Yes, though not because I'm ashamed of who I am. The stigma was still strong, despite how liberal Wellington supposedly is, and that is what prompted my extreme tactics. - To be blunt: I was there on Saturday, then Tim heard my name wrong, and that’s probably why I left instead of hanging around to do drugs with the cool kids. Honestly, I was surprised that Chloe didn't throw me out or anything, so I wasn't that keen to push my luck. I’ve spent several years defending myself; I more or less tune out people who can’t get my name or pronouns right... which isn’t necessarily healthy, but is super-effective as activism. - I don’t mind my beard temporarily, but I’m quite keen to shave it atm. Hopefully tomorrow, but definitely when my trust money arrives. I should have kept more weed to deal, but yeah, I’m yet to trust anyone else. My buddies said to keep that circle very small.
