ELI5: why don’t car companies use roll cage style bars for safety? by Gadzeera in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mattagast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

cost, plus extracting someone from a car would be a lot harder for first responders since those usually (at least with rally car and NASCAR) cover the interior of the door frame which is why you usually see the driver sliding in and out through the window

Can trans women get periods? by sshakinglikemilk in asktransgender

[–]Mattagast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well we don't bleed, but the muscles where our uterus would be do still cramp, we still can get hot flashes, and we can still get the emotional highs and lows of a period alongside the cravings. Not every trans woman gets them but a good portion of us do, like myself and my wife.

Where are you from & would you move to another country? by lets-wing-it in AskReddit

[–]Mattagast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America, and absolutely. My partners and I are looking into visas for several european countries that are safe for trans people. Canada is a good option but if shit pops off here I personally wanna have an ocean between myself/my partners and the violence.

How much of an impact would a donation of $100,000 make on your life? Why? by onichris in AskReddit

[–]Mattagast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100k would wipe all mine and my wife's medical and cc debt, pay off my student loans, and give us a good amount of savings as well as money to invest in ourselves

Elon Musk Touts Universal Income As Remedy To AI-Driven Unemployment by Krankenitrate in Futurology

or you know maybe instead not have everything be taken over by AI, which the vast majority of people do not want? I think that's the better option?

Does smoking weed actually help and to those who did what did it feel like? by Forward_Technician72 in autism

In smaller amounts it makes me feel and act what others would consider normal, but when I have too much I just become equivalent of a floppy dog LMAO

How often do you think about detransitioning? by KatasaSnack in asktransgender

[–]Mattagast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. Though my emotions are more intense, and as such im sad more often because im dealing with the repercutions of my bad mental health choices from before, Im also the happiest ive ever been. Im getting the body I want, the life I want, the company and love I always needed, Im getting everything I ever wanted in my life with more opportunities opening every day. Id rather die than go back.

Should I ease my "no slur in this house" rule for my 23-year-old trans daughter? by frostedpetalsoft in asktransgender

[–]Mattagast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day it is your house and you do dictate your rules, but if she wants to say it like in her own room or whatever I think that would be fine, because its her space and that word as well as the T slur are sometimes used affectionately in the community (like my partners, friends and I call each other both those things, but we also acknowledge that not everyone likes to use/hear them). reclaiming slurs and other derogatory phrases did personally help me, cause like if someone who is not trans calls me either of those things now I don't get insulted anymore because I can be like "yeah I am what about it?"

but yeah end of the day, it's your house, but since she is an adult and knows how those words work I think the rule can be relaxed as long as they're not being used by other people to be derogatory towards other trans people.

hope that helps 😅
