First of all, I would like to start by saying that no one needs to endure abuse on Medium. Not when you can just disregard, mute or block the person abusing you.

So, if what I say or the questions I ask make you feel disrespected, it's not my intention. And I'm sure you'll either tell me or you'll disregard, mute or block me if you feel disrespected.

Do you feel the same way about someone who notices you in a non-sexual way? Let's say you have a particular tattoo, let's say of an Escher drawing on your forearm (I like Escher) and they say "I like that tattoo, that's cool!" "Where did you get it?"
