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?

Cross post! Let's hope we don't walk the same streets eh, assigned, we'd collide and then have to fight!

Elendon · 04/09/2017 14:51

I'm going to buy male knickers. And stuff sweets down them.

Meanwhile, I'm going to piss all over the floor and not give a damn.

Tamatoa · 04/09/2017 14:50

I'm pretty good at bragging about my achievements, so, think I'm going to make an awesome man! And, I am one of those people who can walk through a crowd without being barged....so, was I ever a woman at all?!

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 04/09/2017 14:46

Recently I took to charge walking without ever giving way to any hapless pedestrians in my path. The expressions have been rather fun to observe.

I'm going to stuff my now redundant tights down my duke and sit legs akimbo on the train. Think I may film it and upload to Youtube too

I'm putting myself down as male in the next census. (It's on my bucket list).

Looking forward to the census result as having 95% male in the UK.

So with you on this. My children will just shrug and say ok.

However, I once threatened to go the parents evening dressed as a Victorian Lady. They were appalled and the rooms were tidied instantly.

JessicaEccles · 04/09/2017 14:43

I am going to start sulking every time someone contradicts me. And stop apologising for anything and start saying 'well, that's YOUR fault'.
I am also going to be stunningly mediocre at my job, and get promoted.
It'll be great!

GameOldBirdz · 04/09/2017 14:35

I'm going to put my gender as 'male' from now on too.

I'm going to take my top half of clothes completely off at the slightest hint of sun and let my nipples, man boobs and beer belly hang out freely for the whole world to enjoy.

I'm going to start spreading my legs wide on public transport to accommodate my imaginary massive cock.

I'm going to start shouting "nice tits" out of van windows at any woman under the age of 30 or who shows the merest hint of skin above waist level. They love it really, it's a compliment.

And I'll start telling women to "cheer up" in the street without any fear of getting punched in the face.

Can't wait.

shivermytimbers · 04/09/2017 14:28

I'm happy in trousers or skirts and I like some diy and bake the odd cake. I don't want to get rid of my boobs and I def don't want a penis but sod it, I'm up for being a man. Especially (and in all honesty I would love to do this) I can join the freemasons with some of you other 'men' and then campaign from within to admit women Grin

busyboysmum · 04/09/2017 14:24

Yes... what would be the advantages for me? Can't think of anything other than better pay.

I certainly don't want to have to use the disgusting mens loos! Even my husband hates using them.

Ereshkigal · 04/09/2017 14:24

Yet Grin

YetAnotherSpartacus · 04/09/2017 14:20

I'd kind of be in ... but secretly I've always seen men as somewhat inferior. I'd feel like I was slumming it.

terrylene · 04/09/2017 14:18

Betrand you don't need to suffer - there are online websites that will give you the hormones to give you those man periods (you can get big oestrogen patches, but unfortunately not the progestogen, so you will find they are probably a bit erratic)

YokoReturns · 04/09/2017 14:18

errol wait, what... you mean all the men will let me into their club as I am?I need to acquire some male entitlement quick-smart. I'll be needing those first few XY cells I managed to reprogramme...

whoputthecatout · 04/09/2017 14:16

just think of all the mansplaining you'll be able to do OP.

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 04/09/2017 14:14

Yoko
That's so bigoted. And science has moved on. You are woefully out of date, I'm so embarrassed for you.

Yoko The number of cells in your body decreases year by year so you have time on your side Wink

terrylene · 04/09/2017 14:12

I am ahead of the curve here. Grin I was telling DH I was a man when I first knew him 30 something years ago................

Unfortunately I had babies and realised that my career was nothing better than the replaceable photocopier they treated me as. Then I realised I was always going to be a woman Sad

NotTheDuchessOfCambridge · 04/09/2017 14:12

I ride a motorbike and like action movies....what else do I need to join the man gang? My hair is long but I'll just put it in the same old bun I've been doing for years and rename it......a man bun!

BertrandRussell · 04/09/2017 14:08

I wish I still had periods. My man periods would have been awesome!

And I wold have kicked some serious butt when I was tanked up on those man period hormones.

ErrolTheDragon · 04/09/2017 14:05

Yoko - oh dear, you're not one of those people hung up on biology are you?Hmm look, you just need to assert your manhood, your sense of entitlement will surely follow.

YokoReturns · 04/09/2017 13:55

I am in the process of changing every cell in my body from xx to xy. It's gonna be tough, there are 10 trillion of the fuckers.

ErrolTheDragon · 04/09/2017 13:52

I write scientific software and hate housework, so I must qualify. I've got long hair but so do some of my 'assigned as male at birth' colleagues.

For the first time ever, when I registered for the bbc recently I put gender as 'prefer not to say' .... my 'gender' is completely and absolutely irrelevant. I might have said female if they'd asked for my sex although again, it would have been irrelevant in that context.
