OK, I'm a man now. Join me?

I'd say great idea ali as I'd been pondering how to man up my use of the highway, however after I read it, being a man I realised that I already had those ideas myself. When I was a woman I had a big car that was practical for my needs. Now I am a man it has evolved into a big car for intimidating other road users.

Bertie BigBollox here... shakes hands with all the other blokes whilst saying "alright fella' to each and everyone.

I have decided to embrace my true self... I now strutt with pride whilst walking down the street, crossing roads like a lemming - I don't even bother to look - I will just step out and the if motorists have to do an emergency stop that's their problem. If I get any grief I will walk infront of them as slowly as I can whilst shouting at the top of my voice that "Pedestrians have the right of way".

Whilst driving I will drive and change lanes as often as I want - mostly without indicating. I will shout and swear at other motorists and pedestrians if they dare to get in my way. If the other person is female I'll mansplain why she's automatilly wrong in my loudest most patronising voice. If I make her and/or her kids cry so much the better.

Whilst riding my bike I will shout at motorists who park within sniffing distance of a cycle lane. I won't bother to stop or explain in a civil manner I will just roar "get out of the way" as I speed past them.

For I am man and this is my -God- self given right.

Right I've had enough of dyeing my hair so from now on I'm going to be a silver fox. The chicks love that.

Hi Guys, Lucas Tran here (I kid you not ). I'm glad to have thrown off the shackles of AFAB just in time to trade my car in for a new one. I'm looking forward to saving a fortune on the deal with just with a bit of belching and muttering about axel differentials...

I know I should be demanding pictures now of tits and general whatnot from every female colleague on my phone. I just - I don't want them. I can't being myself to text my demands.

Well, you might be gay. Or rather queer, plain old gay is boring.

Or, you know, just demisexual, which is this weird thing where you want to get to know someone before you want to see them naked.

Yea, too right Lurked, as my mate Jonny said to me not long ago, "That's how I knew she really hated me, when she cleared off but left the kids behind with me."

ifnot and notoast honestly no need for all this deliberation. Just fuck off your kids without a backwards glance, it's really easy. And it is the manly thing to do anyway. All us proper men know that any father taking equal responsibility for his kids is a bit feeble and under the thumb etc.

Ifnot, you're not the only one mate.

Now I'm a man I'm wondering whether to pay no maintenance, see them when it's convenient and just post photos on Facebook so everyone can see I Love My Kid (TM). Job done.

Or, do I stay as single parent but lap up all the praise I'll get as hero dad? Although my housework standards have always been manly (rearrange slattern and you get trans-let), now I've got the perfect excuse, I'm a single dad, struggling along...

I must get off and shout a few tips to DS on his football practice.
This is one reason I'm actually a man. I already did that as a woman. I was clearly deluded.

Don't be daft, abacuss. NAMALT - in your case, as with many of us because you're now gay.

abacuss You are no less of a man. Try sending a few dick pics and see how it goes.

Guys, I'm having a problem.

I know I should be demanding pictures now of tits and general whatnot from every female colleague on my phone. I just - I don't want them. I can't being myself to text my demands.

Am I still a man? I feel so dysphoric right now.

I'm growing a handlebar moustache. Have been for some time actually.

Alright lads. Titus Manhandle, back again.
LurkedForever I can tell you Love Your Kids(TM)
I ave also realised that now I am a man I have been getting absolutely shafted vis-a-vis the amount of dosh I have been shelling out for the kid.
I mean, I have been paying for, well, everything!!-housing, shoes, sports clubs, food, xmas, holidays..the list goes on. The other parent lives the life of Riley somewhere else and barely manages to see the dc.
Well, that stops right now. I have been a total mug. What about me?I can't keep getting rinsed like this, it's not on.

I am growing a beard and have no boobs. This thread has helped me understand that I am infact a man-it all makes sense.

OMG - I have only got as far as the random name generator and it seems that the family name I've had for 40 years is actually my first name! Wow, I never knew I was actually a man, but it makes so much sense.

I feel totally comfortable with my manliness already. I have a man's watch, wear men's jeans, work in IT and don't own any make-up so I must easily be half way there. Wonder what (same gender) DP is making for dinner?

Off to read the rest of this enlightening thread and download the membership forms for the local golf club now...

Now I am a dad I thought I would share my wonderful parenting philosophy. I've decided to no longer feed/cloth/home my child, or indeed take any responsibility. I now have far more money and time for me. Nobody will mind once I explain that my ex is a twat. Instead I will get a photo that is years out of date to show people, and wistfully comment how I tried to maintain a relationship. This also helps impress the ladies. And society in general will view me as a wonderful human.

It took my DH a good ten minutes to work out he was not a lesbian, when I told him I was a man the other night.

my now gay dh has objected to being called a cis-man

Well, he has a point, being cis is just so very unfashionable. Have you suggested to him that he could also identify as straight woman?

Or perhaps a queer non-binary. There's lots of options!

Oneinfifty - interesting that you ask about sport.

One of my friends has recently identified as a transwoman and discovered that this has made a huge improvement in her sporting prowess. She's gone from being an average club runner to winning all the races she's entered and smashing a few records.

When she was a man she had to train very hard just to knock a few seconds off her PB. And now, with a small tick in a box on a form, she's transformed.

She assures me that this is because she now feels free to be her true self so I'm hoping for a similar improvement in my races this season.

Anyway, I'm off to have a shower. Gonna get a clean towel from the other set out of the airing cupboard (despite there already being a set out) and then leave it on the floor when I'm done. Or maybe on the bed. Will do my best to avoid the bath mat, getting the floor soaking, and obv won't wash down the bubbles or empty my hair out of the plug hole.

I can't bring myself to identify as a man, I really can't not even in jest ...

What do you mean, "in jest"? Literal violence!

I can't bring myself to identify as a man, I really can't not even in jest ... but oneinfifty - why stop at sports? Most men know everything about everything by virtue of having a dick.

Just popping in (in a manly, important way) to see if any of you chaps have had the same unexpected side-effect of your new manliness as I have? Despite never having played in a competitive sports team, since becoming a man I have found that I know all there is to know about all sports. DD did mention a few things I hadn't heard before about hockey but I'm sure these are not important and/or not true. As a caring man, I have been sharing my new wisdom at every opportunity- the girls in the office seem impressed! I've also realised that if I shout my advice at the TV really loudly when watching sport (regardless of what else is happening around me) the players can hear me so I'm helping others that way too.
