masking in public?

On facebook and on youtube I keep getting messages from other maskers asking/telling me to go mask in public. Which seems like an odd request to keep coming up. I'm in the process of writing a longer post about why I mask in general, which will further explain why I feel this way.

But personally, I'd only consider masking while out if I were in a context with other maskers or in an environment that was explicitly a kinky/latex/queer space..

The idea of being outed causes me so much anxiety that I even avoid being near windows while masked. I do think that the Creafx masks look great and extremely realistic, but I also don't think they're realistic enough to actually pass in public. I'm also tall enough to be quickly suspected as a cross dresser given my height and build, so I've never entertained the thought of passing in public, and therefore has never been a goal of mine.

I'd really like it for someone to explain to me the desire to mask in public (with the other people in the area not being aware of what is going on). I get it could be thrilling, but the risk/reward ratio seems to be tipped heavily towards the "risk" end.
