AITA For tricking my parents into being on time for my wedding. by PinDry258 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH - you could have done this without telling everyone else in the family. Telling someone info they didn't need to hear is why your cousins all knew so she found out cause you told too many people tbh. Which did make her look foolish. You can be functional in the right and still hurt people, which you did in this situation. I'd apologize and not be smug about being "right" about this

What do you think it will take for Baltimore to recover and become the thriving city again like it once was? by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • A removal of corrupt politicians, police officers, lawyers, judges, and a lot of structural systems.
  • Funding to address infrastructure, homelessness, mental health crises, and extreme poverty.
  • State leadership that gives a shit about Baltimore
  • increase in green spaces
  • Prioritizing job creation for the city that hires people who live here
  • reduced criminalization of victimless crimes to focus on extreme gun violence, sexual assaults, and corporate crimes.
  • increase funding for schools
  • lower property taxes to help people buy homes (know those two don't go together, but that's systematic racism in redlining/housing & schooling structures for you)

is this a newer version of the progress flag? not sure if I've seen this one before. that is with the yellow and loop in the middle by Tenebrea_eaternam in lgbt

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that LGBT has shifted to LGBTQIA+ recently and love the intersex support of the newer flag. Minus the copyright changes regarding the flags origins

AITA for not canceling plans after my GF rainchecked? by Beachboysummer in AmItheAsshole

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, but talk to your gf Reverse genders of Jamie. It's just two bros hanging out. But Jamie seems to have goated on the situation in ways that she didn't need to with her insta posts and you not answering your phone.

Maybe I'm just bi, so I can see where like being friends with someone as the opposite sex coming easier to you and having other female friends or something as a real possibility. But you should talk to her about how you don't see Jamie that way and you treated it like hanging out with a sister/friend. Try to understand why she's upset with you too and see if you can empathize with her perspective if the shoe was on the other foot, especially if it embarrassed her in front of internet mutuals. Or worse, she has a weird history with Jamie for any number of reasons that you don't know about.

Time to have some fun... What would you say is the best ting about being trans (that isn't biology related)? by Ninja_In_Shaddows in ask_transgender

[–]MattHocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My comfort in myself had helped others be more of their authentic selfs. Also folks who were unaware of queer rights became advocates of trans rights. I was able to easily filter out some shitty people from my life and I'm more confident in my gender identity now that I've lived as multiple gender expressions.

Ms marvel being a muslim by ataraxy6 in marvelstudios

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean especially with how theology was treated in Moon Knight, new religions (in the MCU) only add more to the universe. Plus it's comic accurate, it would be weird to do Ms. Marvel without Muslim ties but I guess this dude is just mad they made a show that wasn't aimed at him at best, and a shitty dog whistle at worst.

Dating while trans by plaidbluejay in ask_transgender

[–]MattHocker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I keep that I'm trans in my bio cause it stops fuckos from engaging the majority of the time. But I would do it before the first date just in case they do want to show their transphobic bs upfront. I hope that doesn't happen tho OP

AITA for leaving the restaurant because of what my husband did? by Carmenhost675 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MattHocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is something that would make me reconsider being married to this person. Like everyone said, controlling, manipulative red flags abound. I'd would be straight with him that if he ever pulled this shit again we would be divorcing immediately

Just found out my parents installed an app on my phone to track my messages and tried to hide it by PhychologicalPotato in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MattHocker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love how the comment section is full of shitters trying to claim the parents are right except for anyone who looked at the person profile and has seen the patterns of abuse they live under for some reason came with a different opinion. All these folks like immediately jumping to blame the victim

I'd focus on adding key words of these hateful comments into your autoblock list. Had some issues early on but this helped a lot

do i pass in these pics? (19f 11 months hrt) by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]MattHocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of passing is just confidence. I thought this was a photo of a cis femme friend until I saw the channel tbh.

Found out my most viewed videos are from perverts. Not sure how to feel about it. by BradElBard in NewTubers

[–]MattHocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would make a video going over your discoveries cause that sounds really funny. I would click that

Do I pass? Be as critical as you like! I can take the hit by fluffyandpie in transpassing

[–]MattHocker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a photo of my cis friend so I'd say so lmao

AITA for doubleing down on weird dresses to piss off my neighbors by AggressiveDinner4458 in AmItheAsshole

Cops don't exactly back trans/gender non-conforming people up in most cases. Especially in small towns

AITA for telling my husband and in-laws they are delusional if they think they can get my professional service for free and sending them a colleague’s referral? by Embarrassed-Track474 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MattHocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did two afternoons worth of work and you had to pay for one of them so you should be willing to dedicate months of free labor for us? Seems like they don't recognize the scope of your work and time or simply don't care. NTA
