May be because it is assumed if you are being troubled in this way, you must be a woman. Ignore.
Also know that there are no laws in our country to prevent men from s3xual abuse. So you have to help yourself. If you have friends, step out with them for a few days. Learn some self defence…it will give you confidence. If you can’t distance yourself from the environment you are in, you will have to find a way to confront the bullies, without compromising safety. Will take time. So short term, build your support circle first.
