In the small town I live in, there IS an actual truck driver who is trans.She prefers to be a woman now,.
No one's bothered , except it was hard on the wife and kids at the beginning.
But acceptance of the fact by the town community helped.

There seems to be a lot of weird preoccupation there
I wonder if anyone's studied LBGTQ representation among gun owners vs whole pop?
