I tell them that I will wear one (out of respect) if they have a mental illness.

I had someone pull that crap on me the other day.
Found a sweet way to deal with it.
Turn to the person, square up, step in, get in their "personal space" and ask, loudly, "what? you have a problem with the way I look? You want me to hide my face?" and just keep leaning in until they turn and run.
You just gave me an idea.... pretend you're deaf.
I've been hella curious how the deaf are dealing with this stuff. Dated one years ago and their world was an interesting one to enter. Her ability to read lips was fucking impressive as hell. If you've ever seen the movie I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell that intro is pretty much spot on.
It's been horrid. Have a friend unable to go to college because no local schools would exempt her or anyone else of mask. She can't communicate at all with the hearing world. Where's the ADA now?
Yeah my ex had a notepad she used to communicate with the hearing public. It was already a pain the ass with her reading lips and writing a response.
