RND: Is there a downside to nudism?
Interesting question. Let me think...That would be like asking is there a downside to LIFE! Life is what you make it, and nudism is too. If you want to use social nudity for good (whether your own, or another's), then you can do that. If you want to use it to deliberately try to make other people uncomfortable, feel unsafe or deliberately, offend them, then that is an abuse of nudism and a definite example of a downside. So, it depends how you and why you do it! We should have the freedom to be nude and be given the benefit of the doubt that we are doing it for friendly reasons, just like people anyone has the freedom to wear whatever they want which includes the burqa as muslims, which I respect as a radically cross-culturally tolerant person myself.
RND: Please tell us more about BIRTDAYDIVE.
A casual idea from a friend turned into a body image campaign vision earlier this year and I'm proud of myself for stepping into fear and coming out the other side FREE and empowered to tell my story! We're raising money for three powerful projects to combat body image and my favorite one is the scientific study we're going to commission looking at the positive effects of naturism on body image, to help improve the understanding of its benefits in the mainstream worldwide.
RND: What social networking is nudist friendly, in your opinion?
Facebook (and Instagram which it bought) is the ONLY remaining large social network that still doesn't allow simple non-sexual nudity on its platform!
