Firstly, I'm sorry to those who have had bad experiences.
Personally, I get more harassment for being intersex and looking feminine. Luckily, I've never been physically assaulted (other than by my family), but I've been bullied, laughed at, shamed, etc. Sometimes I just let people call me "ma'am" and just go on with my day because I don't want to start a conversation about it and encounter more hateful people. Yes, I know I could educate others, but you know what, I have a fixed amount of energy each day and I often need to focus on myself.
