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

    Aggressively baa. 🐏

    Ooh, or say it’s a fetish thing. I’ve contemplated telling people I have the nunya virus nunya business! but most folks don’t confront me. More passive aggressive shit like dirty looks and things.

    Edit: I’ve also seen a couple masking performers wearing a gater over their n95s. That seems to be more socially acceptable. Of course now that ICE does it idk.
