“Clothing has been put on us from the day we were born, and we were trained to wear it at a pre-rational, purely emotional stage in life. It was never questioned; we never ask *whether* we are going to wear clothes, but only what clothes we are going to wear. This lesson was instilled in us with dogmatic vehemence by our parents, who reacted with horror and embarrassment if we didn't follow the rules, further impressing on us the seriousness of the rule.” —Name Withheld
“Nudity’s normalisation challenges objectification and promotes equality by removing status markers like clothing. Moreover, it cultivates a more authentic, non-judgmental social environment, emphasising people over appearances. While cultural sensitivities vary, embracing nudity can contribute to a society that values individuality, self-expression, and interconnectedness, celebrating the natural human form as a unifying symbol.” ——COLM, Chipping away at the norm, cloth by cloth. - Irish Naturist Association
