While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.

X3 highlights this.

Gloves.

The fact that magneto used his powers to groom her as a child doesn't help anyone in the story.

You’re not doing it on purpose but your comment does highlight the ease people dismiss the social experience of hidden disability.

  • Oh your that (weird) person always wearing gloves.

  • Why are you so sensitive about your gloves?, just take em off.

  • Someone tried to rip off her gloves the other day and they are in the hospital now.

Comments in this style are more common for teens but the sense of not belonging even if for something at first glance mundane lasts well into adulthood.

Additionally, gloves and long sleeves only solve incidental contact; she can't be intimate with someone, for example.

Latex body suits.. Go all in on the kinks at that point.
