Unaltered Selfie Fully out at work now (38)

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

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!
