No mask mandate!
 

I believe it's a personal choice as to whether you wear a mask or not. NO ONE should be forced to wear one. And the shaming of others who don't wear one is getting out of hand. People need to come together in these times not against each other. Please do not pass any laws requiring anyone to wear one. I will not wear one because I was physically abused and my abuser choked me and tried to smother me with a pillow and when wearing a mask I feel those same feelings. I do get dirty looks from people when I am in a store without a mask, but no one really understands my reasoning, so I please again ask you to let people make their own decisions as to if they wear one and stop spreading this shaming if people choose not to wear one.
