Why can't nudists use pen names?
In a recent site I addressed six practical things that naturists can do to be more proactive in promoting naturism. The first suggestion was to come out of the closet' as a naturist to trusted people family, friends and co-workers. It's interesting that this idea is frequently satisfied with a reasonable number of dynamic dialogue. It really is after all a sensitive issue.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/a-naturist/nudist-sex.html , that was posted as public comment, was cynical and judgmental (peculiar indeed coming from fellow naturists), indicating that FKK leaders are hypocritical to suggest that naturists come out', while they themselves use pen names. The criticism was so far off balance it deserves some attention, in order that new nudies, who may run into such extremist attitudes, don't shy away from naturism and the pleasure of sharing our unclothed culture with others.
Let's start by noting that the recommendation to come out as a naturist was balanced with satisfactory advice. We urged that the coming out be exercised with care aimed at trustworthy people in your life and with the understanding that there are some folks you may never tell your nudie ventures to. This is because, for a number of people, it can have serious effects - in the work place for example. Use of https://s3.amazonaws.com/a-naturist/young-nudists-pics.html in national media is one kind of caution that a number of people choose for all types of valid motives. In fact it is a standard practice in many settings other than simply nudism.
Naturist pen names
The notion of coming out is in no way hypocritical with respect to using pen names on the internet or in the world media at large. There's an apparent and tremendous common sense difference between coming out to trusted people within your real life family, close social groups and professional network vs. coming out willy-nilly to the entire world through online social media, movie, television, etc. Graduating from the use of a pen name to the use of one's real name can be a very big decision with far reaching consequences, which for some individuals involves many complex factors. Evidently, many performers and writers use pen names their whole lives. They even use their nom de plume when recommending for specific causes. Yet it appears like just in the nudie world do we have a smattering of tyrannical naturists who vehemently and vocally assert that all their hard work doesn't mean much because they usually do not attach their birth name. Some rationales that nudie leaders who decide to come out to family and friends, but not to the world at large, include things like: stalkers, intimidation, public slander, occupation related susceptibility, societal or extended family complications and the list continues on.
The type of immature, one-size-fits-all doctrine, that accuses naturist leaders of hypocrisy for the usage of pen names is thoughtless truly. It smacks of radical fanaticism and surely which is nothing that our nudie movement needs in the hyper body-phobic culture we live in. Actually caring, loving dispositions toward fellow naturists about when and how a naturist comes out, using pen names (or NOT) etc., means respecting other's fundamental right for solitude. Arrogantly chiding some individuals for not measuring as much as an artificially contrived and fanatically imposed set of rules makes absolutely no sense. That's the most certain method to set the wrong model to new nudies and may (understandably) scare them away.

I mean after all, what these critics of FKK are actually signifying by their thoughtless remarks is that anyone who wants to get involved in naturism and desires to blog or urge for this within the media, is a hypocrite if they'ren't willing or capable to reveal to the whole world all their personal info?
At FKK we don't strive to set such callous expectations of others. https://s3.amazonaws.com/a-naturist/femdom-beach.html of pen names by some FKK leaders and not by others is the FKK manner of saying it is all about the love!' We don't expect folks to stop trying their privacy or personal freedom in order to become a nudie if they do not freely choose to do this.
In conclusion, let's trust that most nudies value each other (naturist leader or not) enough to enable one another the common courtesy to be as open or discreet as they choose about their alternative to practice naturism.
