One Tranny and a Truckload of Tools

 Someone gave this tranny a chance.


Even though people would talk, he hired me as a carpenter. I'm thankful for this job and especially grateful for the opportunity to prove myself in Savannah. Hopefully more work will come from of it, ideally in a cabinet shop.

This is very physically demanding work and I can't think of a place on my body that doesn't hurt. I work with another carpenter and the home owner - the nice guy that hired me.

Sam is a big, strong Teddy Bear with mad, badass carpentry skills. A Teddy Bear that burps with passion and talks some nasty trash yet still looks good doing it. I think he enjoys working with me a lot. I know I'm having fun! The whole project has been fun so far but my body is rebelling. The sore muscles aren't too bad but the daily bumps and scrapes along with the bruises are not making me very bikini-happy.

We're remodling a pretty two story house in downtown Savannah. So far, they've gutted the downstairs and added a porch and two beautiful decks. When I started working with them, the porch was just in framing but now we're close to having it finished. I took pictures of the gutted interior, thinking this is where they'd first have me working. Didn't take a single picture of the porch and still haven't. Ha! I'm too busy and too tired to pick up the camera.

I get along great with everyone despite the usual jokes and comments overheard. Cisgender people have to deal with their own emotions about trans people and that's the first way so many of them do it. It may be the only way they can start a dialogue to eventually begin to have some empathy and understanding. Or not! I know that to some, I am a freak and a ripe target for humiliation. I'm a nice freak, though.


I owe it to myself to finish writing about my last project, put out some more tips on technique, think about the number of toolboxes versus trannies and try to keep up with cyberlife.

But finally, Aunt May's skills are payin' some bills.
I am a very happy girl, tired and sore but very happy.
