I always carry the "item" needed in my purse when out should I have to resort to use of that "item"..its your safety and your decision so you decide whatever you may feel..if your out in a skirt and sporting a beard you can expect to get laughed at or a least stared at..i am a short guy with big butt and small head so passing was never really a concern for me..bottom line is i never could hit a baseball..some here simply will never pass so i say just get over it and may be find a "hobby" you are good at..kinda harsh but it is what it is..i fully intend to stay netral on this topic..but thats how i feel about it
