I wear an N95 daily and I get a lot of harassment. The lightest is random people on the street swearing at me, and the worst so far was a guy stalking me home to tell me my mask contained 49 heavy metals and cornering me. I am quite afraid for my physical safety at this point especially as also queer and self defense in this shithole is basically illegal. People constantly ask snarky side remarks about why I wear a mask, and it’s so tiring but at least I wish it was only that and I didn’t need to fear for my safety

    dress like a punk if you can pull that off. buddy system when available.

    if you see someone starting to approach pantomime coughing so they think you’re sick or pull out your phone and take a fake call bunch of “hey mom, yeah uh huh yeah no right” kinda shit,

    if you’re comfortable after they come up to you take the mask off and cough on them
