Women could soon be allowed to bare more flesh in Chicago strip clubs that sell liquor in a loosening of the citys nudity rules following a settlement of a federal lawsuit brought by a transgender woman.
Bea Sullivan-Knoff filed the federal lawsuit in 2016 because she said it was discriminatory that she couldnt appear topless without pasties covering her nipples as part of her performance art pieces.
Sullivan-Knoff on Thursday said Mayor Lori Lightfoots administration had agreed to settle the suit by removing all references to gender from the statutes governing how much flesh can be shown in various Chicago establishments.
I am grateful that women and trans, nonbinary and intersex folks now have the option to express their bodies more freely in this city, Sullivan-Knoff said at a City Hall news conference.
Sullivan-Knoffs attorney, Brendan Shiller, said the settlement will also ease rules that currently require women to affix pasties if the establishment in which they are performing sells liquor.
That is one of the side effects, yes, Shiller said. It no longer makes a gender distinction, and that was the citys choice in terms of when we negotiated, how they would resolve this.

Since I don’t go to Gentlemen’s Clubs (Fancy name for a strip club), I don’t care. Who know maybe someone will bring an age discrimination suit for not hiring young teens, most likely a Muslim who is looking for his 13 year old wife...(or a pedo looking...)
Transgender woman... a physical and biological impossibility.
The left ruins absolutely everything.
So the tranny wants to show MORE? There are no words...
Changing the law to let strippers wear less is not going to turn strip club customers off.
TSR this lawsuit was not brought on by that wax my nuts man was it??
A friend’s father was a Chicago police detective, He always maintained that many of the performers were in fact males!
Late 1960’s early 70’s.
Elizabeth Warren will be there with a wad of bills in 3.2.1...
I’ve never been in a strip club
and won’t go to one now, with
the uncertainty of what I’m
actually looking at.
No, this is a different guy. Wants to show off more of his “feminine” body to the audience.
