  • Personally I would take inspiration from Tennessee’s laws on the subject, but just the part where you can have any darkness above the AS1 line. Have some comparable equivalent (top 2-3 inches) of all windows allow whatever darkness to get the sun out of your eyes, then the remainder of the windows should be tint free. It’s really annoying when rear windows are so tinted that you can’t even see the brake lights of the next car in line through the car ahead of you.




  • I don’t know about Europe but in the US, level 1 chargers don’t need to be “installed”, they can be plugged into a standard outlet. So you don’t necessarily need garage parking, the charger has a decent length cable of its own or (if you know what you are doing - there are safety warnings everywhere about this for good reason) an appropriately beefy extension cord can get out to your driveway. Most EVs can be configured to set off an alarm if the charger loses power or is disconnected while the car is locked.

    For apartment buildings and that type of thing, it can be problematic yes, but there are solutions like metered outlets for assigned parking spaces that property management companies could be pushed to adopt. Although personally I think public transportation is more ideal than everyone having their own cars for dense multifamily housing like that, though the reality is still a ways off from that being viable in a lot of places.









  • My mother (who is cis) was a landscaper for most of her career, and the fact that she was more jacked than anyone else in the family because of it was always a genuine point of pride. It didn’t stop her from looking good in a dress either (although occasions she felt like fully dressing up for were few and far between.)

    My point being, even if your muscles were to stay looking the way they are in this picture, I think that’s perfectly okay. Strength is absolutely not exclusive to any gender, and having muscle definition doesn’t make you less of a woman. But for the record, I do think your muscles will become less prominent with time. Give it five years. If you are less than a year into your transition now, that’s hardly any time at all (even though I am sure there are so many other ways where it is also, equally validly, feeling like a really long time!)


  • Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

    When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.





  • it’s a luxury good, like travel.

    It shouldn’t be.

    A lot of major health insurance providers have free “self-help” style mental healthcare options, which are better than nothing even if they’re kind of lame, but even one of the worst insurers I’ve been on (Kaiser Permanente) had decent mental health benefits. They like money and they know that subsidizing therapy is way cheaper than paying claims for a lot of the issues poor mental health can lead to
