Profile For Shannon M.

Thanks for the welcome Bill... I've been trucking for 30 years now and just trying to get through life ..... Happy and healthy just like every one else. It's nice to see a lot of folks are starting to realize that not all trans women are crack smoking hookers .... Lmao. Just ordinary people that had a medical issue to deal with. Again thanks for the kind comments. Keep your stick on the ice and the rubber side down

Welcome aboard. I want to say I'm glad to see you so open about being trans in an industry that doesn't look too kindly on people who are "different." Even in general society just being a transperson is enough to get you hurt or even killed, and drivers don't have the most tolerant reputation. It's a big part of why I've made it a point over the course of my career to keep my own status as a transman as much to myself as possible. It's hard enough to stay safe in this business without arousing the ire of some jackass who has to prove his manhood by beating the crap out of a total stranger.

(Oh, um, surprise everybody!)

On the flip side, I also think it's important to show other transpeople that yes, you can be trans and be a trucker, and be successful at it. If you want it, go for it.

thanks for the welcome and may you and your loved ones have a safe and happy new year
