I grew up in a little Canadian country town that was basically the wild west in a pine forest instead of a desert. Throwing and taking punches is something I literally grew up doing. One of my earliest childhood memories was getting beaten up in kindergarten by a group of boys twice my size.

I stand by the statement that every trans person needs to know how to protect themselves and be willing to do so, even at the risk of injury or legal consequences. BUT. Don't make the mistake of romanticizing it. There's no *winner* in a fist fight, okay? There's no Good outcome to fisticuffs.

The point of a fight isn't to be the winner, it isn't to kick the shit out of the other guy and walk away laughing. The point of a fight is to hold your own long enough to get away. That's it. Nobody wins a fistfight, there are only losers - especially a fistfight that gets broken up by the cops.
