    No one really gives a crap. People will stare at times, but you're probably used to that. Just carry on with your job.

    99.9% of the people really don't care.
    Ya'll think about yourselves too much.
    After driving a couple of years, you'll find that you've pretty much seen it all.
    No big deal

    Doesn’t happen too often tbh other than whenever i go into the male bathroom . I really only get outed by height/voice and my gender marker. Im mostly concerned with how my period with a trainer is going to be. And showering etc. like i made it halfway through school before anyone realized i was trans so.

    Not around here they don't.
    Truckers are the biggest bunch of 'I don't give a ####' people you'll ever find.
    You'll be just fine.......

    Probably very little.JMO. I see many trans folks in the industry now. Thirty years ago, that's a different story. The people who hate you and name-call have
    plenty of it for everyone else, too. I am an old white guy and have taken my share of abuse from such people. I am not the gender police. Just be who you are.

    Maybe im worried a bit too much. Should i mention it to my recruiter or someone? I dunno how to typically deal with these things. Im just concerned on what to do if my trainer gives me me problems since yeah i can tolerate #### but not if I’m repeatedly being disrespected by someone I have to see for weeks

    You're not the first trans on here to start a trucking career.
