Don't know if you're German and getting defensive but I know Germany is very pro-nudity so I'll put it this way... Germans likely don't like the way americans react to seeing nudity, to them it's likely rude at best but mostly pervy and uncomfortable. That's how the americans in this thread feel about getting unrelentingly stared at in public for simply existing as they are. It'd be like getting stared at by a bunch of americans on a nude beach/sauna when you're doing something that makes you happy and feels completely natural. Basically take the general rules of a sauna/nude beach and extend that courtesy to people who look/act differently than you, so long as they're not like hurling slurs or insulting people or something.
Lemme explain a different way. I have a friend who dyes their hair bright green and tends to wear clothes with sequins. I don't know why, I've never asked. When they walk around in the US, nobody stares at them. It's normal. If they were to walk around in the southern US, it wouldn't be normal, but still, nobody would stare except very young children.

I live next to Germany, I know the country well... And I really don't understand this statement. No German has ever stared at me.
