See the bears where I grew up are WAY less scary to me than a man. I'm a trans guy in a place where I don't pass as a man but unless I lean into full drag, I don't look like a straight woman, either, I just look queer and disabled. That makes me a target to a LOT of strange men I might be alone in the woods with.

Meanwhile, the bears in my area will lumber away if you bellow and wave a stick around-- or let you back away in peace, at the very least, because they don't want to approach anyone bellowing and waving a stick. And because I grew up in the woods, I was taught exactly how to be safe around bears. I have been near bears on a couple of occasions and been perfectly safe the entire time. I've also had a man try to get me alone where I felt like if I didn't get away NOW I might not get away.

And I love men, is the thing. I love being one, I love other men, my male friends are guys who I would LOVE to take a walk in the woods with. I've been out with men in situations where, if I was vulnerable, I trusted *those* men to keep me safe. But going to a bar with the lads, the thing they would protect me from? Isn't bears.

A strange man, where I don't know how he will view me, but I do know statistics? I'll take the bear.
