To hell with what we think, I think you know yourself well enough to make the decision yourself. I cannot imagine what your history and prior gender issue was like, so who's to say what's best.

I will add that one aspect of chronic marijuana use that is not understood by western science is how it can weaken your kidneys/adrenals and cause hormonal changes that may or may not be favorable. The common result is an unmotivated and sort of flat state that can lead to depression. Anxiety and sleep disturbances may also result from chronic use.

If you haven't already, maybe check in with a good Chinese doctor who knows pain management and herbal medicine. You might be able to offset some of the negative effects of marijuana use with herbs, but s/he may not go for that and/or you can't really have your cake and eat it too. You can't ingest strong substances for long period of time without affecting your body's balance. In the meantime, acupuncture may be a useful adjunct to your current treatment and post-op recovery.
