Discrimination as a female in chess

Question for all competitive players, but especially for female players.

Since I was 8 years old, I have always loved competing in chess. However, as I have gotten a bit older (now 17) I have noticed how people treat me in the competitive world has dramatically changed. As a female chess player, I often face discriminatory and outright creepy situations when playing at tournaments, clubs, and online. There have been times where I have complained to arbitration about issues and have been flat out ignored or not taken seriously, male players do not respect me and do not think I am a serious player, and I have been explicitly harrased by male players on multiple occasions. I love chess and I love competing in it, but it's very hard for me as a female to find joy in competing when I know that I will have to deal with poor treatment at every tournament.

My question is how do I learn to ignore these issues and or overcome them so I can enjoy playing again?
