It just depends upon how things sit for a given individual. On occasion I do present as Don, but it is always a specific situation. For example, when I’ve gone to take COVID vaccines, I present as Don because I didn’t want any confusion as to why my presentation doesn’t match my driver’s license. While I go to GP and rheumatologist appointments as DeeAnn, I need to set up an appointment with a dentist soon and I will present as Don. DeeAnn never leaves the house without makeup and that would just make a mess. It isn’t a burden for me to do this. However, I suspect that several days in a row would not be pleasant but I could deal with it.
