I hope now that you've seen my Dakumentary, you might have realised that the guys are really decent people, and that the cannabis whānau really does take care of our people. I sympathise with your losses, but I wasn't intending to make light of it. That Frank Film really stuck in my craw, though. That felt like a sensationalistic piece that made a death into a rallying cry against drugs. - As for me and my trans identity, I'm honestly appalled at those who ascribed those things to the Daktory gang and conveniently ignored all those signs that I recently collated which showed I was always androgynous and feminine. - Either way, I've changed my name, and I'm no longer Michael Riddell, so that confusion is unlikely to happen again. Does that clear everything up?
