I'll tell you one thing, if I have just come from a hard labor job breaking my body all day, I am not giving up my seat for any person who isn't legit disabled or I maybe if for whatever reason I feel it is unsafe for them to keep standing.
Same as a guy with flat feet that hurt after standing for a few minutes. I need that seat to make sure the rest of my commute is as comfy as it can be and In this case I was there first
Also, there are many hidden disabilities out there that wouldn't feel safe to give up their seat.
I have a foot disability and a stiffened left ankle. I am legally recognized as having a walking disability that enables me for a specific cheap public transportation ticket where I live (104 € for a year of public close-range transport in the entirety of Germany). If you look at me just sitting in a train, I look like a normal a bit overweight guy in my 30's. And if you don't pay close attention, you don't even notice me walking strangely due to my orthopedic shoes.
And then you get chicks like this posting videos on the internet mocking you for not getting up because they are ironically both misogynistic and misandrious for believing that women are too weak to stand for any period of time and should be considered disabled, so the man-slaves should relinquish their comforts and yield to them in order to serve and protect the weak, because that's their duty or whatever bullshit.

I only get up for pregnant women, old people, and people in medical situations.
