That is absolutely BOGUS. Just because I keep a low profile and don’t have millions of pictures of myself completely naked for the whole world to see makes me a liar in any way? Or ashamed of who I truly am or who anybody else is? ABSOLUTELY NOT." More: Clearing up the misunderstanding about NoBodyShame. No lies. No hypocrisy.
Critic: I’m so sick and tired of these lies.
Our comment on the article:
This topic pops up every few years, often brought up by (as is the case here) semi-exhibitionists intolerant of others' viewpoints. This sort of divisive and pointless argument serves only to fragment our community, something we definitely don't need. Whether someone wishes to remain anonymous or not is a personal choice and no one else's business. A desire for privacy doesn't negate the message being presented.
"Please have the decency to say nothing if you still haven’t yet resolved your own issues of body shame." assumes that body shame is the issue, not all the possible legal and familial complications that could arise from open 'exposure'. It also indicates a serious lack of understanding of the whole nudist/naturist idea of MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
We stopped following that particular blogger once his agenda became apparent, and largely because we were sick and tired of seeing his body splashed all over his site. 'Ok, buddy, we've seen you nude; so? How much more of you do we need to look at?' Nudism isn't about LOOKING; it's about BEING.
"Overall, being a true naturist is not about exposing yourself to the world; being a naturist is about accepting yourself about who you truly, naturally are, no matter whether you display it on the computer publicly or not." YES!

Look around folks; do you see a lot of nude pics of Angie & Steve here? There are a few nude pics of us, sure, but why would a nudist/naturist feel the need to have a gallery of themselves? That need for self-exposure is something entirely separate from social nudism and should in no way be confused with our lifestyle. Do your own thing but please don't try to tell folks that your personal interests are part and parcel of social nudism!
