One one side you said

  changing societal norms

but at the same time you said

  one cannot change about themselves.

Strong contradiction. How does society change if people don't? Get them while they are young?

its more like 'dont get them while they are young'. when society teaches children from an early age that public nudity is shameful, they are going to grow up having an aversion to it. i doubt this aversion is innate, its taught by society. on the other hand, preferring the feel of nakedness is going to be an innate preference i believe.

I could have seen this is where this was going.

You have zero clue on how the systems we have today originated. Yet you want to hypothesize on what a made up world would be like if we didn't teach certain things.

Answer the first question: Are you suggesting society change while arguing at the same time a person cannot change?
