver societal asymmetry and how to fairly address it to make society more egalitarian.
No one is seriously thinking “oh no I have to put my shirt on before going out, this is fascism” men and women alike aren’t going bare chested in the city in the streets because this is how we agreed. No one wants to see your saggy breasts and no one wants to see disgusting male beer bellies.
Go to the beach and there go topless all you want. That’s what I do anyway. We collectively agreed that this is where it is fine to do so. Or on your property, you can walk even completely naked all you want.
I know my one neighbor is every morning going naked on the balcony and has a huge cock so I guess it’s kind of confidence thing too. Generally he is built rather nicely to look at. Still his balcony so he can do whatever he wants no matter how attractive and I can go naked on my balcony too

Why can't trans women count as women? Trans women have historically faced even higher rates of discrimination than cis women.

I've never bought this notion that recognizing trans women as women in turn affects women's rights or systems that support women. That's like saying just because my 23 and me came back 1% African we should stop DEI because if everyone is diverse then it doesn't make sense to support diversity. (I swear to God, if I get Trump jokes—).
Life is complicated and we've managed to evolve systems to handle it before, we can continue. If I can have 3 ways to sort my 401k or do my taxes then I can have a world where I'm a feminist and that includes trans women
