Cannabis: it calms me down

Weed calms me down, but the anger that I feel regarding Tory's bullshit is extremely real.

Like, I haven't mentioned this, but given the pattern I very much took the statue of the boy with blue and pink lights during Dakta's hīkoi to the botanic gardens to be a comment regarding detransitioning.

So, yeah, we can look at the transphobia, but the point that's relevant is the implied threat of production and the implication that I'd be forced against my will to make Weeded Out.


In a legal sense, it was callous and wilful ignorance after the cease and desist letters.


So, I'm pissed off about the movie bullshit from a professional point of view, but as a trans activist, what pisses me off is the latent transphobia behind the rewrites and the way in which the Wellington elite wanted to 'fix' me with hormones.
