Even in the face of cancer, Weinstein chose to see the positive things in life. She wrote an essay in 2022 about battling cancer, falling in love with her husband, and discovering her non-binary identity. She closed the article by writing, “I have more love in my life and for myself than I could have ever imagined, and I see each day as a gift. There are still days when I can’t stop crying – it hurts or my thoughts are getting the better of me – but I’m learning to let those close to me help carry the burden.
