So you girls are left fo fend for yourselves no mater what happens...

Not good.


Maby taking martial arts lessons might help?

Like Judo, karate, kung-fu etc.

You could defend yourselves, and anyone that hits a woman is a coward, you fighting back would make him back off and let you leave.

What happens in one thread says there. No feelings carried over from another thread.

Yes, self defense can and does help. I grew up a tiny boy in rural America - I had to learn how to be scrappy. I took some kick boxing as I transitioned. I don't know how much it would reduce the cases of DV among trans women, but I do think that more classes targeted at specific groups with in trans communities would be helpful.

Actually some friends were blogging and chatting about this very thing.

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner - but this topic is really hard for me to discuss sometimes.
