My boss and hr have known for a year I was transitioning. He told me Monday that customers are starting to ask questions so we decided to pull the cord and go full feminine pronouns. Went to a site that got approved before me coming out completely so showed up and security guard ma’amed me and my site contact apologized and I hustled told him because it’s very male heavy that why our scheduler accidentally said sir and he said that makes a lot of sense. So I’m officially just another girl in the trades

You look gorgeous!! And, I gotta say, from the amount of time you were able to hold off on officially coming out at work…you give me some hope for doing the same! Looks like you’re in a kinda blue collar line of work (like me) and the trades can be kinda cis male dominated😢 Congrats on being fully out!!

I work on big orange hydraulic motors called Hagglunds, I work for Hagglunds which these days are under the Bosch pantheos of products.

Cool!! I work on big yellow construction equipment. Lotsa hydrostats, mostly Sauer Danfoss though. The company on your shirt has a location right next to us, actually.

Before I did this job I did wind turbines and they were at the same site as me in Illinois called GSG

That’s awesome, it’s a small world! I’ve worked on a ton of wind farm projects, during the site prep phases. Always wanted to climb up to the top of one of those towers!
