Lets propose that you have a child, and in your wisdom, decide that letting your child roam on the streets is low risk and thus ok.

Do you then proclaim to everyone that they must let their children roam alone on the streets as the real risk is low?

What is important is people have a choice to act on their perceived risks. In your example, the ability to wear clothes to hide their gender is their choice, it is not imposed on them.

In this case, they do not have a choice that is sufficiently suitable.
