Bookstores are requiring this magazine cover of a topless male model be hidden in a plastic sleeve.

The bookstores are well aware that Pejic is a man. Lacking breasts. But they are worried some customers might be confused. We do understand where some of the confusion may come from. During the last New York Fashion Week, Pejic walked the runway for five men's  shows and four women's shows, even wearing a wedding dress at the Jean-Paul Gautier show in Paris. He can be made up to look like a woman sometimes, but the fact is, Pejic is a man! And the folks at Borders and Barnes & Noble know this. He may not have jacked up muscles, and he may have his hair in curlers on the cover of an artsy fashion magazine, but no male's chest has ever been censored before, so why start now?

No.

It's stupid, hyperbolic, and overly dramatic.  But, no.

I don't know, with his hair done like that, the picture is going to confuse a lot of kids.  Someone that doesn't know this is a male could well assume it was a flat-chested girl.  As starved as models normally look, many can't have much more...

That is what I think, too. It looks like a flat chested woman.

No need for a sleeve, just place it in the gay porn section where it belongs.

That's the so-called point.

Of course that means they're about 15 years behind Marilyn Manson on this one.

When you're trolling along behind  Manson you've run out of ideas.

And about 40 years behind David Bowie.

Saw this dude (or dudette) interviewed on German TV News...
Yeah, he's queer.

Real shocker ain't it? A fine example of a modern day metrosexual.

Ditto.

Although the question I had floating in the back of my head was "if a bare chested women has no boobage, why cover it up?".
