This is a good question and like the others, talk to who you want. You know who you are and what you are about. If itās the person messaging making assumptions, refer them to your profile. I do. I make it clear on mine where Iām at and what Iām a pit. If itās others judging you for communicating with a D, fuck āem. Iāve felt compelled to explain myself and who I associate or talk to in the past. Or how I behave.... For me, itās a little different scenario as Iām collared so either Iām cheating, making my Sir look bad, being a brat or whatever. *shrug*. Thatās on the judger not me. My Sir knows and trusts me and I follow our rules. Iāve made it clear what Iām about on my profile, donāt like it...there is the door.
I will also say that I, personally, am a little more cautious on how I interact with a taken Dom or sub versus an unattached one. I donāt want to inadvertently cause issues there either.
However, both of these scenarios at times limits my conversational pool. There are some Doms Iād love to get to know more, pick their brains, just chat with but āsocietal pressuresā seem to limit that option on both ends of the /.
