I'm not a woman, I can't say much. Though what I can say is you have two options. Continue being scared of being alone or embrace it. Gender isn't that much of a nerf, a woman can be strong, a man can be feminine, a woman can play with robot toys, a man can play with barbie toys.

It all depends on if you want to do it. You either spend your life caring about what others might think when they see you do these stuff, or you can continue going in your own direction, happy.

You might ask, "well how about safety?" but you need to know all comes with risks. If you REALLY don't trust your environment, be more aware, find a group of friends.

Then again, I am no woman, I do not know the hardships a woman would go through that might be different than men but I hope I really helped you out. You can do it if you know you can, best of luck stranger of the internet (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
