Bea Sullivan-Knoff filed the federal suit in 2016 seeking to overturn the ordinance that prohibits liquor license holders from allowing women from exposing their breasts without imposing the same restriction on men. Sullivan-Knoff, a performance artist, described the measure as “sexist and transphobic,” slamming the restriction as an “embarrassment” to a modern American city.
Sullivan-Knoff also sought compensatory and punitive damages for the difficulties she faced living as a working artist whose act depends on being bare-breasted. The city didn’t provide any details of a cash settlement.
Jeez, that’s bad. Big settlement and then leaves the city for a law that will no longer apply to him.

I don’t get it, she/he has a mans chest so needs no shirt regardless of anything else. Unless he had implants, then the law says they have to cover them up even though they are fake. The law just applies to the body part hanging out.
Hormones make breasts. So it was forced to cover up the hormone induced breasts. It challenged the law. Woke Chicago settled. Because, you know, there’s so many customers who’ve complained about men with breasts who by law must wear pasties. Of all the laws in Chicago, this unwoke law was the most pressing.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
