For me it's done the opposite. It's re-enforced my individuality.
I have an old medical issue that makes masks very troublesome to the point of panic. I've spent the last two years trying to explain this and been nothing but stonewalled at work, in the medical community etc. Nobody wants to find a solution, their medical theatre is more important to them. Even simpler solutions like allowing me to work remotely or letting me book an office when I'm there are rejected because they don't want to undermine the message.
In the end it showed me how easy it is to become marginalised and how all those people that say they care about inclusion don't really give a fuck about fixing edge cases as long as they are seen to be virtuous.
I was pretty socialist myself but now I've become totally individualist. When given the choice between what's best for me or for society I will always choose myself from now on. I've learned from my mistakes. F society.
I have a friend in a wheelchair who told me about this in the past but I never saw it. Companies promoting inclusion and installing fancy wheelchair ramps, yet not totally ignoring things like the accessway into the building that's full of steps. It's mostly virtue signalling. Being confronted with this myself really opened my eyes.
