Genuinely Human

“Shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection. Is there something about me, that if other people know it or see it, that I won’t be worthy of connection?” —Brené Brown “We believe that everyone is born a nudist. They are taught to be textiles using methods like shame and sexualization…” —@KimandJim1 on x.com “—as where nudity is the natural heritage of a people in which all natural functions are regarded without shame or embarrassment in a life of unhurried simplicity— love, work, play, song, and dance are its natural accompaniments. Such was life among our ancient ancestors.” — Ashley Montegu “Nudism facilitates being genuinely human.” —Hartman, Fithian, & Johnson 1970, 1991
