There are literal sex differences between men and women. If we include those in the definition of sexism, we cheapen the word.
You should apply for the fantastic four with that much stretch. They're fucking nipples and we literally stick them in the mouths of our infants. You know damn well that we're not talking about the differences between men and women but the way society and twitch threats people differently.
Even men who present as women on twitch have seen this. Finnster has had bans for shit nobody would care about if he weren't so feminine looking.
Yes, we're talking about the way society and twitch treats people differently... on the basis of physical sexual characteristics expressly regarding the topic of physical sexual characteristics. I've never used Twitch, but unless there's something I'm supposed to be reading inbetween the lines, I don't see the problem with banning female nipples. If society is going to have any standards on the rejection of nudity, I don't see why the line has to be drawn somewhere before nipples and no further.
What’s the difference between male and female nipples?
Female nipples produce milk, for one. Note, that doesn't mean I think they should be banned.
Males can also lactate if they have elevated levels of prolactin (which can be genetic). It’s fascinating stuff, some cis guys can allegedly get “sympathy lactation” after their partners give birth. There are also quite a few other species of mammals that have males lactating over females.

However, guys, if you do start spontaneously secreting fluid out of your nipples, I would suggest getting yourself to a doctor.
