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?

congratulations, guys, good to see that you are all expanding the bandwidth of what it means to be a man
I'm a man myself, one who has borne and breastfed 4 kids but in a very manly way, you can tell I'm a man because of the trousers I wear, I do sometimes notice other men checking me out.....nice for them to be challenged to explore their inner gay guy I always think.

Brilliant !!! GrinGrin

OlennasWimple · 04/09/2017 17:44

I'm Bernard Francis, by the way. I am following in the esteemed footsteps of Nursie from Blackadder Grin

Giuseppe O'Toole here. I'm a man today, but I don't bang on about it all the time - not like those bloody wimmin eh lads?

Like Rolf McCool (totally manly name by the way) I've been babysitting my ill daughter today, so will expect a massive amount of praise, and probably a blow job, when my now gay DH gets home to cook my dinner, because, y'know, I kept her alive whilst sticking my hands down my manly trackies casually scratching my man-fanny (and then not very subtly sniffing my hairy fingers.)

If he complains about now being gay (fucking nagging homophobe), I'll just roll my eyes and smirk in a manly way, then ignore him for the rest of the evening.

But what about the high rates of male suicide? And men who can't see their children when they separate from their wives? And why should women get to retire earlier - especially as they don't seem to be trying to work in the most dangerous industries like coal mining or oil drilling?

(I'm embracing my inner FWR de-railer now I am a man)

Better than blair willey

Blair willey with the bare Willy?

Datun · 04/09/2017 17:42

My name is Cornelius Wright. Which is uncanny.

I believe in equality, so I've just made myself a sandwich.

Obviously I sprinkled some lettuce on the floor and smeared butter on the inside of the sink.

Tomorrow I will complain that the bread's stale because I don't know what a bread bin is.

couchparsnip · 04/09/2017 17:38

Grin My random name is Goran Plutarch Maessen.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 04/09/2017 17:37

Right fellow men!
How do we get the name of this site changed to Mansnet?

NearlyFree17 · 04/09/2017 17:34

I'm in. From now on I shall be known as Malcolm. Can't wait for the pay rise and people listening to me in meetings.

Biddlyboo · 04/09/2017 17:30

I went on that name thing and it said my new man name is Guy. You can't get manlier than that. I'm manlier than all of you. I'm going to go ask DH what he's making for dinner.

Ewanwhosearmy · 04/09/2017 17:21

I take it the random name generator is American. Eduardo Jenkins?! What sort of a name is that?

CantStopNoTime · 04/09/2017 17:16

I'm totally a man 6 days a week now.
I'm going to be gender fluid and still be a woman on tuesdays because there's no bloody way I'm playing golf off the back tees

DJBaggySmalls · 04/09/2017 17:13

I was going to go out and cock and balls some stuff but I cant, what with the man flu that I'm not mentioning at all.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 04/09/2017 17:11

I'm a man.
I'm still going to known as Joanne cos that's totally a bloke's name.

This is brilliant- I'm going to be in charge of the remote control and sit watching TV holding on to my manly fanny.
If my DH complains, I'm going to call him a girl cos that's a proper man's insult

couchparsnip · 04/09/2017 17:06

I've been extremely manly today, moving furniture, gardening and doing my finances. DH is.cooking the dinner too... I am joining the mumsnet man's club and think I should be president because I have an over-inflated sense of my own worth

KickAssAngel · 04/09/2017 16:55

Oh, I can tell you what hipster bread is (insert long mansplain here, that I cba to actually type, because I'm too manly for that shit).

I like kickboxing and swearing. I'm about to go out and buy my gay DH a kitchen appliance for his birthday.

I actually spend most of my life just getting on with things, rather than thinking about my tits.

I'm now looking forward to my boss hearing what I say in meetings, rather than glossing over it then nodding vigorously when a man repeats what I just said.

And the 9% pay rise will come in handy.

MagdalenLaundry · 04/09/2017 16:50

I am going to identify as a trans woman
I realised last week I'm half way there when I was getting a fringe cut into my longish hair.
I understand I will have to call said fringe bangs. I am also on HRT
I need to work on the make up and heels and to find my name.
Porsche perhaps?

Lolly49 · 04/09/2017 16:45

I am now Jimmie Goodman,to be fair was always a goodman as I was a bloody woman.

DJBaggySmalls · 04/09/2017 16:38

I would tell you what hipster bread is but I cant.

I have man flu.

Ereshkigal · 04/09/2017 16:27

I am Nicolas Silva. You can call me Nicq as I am a non binary homme.

GrockleBocs · 04/09/2017 16:26

That thing suggested Marion Powell for me Confused

Anyway Justin Charge would work Assigned. Gets things off to a good start.

BamburyFuriou3 · 04/09/2017 16:25

I already have a beard incidentally Grin I always wanted to be brave and not epilate like that wonderful Sikh woman whose name escapes me.

BamburyFuriou3 · 04/09/2017 16:23

I am Albert.
As a SAHP does this mean I can now go to the SAHD group at the local children's centre? I've heard they get bacon butties! Besides, it's the only group still running - all the others have had their funding cut, or are for specific speech/foreign language groups.

BorisTrumpsHair · 04/09/2017 16:19

I was thinking about this last week.

I will be a man too. I am Sidney, or Sid. It will be so great. I will ask my gay male friends to go on dates. Some of them are really hot. It would be trans-phobic and pure trans-hate if they didn't want to date me because I have breasts and a vagina. I am a man!
