    This is so sexist. Why didn't they hire women? And wouldn't trans person's dress get caught on the girder?

      You're seeing a group of people actively being exploited to the point where two out of every five of them died before regulations were put in place and this is where your mind goes? Wow, just wow. Imagine if any of us had to work under those conditions today simply because we were expected to.
