    Hey good on you for quitting the weed! I smoked for about 20 years but about 10 years ago I had to face facts that it wasn’t doing me any favours. It’s great for some people but for me it became a big contributing factor for my anxiety disorder. Now I have no anxiety disorder and no weed and feel a lot better about myself.

    Sorry you have to deal with all the transphobia. I see it as a personal decision someone has the right to make for themselves. I guess I just don’t see why people have such strong opinions about other people being trans when it doesn’t effect them and has nothing to do with them anyway.

      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.

          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.
