Anyone else been an innocent victim of mask politics?

I had someone rudely confront me about not wearing a mask in Walmart. I am in no way required to show you my inhaler or the handicapped placard on my truck. Assumptions

It is happening to women more than to men. Women, including multi-handicapped ones like me, are expected to be masked up more than men are.
I wear a modified mask. I couldn't wear anything on my face until I got some asthma inhalers and took symbicort for several months. Now I have two doctors' notes explaining why I cannot wear a standard mask, but it would not be good enough if I wanted to get a vaccine, a covid test, or any form of emergency medical treatment.

I work behind a barrier and keep social distance. Yet some people have still criticized my mask for not being good enough.
Mask politics are very ugly and they are only getting worse.

@purplepen yes I believe that too, it’s men that are focusing on women. I don’t they’d do the same to a man their age or they know they would get their lights punched out.
