Circumcision Cuts Through Us All.
The SKIN IN THE GAME campaign takes intactivism to the next level, giving intactivists new power to change the way Americans think about circumcision. But what exactly is intactivism? Think “intact” and “activism”—a concerted effort to keep baby boys intact. Skin in the Game strengthens intactivism by giving a face and voice to victims of male child genital cutting.

Part 4: Disability (neurodivergence)
This is where the issue touches me personally. I am autistic, and among other things that means I have sensitivities that other people don't. I feel food moving around inside me, I need more anaesthetic than dentists expect, and I have what's called "tactile defensiveness", where light touches to my skin are irritating and uncomfortable. And that includes clothing. All clothing, with the sole exception of hats.
The problem is mild (but never zero) when it's cool; in the winter, I prefer clothes to the cold. When it gets warmer and I start sweating, the discomfort gets very bad very quickly.
This means I can't stand exercising with clothes on. I know perfectly well what not exercising does to my life expectancy and general health, but the feeling is unbearable.
How bad could it be, you ask? Imagine everything you're wearing next to the skin is made of sewn-together burlap sacks, and you're trapped in a slow-cooker.

Part 3: Mental health
Guess what kind of mental illness has the highest death rate? No, it's not suicidal depression, it's eating disorders. Anorexia in particular is deadly.
It's usually not a great idea to blame mental illnesses on things in society or the media that we don't like. In most cases it's either wrong or over-simplistic. But eating disorders are the one big exception. Eating disorders are caused by having a negative body image (plus the usual predisposing factors), and negative body image is caused by the depiction of a few idealized body types in the media to the exclusion of all others.
If your own body is a bit saggy and pudgy, and no other body you get to see is even the least bit saggy or pudgy, you start to get the idea that you are a pathologically saggy and pudgy person.
Most people are pretty saggy and pudgy by the standards of the media. These days even supermodels' bodies are Photoshopped to within an inch of their life before they'll let us see them. Whether in sports or ads or movies, we get a very small and idealized selection of the range of human body sizes and shapes held up for us to admire.
And to a point, we can blame capitalism for that. Idealized bodies sell. It's how media companies make money.

Part 2: Race
Western modesty standards have served colonial racism ever since colonization was a thing, and they continue to do so.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but within my lifetime there were still Indigenous Australian communities where clothes were something you put on when you had to go into town.
In New Zealand, where I live, Māori people adopted European clothing by about the 1900s. Previously they had had a variety of garments for formal occasions and bad weather, but for day-to-day life in the summer women could get away with an apron the size of a handkerchief, while men could go completely naked as long as they were able to avoid getting aroused in public.
Adapting to changing conditions is part of Māori culture, and that included accommodating European sensibilities. In response to the requirement that women cover their breasts, they invented those now-iconic intricately woven bodice tops you see in kapa haka performances. But there were other consequences that haven't gone away.
