“Dance naked, lose followers, gain leaders,” he wrote. “P.S. why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes? We’ve been taught poorly and groomed to hold shame for ourselves; our human bodies. No matter what we look like, each of us is made to feel incorrect inside our own physical form, told that in order to survive and be a functioning, liked, and well-respected person in society, we should hide this form from the world.”
He continued, “That shit sounds whack to me. Now, I’m not at all at the confidence level to be neked in public lol, maybe one day i hope, but I’m sure as hell working on sharing and showing off my body to myself … and it feels good.”
We could agree with Lonsdale more.
