This is where I'm at too. I wear a Zimi N100 in all medical spaces now and I've stopped asking. Tired of pushback, refusal, and providers taking it personally. Also tired of doctors asking if I'm sick. No, I'm trying to prevent becoming sick since no one else around here seems to care about that.

100% all of this. We can criticize this very violent system without perpetuating ableism or pretending they're just "too stupid" to know what they're doing.
