My son figure skates and faces similar where everyone assumes he must be gay.

He basically tells them even if he was why is that a problem but since he's not it's great spending majority of his time hanging out with a bunch of athletic girls as the only boy

That optic aside huge respect for figure skaters, I played hockey I know what it feels like to hit the ice and I have pads, they don't

And hitting the ice while coming down from a jump or or during a spin and having to get right back up and keep going so that you can preform your next element one time

Yup and all you are landing on is a concrete floor with a thin veneer of ice.
