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.
Miserable for the hearing impaired. I contract tutors and had one who reads lips--she had a wretched time.
I'm not hearing impaired but never realized how much lip reading I do until the masking started. Our young kids are going to lack this skill!
Wow that's a really good point. It never occurred to me how much I do that as well. Having to try to decipher what people are saying behind that mask has been exhausting. I feel like I can barely hear them unless they are shouting but the volume is fine I just cant read their lips anymore. We are going to have a generation of fucked up people in the coming years.
