If I can't beat 'em...

I'm going to put my 'gender' as male now. Going to 'live a man' but I am not going to change my clothes, not that I wear skirts much anyway. I will still style my hair and wear makeup because I will not be defined.

So I'm going to tell me DH and children tonight. I'm not sure if DH will accept that he is now gay.

Any one want to out their inner man and join me on my journey?

Hewee.

Biddlyboo · 05/09/2017 08:33

Backing that won't validate us as men though will it? Perhaps if we were to rename those shewee things the chicks use, then I can stand proudly at the urinals.

Raul Simmons. I've just experienced some disgusting bigotry from my 'penis bearer' wife. I bought a strap on, whispered 'come on babe, it'll be sexy' as I prodded it into his back, but nooooooo, he's not "into it"......what about ME? I'm getting blue balls over here!!

FlaviaAlbia · 05/09/2017 08:23

@Lurkedforever1 yes! Meet you at the pub for a proper discussion? I'll get the first round in.

Backingvocals · 05/09/2017 08:17

We should use the disabled ones. Equality.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 05/09/2017 08:17

colin - don't worry about biology. It's a very outdated scientific concept these days. I am a man. So I know these things. Just let me know if you have any more questions. I'm an expert on everything

Kr1stina · 05/09/2017 08:11

S'alright Colin. We'll just get all the other dogs to stop wagging. They are oppressing you with their biology

Grin

Now This identifying as a man is going to well, I was wondering if I can identity as 15 year old on the train to work today and get a child's fare ? What do you think ?

Biddlyboo · 05/09/2017 08:03

Now then lads, Guy back again.
Blokes bogs are a bit of an issue. My tackle has trouble with the urinals and as much as I don't mind a bit of piss on the floor, all down my trousers isn't really what I'm after. Can we campaign for more cubicles in he gents on the basis that urinals are discriminatory?

Grunt (can't say 'good morning', obvs). Sherman Marsh checking in for early shift. Am so very manly that even my new name has man in, to reiterate how awesomely manly I actually am. Bit pissed off atm though; have just spent twenty years and far more than I would really care to tally about a fiver on IPL to remove my luxuriant moustache. I'll have to get a girly eyebrow pencil and draw it back on but will obviously make it look entirely convincing unlike those caterpillar eyebrows that girls do. DH took quite well to being newly gay, he's a good bloke and has toddled off to his little job while today I'll probably ignore the children and go sit in the shed workshop.

ColinTheDachshund · 05/09/2017 08:01

bloody biology.

Backingvocals · 05/09/2017 07:58

Totally brilliant thread fellas

Christopher Hitchens was bang on when he said women can't be funny. Proof in this thread which is classic man bantz. Ledge

SophoclesTheFox · 05/09/2017 05:06

Who's a good boy, Colin? Eh, who's a good boy!

They might if they were actually women.Confuseder, I meant woof woof yapConfused

(I'm not sure how identifying as a dog is going to work out, the family think the cis-canine is cuter, he's sooo privileged Sad)

HollyBuckets · 05/09/2017 01:08

Brilliant thread!

I'm probably mostly a man already. I mean, I manage other men and tell them what to do. So I must be a man, because they wouldn't let a woman do that, would they?

ErrolTheDragon · 05/09/2017 00:36

Geoffrey - hm, how are you going to be presenting?

oneinfifty · 05/09/2017 00:25

I am now Geoffrey Dunstable

I wonder if any of you chaps can help me decide- should I tell my fa,ily and workplace that I am now a man?

On one hand, as a man I can now see that gender has no impact on pay/expectations etc at work or at home (this is all down to abilities and ambition). And also it is everyone else's job to notice me and look after my emotional needs really everyone should notice who I am.

On the other hand, it might be helpful for others to be told so that:

  1. They remind me of everything I need to do (or if it's dull just do it for me) and memorise where I have left things
  2. They are aware of how interesting and important I am so that they can pay be due attention
  3. The times when I leave work on time to collect my children from childcare can be given their true value as a contribution to the modern inclusive workplace and not just an excuse to slack off early
  4. My man-periods will be accepted as a medical issue (not a woman's issue as i am not a woman) so that there will be no VAT on the products I need to deal with them
  5. Family members will stop offering me 'useful' tips on how to prevent wrinkles/grey hair etc as I get older
DamsonGin · 05/09/2017 00:11

Right, call me Winston. Worried about one of the mums on the school run talking about doing some minor plumbing, might check if she's sure she knows what to do, more than happy to get it right first time for a cup of tea.

badbadhusky · 04/09/2017 23:54

Hust checking in because I want to reserve Galen Wilhelm off that random name generator. It was #4 on the list, but my fave & I won't be able spell Isaias Esquivel (#1) reliably.

Look, I'd change to a man if I could be bothered, but I don't see why I should compromise or change for anyone else. If I just plough on as I please, everyone else can fit around my needs. On the upside, I can lay off scrubbing the other XYs' skids out of the bogs in my house.

Jaxhog · 04/09/2017 23:48

Virgil Sandoval here. Any advice for a new man?

Kr1stina · 04/09/2017 23:40

Hello ladies, man here.

Can you please explain feminism and male privilege to me because I'm too lazy to Google . Dont you feminists want men like me on your side? In that case it's your job to educate me.

I'm off to watch the footie now and I look forward to reading your replies. Make sure you include links to relevant journals unless they are behind a pay wall, in which case please cut and paste for me.

errolthedragon · 04/09/2017 23:31

Glad to see you've not been tempted to change your NN, malcolm , because obviously the rights of women are very important to us men. More than the rights of mere cis men anyway.

Whoops... is that meant to be a secret?

Jaxhog · 04/09/2017 23:30

I love this thread!

IrenetheQuaint · 04/09/2017 23:30

I have a moustache and love nothing better than a railway map. Plus I've just downed three pints and haven't cleaned the bathroom for months. Now I can identity as a man rather than as an indolent slattern with crap social skills!
