You guys seem smart
Did I fuck myself up? I had my iq tested above 130 in school but then I smoked weed all throughout my young adult life, starting at 15, and then took feminizing hormones at 17. A couple years later I now feel a lot less intelligent than I did back then. What do you think? How drastically could my iq have decreased since then? I took a shitty online test and it said between 133-145, but I don’t trust it.

I had the same concern you have, since I also used weed at a young age. The studies that have measured the impact of marijuana use during adolescence on iq seem to indicate that weed use doesn't lead to a decrease of iq in teens.
Here's a quote from the abstract of Jackson et al. "Impact of adolescent marijuana use on intelligence: Results from two longitudinal twin studies":
"Furthermore, marijuana-using twins failed to show significantly greater IQ decline relative to their abstinent siblings. Evidence from these two samples suggests that observed declines in measured IQ may not be a direct result of marijuana exposure but rather attributable to familial factors that underlie both marijuana initiation and low intellectual attainment."
Another study about this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28734078/

I don't know about hormones though. Intuitively, I don't think taking estrogen would affect intelligence, since it's just hormones.

If you learn and think every day you wont lose IQ points from marijuana, the issue is marijuana generally prevents this behavior

It's female hormones. I've been smoking weed for three decades and I'm extremely smart.

What do you think IQ measures? What does the number represent?

Garbage in, garbage out. Adding more layers of meta analysis doesn't fix your bad dataset.

Overuse of weed does in fact degenerate the brain, primarily the prefrontal cortex. However the amount of weed you'll need to smoke before seeing even a drop in five points is substantial, and the more likely answer is that the SSRIs and feminizing hormones' you took resulted in temporary or permanent brain damage/stagnation. Did weed lower your IQ? If consistent such as daily or every other day then yes, but only by one or two points, which by the way, 130 dropping to 128 is not the same severity as 145 dropping to 143, to which point the effects of weed are more acute as a higher intelligence is less stable during tests than a lower one. Did hormones fuck you up? Yes, depending on how many years you were on them this is the first place you should be looking to see if you turned into a bimbo dipshit.
