What to expect regarding transphobia/ bigotry - update!

Hey there! Nearly 2 years ago I made a post here asking what to expect as a trans woman in thos industry. I received a lot of helpful advice from people here and I would like to thank everybody for that.

I finished up my schooling a few months ago and landed a job in the nuclear industry.

I took a 2 year welding and fabrication course through a local community College and then completed a 15 week pipe welding course afterwards to skill up.

To anybody else who's queer and is looking to become a welder I would say go for it. Take your education seriously and practice, a lot. Don't take shit from anybody, but dont be an asshole either. Be humble and ask for help when you dont know something. When youre at work, be a welder first and not gay/trans/whatever you may be. Most people dont give a shit and if they do, fuck em. Try and go for a union shop or join a union if possible. You often have more protections.

I guess im lucky as I havent had any negative experiences in the workplace yet, one of my teachers was a bit of a prick but whatever.

Thanks again to everybody who replied to my last post ages ago, you gave me valuable insight into what I was getting into.
