A transgender woman from Victoria, B. Courtney Demone has only been on hormone replacement therapy for the past several months and h er breasts haven't fully developed yet so she's been able to share topless photos of herself on social media. But, by next year, she'll have developed her female physique and she's waiting to see when her body will be "sexualised enough" to be censored. Her online experiment — documenting her transition topless — will push the boundaries of companies, like Facebook and Instagram, which only allow photos of men's exposed nipples. Demone wants her project to become a "conversation starter" about the double standard women face in society. The writer has been sharing her journey on a weekly basis online both in print with fellow co-author Cynthia Williams and through visuals using the tags DoIHaveBoobsNow and FreeAllBodies. In an interview with CBC, she recalled how embracing her femininity has led to unwelcome attention. She felt the "privileges" she once held as a man start to erode. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus , and models Cara Delevigne and Chrissy Teigen have routinely spoken out about the double standard when it comes women's bodies through the online campaign freethenipple.

They were to entertain a group of more than ten mute Chinese tourists, and would be paid 4, baht each for the job.

The sales assistant says she has no regrets at all about the show and it is not the last time she will be appearing on television. Amira is the first transgender contestant to appear on the show, which is presented by Anna Richardson. And she told the Advertiser that she always knew she was different. I just knew, but I always felt feminine.
