a friend of mine is a truck driver and today he was training a new hire, who he described as "an old redneck dude". he said it was going alright until the old dude said "you know about them transgender folks?"
... uh oh
"yeah I'm thinking if them transgender folks can get such nice beards with testosterone maybe i should see if i can get it too, maybe finally get a nice beard growing in here..."
everything turned out better than expected!
gender affirming care for everyone!
@tarajdactyl I was trying to hitch a ride the other day from a trucker and I was super nervous because I had a rainbow pride lanyard around my neck. The dude pulled up and said I could hop a board to get a ride to the end of the street and I took him up on it.
Because the trailer said Old Dominion I just assumed that he was some kind of christofash trash but was quite surprised when he complimented me on my beard. It's nice to have a man compliment another man on facial hair and I must have been blushing. 😅⚓🔱
@sleepylemur for future reference "old dominion" just means he's from northern Virginia 😁
(at least that company is based there. used to see a lot of those trucks when i lived near DC)
@tarajdactyl @sleepylemur These days, it just means he's a company employee.
Old Dominion (ODFL) is an enormous multinational freight company from Virginia, publicly listed on NASDAQ, part of the S&P 500, with 23k employees worldwide and ~$4B/yr global revenues.
