Long before the body I sense through* is TOUCHED by #overwear🩲
it is PERPETUALLY invisibly POKED and PRODDED by incessant THREATS
which might as well be a drip-feed of adrenaline/cortisol— #STRESS
*The majority clearly do not recognise this body as ‘MINE’ given endorsement of exogenous manipulation.

Extremist—absolutist #NEVERnude #modesty MANDATORS seem to think our SENSORY “genital area & anal area” are EXCLUSIVELY ‘SEXUALLY’ sensitive (& #sex is #TABOO!)
Almost ALL of the time, my skin informs me about environmental temperature, sunlight, moisture, & if I am being TOUCHED—incl by #overwear🩲.

If a collar (& lead) is placed around a dog’s neck🦮, is the WHOLE dog on a lead?
If a jockey rides the saddled🐎 middle of a horse🏇, is the WHOLE horse ridden?
If a person’s genito-anal area is entombed—incarcerated—engulfed—enclosed in OTHERS’ #overwear🩲, is ANY of that person free?
#ObsceneExposure

#DefensivelyDressed
The polar opposite of self-PROTECTIVE #armour,
self-ABUSIVE (blaming, body (appearance)-shaming, sexually touching, rubbing…) #overwear🩲 is worn defensively against people THREATENING VIOLENCE to those who don’t
self-ADMINISTER &
NOT REMOVE a pre-administered
genital #disguise🥸🎭.

The Australian term (and #overwear— ‘swimwear’* brand) ‘budgy smuggler’ highlights how pro- #modesty movements redefine at-rest surface anatomy as (illicit) #contraband… which, to move, must be
1. made #clandestine and
2. covertly, #smuggled.
*As if anyone would enCLOTHE themselves before swimming.😵‍💫

If objects engage with your body, you are in a relationship with those objects.
For one’s butt and genitals to be gripped and, when moving, brushed/rubbed, and very possibly pushed against—squeezed, squashed, scrunched up…by #exotech #overwear🩲 sure feels like something that requires #consent to me.
