6:43Now PlayingWhat happens if someone is a trans woman, is in the process of transitioning, and decides to post a topless photo? Courtney Demone is a person who's trying to question that. She's trying to raise awareness the Free The Nipple campaign from the perspective of a trans woman.
Ana Kasparian (The Point), Wes Clark Jr., and Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! & TYT Sports) break it down. What do you think about nipples, male or female, on social media? Let us know in the comments.

"Courtney Demone is a trans woman currently undergoing hormone replacement therapy and, as such, is starting to grow breasts. This experience, she wrote in a Mashable essay published Wednesday, has led her to realize the power of #FreeTheNipple in a new way — and how it can truly benefit others.
"When people start to consistently see me as a woman, my privilege to be comfortably topless in public will be gone for good," she writes. "We can challenge that."
Demone's solution? She's launching the hashtag #DoIHaveBoobsNow and will post topless images of herself on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. She will do so, she writes, "until those networks decide that my breasts have developed enough to be sexualized and worthy of censorship" or, ideally, change their policies."*
