I'm sorry but it's silly to suggest that someone who chooses to buy an item of clothing is magically having their freedom suppressed by it. That's not how any of this works.

If we get a hot summer this year I will most likely wear a rash shirt or burkini. New Zealand and Australia have the highest skin cancer rates in the world, because we live next to the hole in the ozone.

The hole opened early this year, it will be bigger than usual.

Yeah, and how many lmen wear burkibis on those beaches?

The burkini was invented in Australia to help people integrate into Australian culture. Interesting article here.

The male equivalent is the rash shirt and pants. All these things are becoming more common for people to wear because of melanoma.

If I choose to cover up for whatever reason, that's my choice and it isn't anyone else's business.

I don't even know where you're going with this.
