this power imbalance is bad for everyone as well, if you meet up with someone via these (if are not male presenting), there is a concerningly high chance that you get sexually assaulted, I am terrified how common this seems to be among the women I've talked to

Male presenting? What does that mean?

I think they mean if you're a woman (trans or cis), it can be terrifying to meet with people. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Edit: Perhaps they are also talking about non-binary people, which is why they chose the words "not male presenting".

In addition to what the other posters said, even merely being a skinny twink (insufficiently male-presenting) is dangerous in some places

People think they are male when they see them.
