Still masking because spouse has health issues out the wazoo, including asthma. I go plenty of places for my newer job & have only gotten direct responses to it twice over the past 1.5 years. One was an old guy with no filter who understood my reasoning once I explained. The other was maybe in his 30s who caught me on a bad day so I kinda bit his head off, but I don't feel all that bad about doing so.

I know many will make comments behind my back, but I mentally do the same about them when I see the looks I get from them so it's all good. I'm doing what I need to for me and mine, and TFB if they don't like it because they're judgemental jerks who don't use their brains.
