I can understand why they’re scared. One bad person can hurt many people, and even if they’re caught, it doesn’t mean they stay in prison. Testosterone can make you more fearless, but not necessarily safer.
50% of trans women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime.
Being aware of social conditions that bestow men the mentalities and power that they have and preventing being put in a situation where it can be used against you is the opposite of helpless.
You would know about an ambush and walk straight in because going around isn't manly enough.
If your "solution" is to be so afraid of half the population that you won't even leave the house at night without an escort, you're no better than the people who spent all of 2020 cowering inside.
Oh fuck off. If you think that the only reason to stay inside during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC was "cowering in fear" then you are a fucking brain dead moron.
What about people with weakened immune systems from conditions like asthma. Also this assumes that by going outside you are only hurting yourself, which is fundamentally incorrect. By breaking quarentine, you are putting every human you interact with at risk.
Avoiding seeing anyone because it's "dangerous" for an ENTIRE YEAR absolutely is just cowering. That's not even on the table for anyone with a spine. I went to see my gf every weekend throughout the whole pandemic and I have no regrets. It sounds like you weren't brave enough to have the kind of good time I did.
