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?

Well I already put the bins out, and am a dab hand with a screwdriver and wallpapering and at unblocking sinks, so I must be almost a man already.

I'll have to mug up on drinking six pints of plain in a session though, as I'm more strawberry daiquiri at the moment.

I quite fancy being called Isambard or Horatio....

I'm Wilfred Wood, which is topical as I've got some right now, what with that increased sex drive. I'm single so will probably visit a sex worker to get rid of it, which is my right as you all know.

Fuck me! I'm Romeo Beckham. Definietly Metrosexual, like my mum

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 04/09/2017 18:42

Right, listen up gentlemen.

We are now supposed to know manly things like how to unblock the lavvy and put a shelf up. For the older (now) men who were systematically oppressed in the 80s by being made to do home economics instead of woodwork, we have a steep learning curve. So.. we must brave the hardware aisle at B&Q to select an appropriate drill. And we are ^not allowed to ask the man with the orange apron* lest he will set himself higher on the pissing scale.

Your DH must be very appreciative and must also act as your attentive assistant, handing screwdrivers and top hats when required. And of course attending to the provision of cold beer and a free pass to watch the rugby after the arduous task assembling the IKEA Lack coffee table

I have a male vagina.
It works exactly like a penis.

NotAgainYoda · 04/09/2017 18:39

I have an oestrogen patch and hairs on my chin. I am a man. I remove the chin hairs so I'm a Metrosexual man.

Just cooking dinner hope now gay husband will thank me when he gets home.I have is as traditional left all the bits on the kitchen top and will leave plates at the side even though the dishwasher is near by.

BossyBitch · 04/09/2017 18:37

Datun, that's so ingeniusly outrageous that you must be trans management consultant. Maybe you just haven't realised it yet. Come on out of that closet!

orange, or (possibly worse, if you disregard the physical damage for the moment) laughed out of the room, i.e. not even taken seriously enough to constitute a threat worth beating up.

reallyorange · 04/09/2017 18:30

Filling in stuff for the council asks me if I'm transgender. I still am completely unclear on what the definition is yet there's no further information...

reallyorange · 04/09/2017 18:29

I've long thought about this, and I know this is lighthearted, but if we did attempt to do this in any seriousness/with any consistency, we would without a doubt get beaten up before too long.

Datun · 04/09/2017 18:27

BossyBitch

Just identify as the tribunal. Give yourself a pay rise and take yourself out for a beer to celebrate.

Thewolfsjustapuppy · 04/09/2017 18:27

I'm quite looking forward to the improved sex drive actually. When do you think this will happen?

BossyBitch · 04/09/2017 18:25

I'm not only in IT and hold two relevant degrees, I'm also management: my credentials are flawless!

I have recently realised, though, that I've always identified as a member of the board of directors. My employer is discriminating against me by refusing to reflect this in my compensation package. WIBU to take them to a tribunal because trans directors are directors?

Butterymuffin · 04/09/2017 18:25

Hey everybody! I'm now Greg. Pleased to be able to abandon the never ending task of tidying my house, as the domestic expectations of me as a man will be much more achievable.

Backingvocals · 04/09/2017 18:23

My name is Bernardo Weiner which is, of course, perfect. I am suddenly only attracted to women who look like porn stars because men are very visual you know.

ATurnipOfMyOwn · 04/09/2017 18:20

Datun You are so manly, I can see I have a lot to learn. I bet you picked it up first time, what with being a bloke and all that.

I am now Lemuel Rangel.

I have informed DH that he is now gay, he accepted this with very little argument. I have always worn the trousers TBH... I guess I was already a man. I just needed to formalise it. I don't need to change my wardrobe or style really... I was mistaken for a man (a boy, to be fair) in the supermarket last week. The short hair & refusal to wear girly anything probably contributes to the effect.

Oh bloody hell. If I cannot see the mess as as I am a man, who will tidy up!? I live with the world's messiest human being...

Datun · 04/09/2017 18:14

Mess turnip? Frying a steak requires something like a PhD in both nutrition and trigonometry. The fat side requires the careful use of a protractor, for ultimate fat side/burn correlation.

Also in depth chemistry knowledge in terms of optimum oil heat versus choking on fumes management.

Duh.

Thewolfsjustapuppy · 04/09/2017 18:12

I have secretly been a man for most of my life so it will come as no surprise to anyone in my family when I come out later. My DH will be delighted that he is now gay as he will anticipate a massive rise in my sex drive, instantly. He won't like the haircut but I imagine that he will get over it, especially if my sex drive does improve as a result.
I am already the boss so nothing needs to change there, though I may give myself a pairs for just being amazing at my job.
My man name is Hubert, and I may have to write a few books because, you know, the world needs to know how awesome I am.

JaneJeffer · 04/09/2017 18:10

I'm Eugene Flores so I will open an antiques shop with my now gay husband.

ATurnipOfMyOwn · 04/09/2017 17:58

Datun Don't forget to leave all utensils either piled up in the sink or on the work surface immediately above the dishwasher.

Or actually, as you're a man now, presumably you 'just don't see' the mess like birds do ..... or the dishwasher for that matter. As you were.

Ereshkigal · 04/09/2017 17:58

My name is Cornelius Wright. Which is uncanny.

Love it Grin

Birdchangedname · 04/09/2017 17:56

This is achingly funny.

newtlover · 04/09/2017 17:51

It's a miracle, Olenna !

Datun · 04/09/2017 17:50

I'm planning on frying a steak later. But only mine because the wims do theirs in a knockabout fashion that doesn't requiring gurning and using 8 spatulas.

Obviously I'll claim I've cooked dinner.
