Victims of female-perpetrated transit misconduct face unique psychological hurdles:

Most legal definitions of sexual assault are gender-neutral, but enforcement is not.

Moreover, many jurisdictions require evidence of force or threat—non-consensual touching in a crush of bodies is easily dismissed as accidental.
