    We largely refer to machines as “she” as well. So putting nuts on it definitely counts as making it trans.

      Usually depends on the gender of the Latin word for it (ships are feminine because navis is)

      Which makes cars confusing because they’ve only been around since Latin hasn’t. Neo-Latin has a few different possible words, like currum, which is masculine, or vehiculum, which is neutral, or raeda, which is feminine. So it could go any of the possible ways

      That being said, I’m almost positive that every truck ever made has (lug)nuts from the factory
