I’m a female firefighter – guys ask if I’m on steroids but I guess they’ve never heard of hard work
A FEMALE firefighter is shutting down the haters who doubt her strength.
Being the minority in her field doesn’t mean she can’t match up to the men.
The firewoman, who goes by @nzwaterfairy, loves her career and is confident in her skills, despite the criticism she hears from others.
Often showing off her stamina and power in her TikTok videos, she prompted one man to ask if she was on steroids.
Her response? She demonstrated some of the workouts that give her her ripped figure.
In the video montage, she had her muscular legs on display as she jumped rope, rowed, and did push-ups and burpees.
She also performed weighted squats, pull ups, and bench presses.
Her days don’t stop there however, as she proved cardio – running on the treadmill and bicycling – are also part of her usual regimen.
“Nah, I just turn up. Every damn day,” she proclaimed proudly, while flexing in the mirror.
In the caption, she questioned those who look down on her: “Damn, y’all never heard of hard work, huh?”
She said there’s only one way to become as strong as she is.
“There are no secrets or ‘routine’… just hard work.”
Viewers applauded her dedication.
“Keep it up and leave the haters in the dust,” one person encouraged.
“Some people can’t appreciate the hard work because they don’t have the discipline, so instead they hate,” another noted.
And a third said the commentary was rooted in sexism: “So their first thought in seeing a strong woman is steroids… why can’t it just be time, work, and effort?”
