Yeah weed hasn't served me for a long time. I was a long time user and yes it gave me anxiety if I didn't have to stuff to. I don't get to laugh at stupid shit I see or think about but I can live with that.
Not to be rude, being transgender is not something people should have an opinion about or see it one way or another. Some people are born with a gender incongruence which leads to childhood and adult trauma if untreated. You wouldn't have an opinion on something like autism of deafness and gender icongruence is the same. I didn't make a decision other than get the treatment and live in my true gender which has been life saving. My brain doesn't have the right organs connected to it to deliver the right hormones but luckily medical science has finally caught up with how to treat it.
You're not being rude, and I agree with you, but probably didn't express myself the best.
Sweet! Thanks for understanding, I tried to explain it as best I could without being condescending. This is kind of a practised response of mine for allies. There's no need for people to have this kind of understanding of it to just treat me like every other human, but it's good for allies to know I think.
