True. I’m not trans, I feel ambivalent about my gender but I certainly don’t think I’d recoil in horror. Probably just say no thanks. I don’t take anything that isn’t prescribed for me or won’t actively interfere with the cocktail of meds I need to take for a chronic illness.
I’m a pretty laid-back person, but I’d likely recoil. It’s the idea of someone threatening me with a pill at a pub that might be kinda triggering. Nearly any other reasonable approach in any other situation, I’d be willing to have a conversation and consider the options.
No one was threatened though. It was a group of friends and I presume the person with the tablets told them what it was and offered them to try it. For someone who says they’re laid back you used quite an emotive word (threatened) to misconstrue the described situation.
You take that back! I’m the most laid back person ever!
But yup, you’re probably right. A) I definitely chose the wrong word with “threatened” and should have been more deliberate in my choice with something like “tried to prove a point to me by offering me prescription drugs” and B) For the life of me, I don’t remember typing “I’m a pretty laid-back person,” I meant to say “I’m often told I’m a pretty laid-back person” but must have slipped my mind while I was getting dressed to go to the park. (Joke’s on you, VaultBoyNewVegas, I was Pooh Bearing it when I wrote my comment!)
Anyway, short reply long: I read your comment and was like, “what’s this person talking about? I know I’m not laid back.” You’re right and I mistyped. I’m often told I’m a pretty laid back person, but I don’t agree with it one bit. I’ve got too many suicide attempts in my past and too many mind-altering prescriptions for me to label myself as “laid-back.” Sorry for the confusion and semi-sorry for making you read this long-ass comment, if you made it this far.
