That’s a good question! I’m pretty visibly transgender and if people have negative feelings towards that I’m worried about the physical damage they would cause me. I know that sounds hyper vigilant but it has happened to me and friends of mine before!

Ahh ok thank you that is definitely a valid concern. Good luck and hope you find something!

You’re gonna get a physically damaged regardless lol. Combat sports usually include that

Yeah I prefer it when it’s motivated by teaching and learning rather than hatred for my identity
