I'm a woman who feels less safe in public the more I lose. Has anyone experienced this?

I know that no matter what size, women tend to be more situationally aware in public, it's just habit. I do always try to be safe and aware of my surroundings, and I know bad things can happen to women of all sizes but I at least always had it in my head like, at least no one is going to be able to throw my fat ass into the back of a van and it was a small comfort. Anyway, so the more I lose the more vulnerable I feel, I guess? I got catcalled recently for the first time in years and I guess I'm so used to being invisible it is making me really nervous. Has anyone had these types of feelings? I feel kind of silly but idk...

Edit: I feel better knowing it isn't just me, but it's so upsetting that so many of you have had these types of experiences. Thank you for all your support and ideas.
