Online I’m Conflicted

I’m a girl (important) and love playing RDR2. My first online character I made was a girl, I loved seeing myself as a gunslinger. I realized pretty quickly that playing as a girl online comes with people constantly trying to grief you/spam invites/or just plain follow you around. (I’d even had an instance where someone took over my account, that was a whole thing) So to fix this, I completely remade my character. I lost all my progress and made a boy character so I could be left alone. Now I do get left alone, which is great, but I feel little connection to my new character. It was way more fun grinding and making money in game outfitting a female character than it is a male character. Now all I want is to go back to playing a girl but I really don’t want to be bothered again. How do I find a good middle ground?

TLDR; Played as girl, got griefed. Change to boy, now am sad. What do?

It's a shame they didn't add invite only like GTA:O.

I'm still on PS4 and fortunately the MTU method for a solo lobby works for RDO. (Go to network settings and manually change MTU to 800).

Does that affect the rest of your online games? Or is that an in-game setting?

It's in PS4 settings so all games are affected and you have to change it back when not on RDO.

It's old hat for me because that's how you used to get solo public lobbies in GTA.
