Post-transition MtF.

They are still men, according to regressives, because transitioning isn't a real thing and their "biological sex" says so.

Taking action against them being topless requires admitting they are women, because topless men are generally considered acceptable to be televised.

It's important to note that this wouldn't actually work for a number of reasons. Foremost among them is that those in power don't actually care about consistency or adhering to the law, they just want to get their way all the time and usually the law is a convenient blunt instrument to achieve that.

On top of that the wording around indecency regulations is often intentionally vague, full of "you know it when you see it" type language, so that anything and everything can be considered indecent if you squint and get offended easily enough.

Plus regressives can always just fall back on the classic position of trans people just being inherently indecent, so it doesn't matter what they're doing, they're going to stop them from being broadcast regardless.

Pigeon, chess, et cetera.

Remember when Verizon bought Tumblr and banned "female presenting nipples"?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
