I would suggest not using entire bodies.  

How about some pseduo universal gesture like a pair of open hands, etc?  A long line of feet?  The tops of many heads?  This nullifies most of the complaints.  No one is going to claim you need to put a glove on a hand, or that women's hands shouldn't be seen, etc.  Yet it still lends itself to the spirit nicely.

Try some of these on for size:
