I effing love you, dear! I need to go to honeybarbara's school of personal protection.
I'm still proud to be a lesbian, just not always proud of the way I, or my sisters, act in certain situations.

It took me a long time to come to terms with dealing with the human aspect of safety, rather than the gender. There was some deep mourning of expectations to be had.
S.Andy - fuckin eh. I once grabbed a butch by the scruff and twisted her collar tight and rammed her into a wall for slapping my tits. She yelled "watch the shirt! I paid a lot of money for it!" my response was "and I paid a lot of money for my tits." I wanted to rip her lungs out. That wasn't over-reacting as far as I'm concerned. It took me a long time to understand I had the right to physically correct people who physically grabbed me without asking. Gender, nor gender presentation seems to make a difference in group space with how much I get grabbed if I'm wearing a low top or a tight skirt.
sulky fag who asked what your problem knew exactly what was wrong. Next time grab his balls and use a vice grip.
