Then you can proceed to ignore them and/or walk away. Obviously. And yes, I live in Manhattan and before that downtown SF, so I'd wager I've been confronted by strangers far more often than the average person. One time I was in some sort of "soap opera" student project where I had to read some lines on tape. Another time a partner and I were confronted coming out of the Museum of Sex to be interviewed about our sex life. A video I was in at a park after Biden was announced the winner went semi-viral. One time at the corner of Polk x Post a man in a car tried to pick me up for sex work! I could go on.
