me when I would like to go outside by ableist people like you don't wear masks so I would die :(

I understand the sentiment and the urge to clap back at these kind of non comments, but remember to be(e) nice. Specially to yourself. It's not worth it to spend time and energy dealing with a troll comment.

I'm not a troll, it's just weird telling people to mess around with pronouns like this - pronouns should be simple, no idea why people are overcomplicating them 🤣 I understand it people have gender identity issues and don't like being referred to as either he/him or she/her, but they/them is and always has been a grammatically correct way to refer to anyone.

Their YT channel also has a rant about how much they hate people who are apolitical as well. It's comes off as more intolerant of other people's opinions, just coming from the left this time.

Woah where did they declare they are anti mask?

It's 2024, why would people still need to wear a mask? I've had three COVID booster jabs (on top of the original two in the vaccine) and flu jabs.

You should wear a mask anytime you have an illness that includes coughing or sneezing, whether it's COVID or not.

Exactly. I don't wear it all the time, but I'm one of the few people at my job that wears a mask (although it's mainly because I work around people that open mouth cough and sneeze into the air without covering it 🙃). I just try not to be in the office or around people when I'm sick, but I for sure still wear my mask regardless cause I just prefer not to be sick.

I haven't been sick tbh
