Ok so, I'm a truck driver and have been one for 3 1/2 years, and for about 3 of those years I was male. I've been transitioning for close to 9 months now and beyond the constantly being called ma'am, lady, her, she I've just recently today experienced some new, a bit sexist I think. I got to where I'm suppose to deliver and walked into warehouse with my paper work, full makeup, cute hair, hoodie and jeans and fur boots over jeans. The man I handed my paper work looked straight at me and said "do you have a man with you?" I said in surprise "what!?" He said it again, so I said "um..no, do I need one?" He said oh well the bolt seals are hard to cut and he said it's ok just back up to the dock and he'll cut it for me. I was laughing in my head because I can cutt them just fine. But instead I said "thank you so much, and asked if I could use the bathroom. He said "it's right there, knock first then go in and lock the door behind you". O.O um..which kinda made me nervous if he meant som it would come in and rape me or something. But once again that made me laugh, so..I guess either he's blind or I'm doing better at passing. But it all felt so sexist to me and yet the old me woke up in my head and was like "use the guy voice and stand your ground". But I just said ok and did just that, knocking, peaking in to see if a guy was in there and then going in and locking the door behind me. Even though there was both a urinal and a stall. As in 2 people can use it and it's a unisex bathroom. Just blown away by this new experience, which I know seems trivial to everyone probably.
