A woman felt judged when she went to a restaurant without a bra on.
Kaylah Ingemi doesn't wear bras due to her medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – as the straps can feel like they're digging into her fragile skin.
But unfortunately, she's sometimes shamed for ditching her undies.

When she was taken on a surprise seafood dinner by her boyfriend Ayoub Bezzaz, the romantic date didn't quite go to plan.
The couple, from Massachusetts in the US, first noticed people staring at them when their fresh oysters started arrived.
They initially brushed off the "rowdy" group of women who were staring – but decided to leave the restaurant after a fellow diner made a cruel comment.
Kaylar recalled: "I was just out to eat on my birthday with my boyfriend.
"It was a surprise dinner because we don't really go out to eat much.
"I saw a group of girls that were pretty rowdy, they looked pretty young like in their early twenties.
"They just kept looking over at us and we didn't really mention anything at first.
"I wasn't really sure what was so funny, and I thought it was me overthinking so I just ignored it…
"We just ignored them, we were just minding our own business.
"They got up and walked behind my boyfriend at the table and said something like 'Hey look, that's the one we were talking about' and then they cocked their heads over and looked at my chest.
"I was just in shock and kept thinking, do I look funny? What is it? What are they laughing about?
"They all started laughing and then walked off to the host booth.
"We determined that it was probably that I had no bra on and it was cold in there."
Instead of staying for dessert, the couple decided to leave the restaurant.
They tried not to let the incident ruin Kaylah's big day – but the birthday girl did end up feeling "discouraged".
She added: "We didn't mention it to any of the staff, we just asked for the bill and paid and left.
"We didn't order dessert, we just wanted to get out of there.
"I didn't really want it to ruin my night because it was my birthday. I just felt discouraged…
"People will always have opinions. It's more so just shocking and it's sad that there are people out there that are like that."
Since Kaylah shared her experiences online, many have sent her supportive comments.
She added: "I wasn't expecting people [online] to be so understanding. The responses were heartwarming.
"I'd say to any other women out there, do what makes you comfortable because no matter what people are going to have opinions on it.
"You shouldn't suppress your comfort and your happiness just for other people you're never going to see again in your life."
