After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers ... so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving ... which is also a thing BTW.
Worked with a guy who could pick up a dime with one of the forks. About the only thing he could do with precision, but still impressive.
I'm not even mad, that's impressive!
Anime about trans men being under fire in competitive forklift operating behcause they have a "biological advantage" over AMABs despite the literal mechanisms of hrt.
He gets found out when, after an emergency where he uses a forklift to save a puppy, instead of embracing the puppy in a manly manner he tries to sneak away to keep his identity secret

I just recently found out they have forklift rodeos! there are videos of some on YouTube
