A woman has spoken out after her friend's two-year-old daughter was asked to cover up at a swimming pool.
Katie Sturino from New York City took to Instagram to share an anecdote from a friend who took her toddler for a swimming lesson.
The little girl was dressed in swimsuit bottoms when two lifeguards approached her mother and said that she must cover up, despite many of the other little boys at the pool also being half dressed.
The lifeguard told the mother that there was no nudity allowed by the pool, but Katie has criticized this logic and said that 'different rules for boys and girls start young and are reinforced constantly'.
Katie asked social media users for their opinions on the controversial topic, and many were enraged about the 'insane' approach to children.
The video, which attracted over 300,000 likes, revealed the details of the incident and Katie asked viewers whether toddler girls should have to cover up.
She said: 'I was just catching up with my friend, and she said that her two-year-old daughter was at her swim lessons yesterday and all the little boys around her were shirtless.
'Baby boys were shirtless in diapers and she was in... a swimsuit bottom and didn't have her rash guard on yet and the lifeguard came over.
'Two different lifeguards came over at two different times and said "ma'am you need to put a shirt on your daughter, there's no nudity allowed at the pool"'.
Katie quickly conveyed her anger at the lifeguard's comment and said: 'This is when they start policing our bodies.'
She added that this is when girls are told that there is something wrong with themselves, that they must cover up, and that women's bodies are not appropriate.

“Lol. My daughters would do likewise.”
Just to be clear, they would go bonkers, not topless.
There appears to be no common sense anymore in this woke new world order.
Yes exactly. Mom’s revenge for teenage angst.
“Little girls should only have to cover up if Joe Biden is around.”
You win.
I am thinking that it is because of the pedo predators that are out there.
"I have never heard of a rash guard."
My neighbor’s 9-year-old daughter wears a top and a g-string.
That’s not right. Neighbor should be shot o.O
I have seen way too may very little girls wearing almost nothing in public and parents just fine with it. what are they teaching their child?
It’s just crazy now. We’ve seen unchaperoned and “well developed” female teens wearing almost nothing, too. I do really wonder what parents are thinking. Do they want every dirty old man ogling their young minor daughters?
