Not explicitly. In recent years I have noticed people being more careful if that makes any sense. I live in a very liberal area.

It is real for sure. I’m a cis male with what is generally considered a woman’s name. At work, it is crazy how differently people treat me when they only know me through chat or email vs in person or on the phone. It gets really interesting meeting some people for the first time after communicating only via text for a while. So much changes right at that moment.

Glad I am not allergic. I keep a small jar in the kitchen and it is easily the most interesting seasoning to experiment with.

Meanwhile, my sister claims to be severely allergic. It’s crazy given the number of items in her regular diet containing MSG if you read the label. Sadly, she is full of excuses like this she uses to rationalize an insanely high fat diet and is obese.
