The man is making a living. Don’t hate him for it. He has addictions and possible mental illness, again don’t hate him for it.
The sad part is, you don’t like it when people judge your abilities unfairly because you are trans, yet you judge this man unfairly because he has his own struggles.
Pot calling the kettle black?

listen I've had my own 2 year vacation to get off methadone too. I just find his lying about it to be a little gross. If I were to believe the lie (that he was unaware of the danger of benzos) then he is completely unqualified to talk psych. But obviously, he's not tellin the truth. Honesty'd work better, like what I just showed you. Instead of owning it he adds to the sum of addiction-shunning with his ashamed silly lying, which I think is a window into his character. It's not the end of the world (he's obviously still in PAWS and very very anxious and psychologically not whole), but it's a little discrediting. Whatever wisdom he might have to speak, he isn't living it yet and this matters, no?
And don't be so fragile about it, I'm being glib cuz he's a public figure. I am very polite to people's faces, and try to respect their struggles and stuff. I probably wouldn't bring it up whatsoever except to commisserate if he were in the room, cause I know it's a death struggle and every minute for him is very hard right now, AND I know what it's like to survive a death struggle or 3. Unlike "my detractors" who chase me around shouting
tranny!! with the aim of harming me.
The rest of my critique stands.
