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?

This thread is making me Grin

Meanwhile, I've started asserting my authority by pissing on the floor of the work toilets. When you've got a 15 inch mangina, it is hard to aim properly.

mulva

I'm proper cackling at that one. In a manly way because I'm wiping my snot on my arm not my hanky.

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 05/09/2017 22:17

Ok, so I went to get a sack, back and crack tonight.

There was some confusion and I think it's rather oppressive that the male therapists are surprised to be presented with a mulva. It's so awful that they are not being trained properly.

I don't properly have back hair yet, but I don't think it's unreasonable for them to shave my legs as an alternative. You would think these people would be allies

I've just gone to the garage to get the suitcases because we're going away. Obviously, gay DH is waiting to pack, but I need to clear the entire garage out immediately,
especially as it's so late in the day and everyone's tired.

I have no intention of finishing it, of course. And I'm looking forward to leaving it in a bigger mess than it was to start with. And then forget to bring in the luggage.

AdoraBell · 05/09/2017 22:05

I find myself leaving the housework to fester because I've realised that DH will do it in the end. I also started the process of prepping a room to be painted, then largely left him to do it himself. And I am a Director of my own company.

So I'm claiming my spot on the man bench.

AdaColeman · 05/09/2017 22:03

Alright ChattyLion ? Glad to see you're getting the hang of this man stuff now, good on yer mate.

Of course, as well as getting all the credit for everyone else's work well done, it's equally true that if things do go tits up then naturally it's never your fault mate. How can it be, since you are a MAN, and there are always some women around to take the blame.
Win-win mate innit.

ditto at sir gaylord in his tweeds and facial tattoo Grin

Lurkedforever1 · 05/09/2017 21:38

Of course it will fit. We need more inclusive definitions of aristocracy. Which is why I shall debate Balmoral by asking the queen what her problem is, inviting her to take it outside, suggesting she is promiscuous and insulting her mother. As a man, and an upperclass one at that, that's how I solve shit innit, know what I mean yeah.

FlaviaAlbia · 05/09/2017 21:23

Ta Lurked, I do feel like that now you mention it.

Balmoral is a bit far for me, I'll let you fight the queen for that, but there's a national trust estate near me, I think I'll take to go with my title. Sir Gaylord Bravo has a ring to it. I'm not sure it'll fit with the face tattoo I got earlier in the thread but I'm probably loaded now anyway.

Lurkedforever1 · 05/09/2017 21:18

No need to bow flavia you only need to say you feel like a knight born in a commoners body and you too can be landed gentry.

I've already bagsied identifying as the owner of Balmoral, so find your own country estate. I shall tell the queen she is cis royalty if she raises objections.

This is one of my very best threads ever. I suppose I'll have to change my name to FatherofPearl now.

Lurkedforever1 · 05/09/2017 21:00

Nah, actual discrimination based on sex is a none issue. I'm far more concerned that I can't find tampax with the man products in the supermarket. That's far more oppressive.

However, I would like to be referred to as Sir Man now

FlaviaAlbia · 05/09/2017 20:52

But sisters brothers! We have an unjustice to fight. At the minute any of us newfound blokes can't inherit titles to take our rightful places in the peerage.

Now we're men, I think they should listen to us. I mean, biology is bigotry right?!

cafeaulaitpourvous · 05/09/2017 20:37

I have just told my DH I am a man... he did this Hmm
Then he muttered - well I want to be on top....

...as he put the ironing board up and started the ironing.

AdaColeman · 05/09/2017 20:35

Am I alone in hoping that the girlie who is planning to put the self identification Bill through Parliament is reading this?

Let's hope she understands what a huge service she is doing us blokes.
Cheers Love!!

Potato25 · 05/09/2017 20:22

Well I have always been a man because I love and will destroy you at video games; and I wear jackets, shirts, and waistcoats. I don't wear make-up, dresses, or unpractical shoes, and I have a science degree... I am also wearing all the man colours.

Gtg do some man stuff like fixing cars and only answering questions asked by a woman to her man partner instead.

ChattyLion · 05/09/2017 20:14

Oh and Ada .. you are so right! Why didn't I think of that?

Er, I mean. ahem! .
Ada. That's what I always meant. All along. Obviously.

Sure I will take the credit for the whole team's work. I mean, I'm leading from the front here! If those part-timers had any ideas they could only have heard them from me first. Credit where it's due mate!

ChattyLion · 05/09/2017 20:03

Kr1s that's a fucking travesty.

Kr1s · 05/09/2017 20:01

Thanks Johnny, well spotted.

i need to tell you about the horrific transphobic violence I encountered on the train today. The ticket collector refused to accept that I was a 15 yo boy and and therefore entitled to a child's ticket. He just laughed and said " nice try love " .

How can I get him sacked for this shocking display of bigotry and prejudice ?

ColinTheDachshund · 05/09/2017 19:52

Probably best you say DC now then instead of DD.

Dear Cricket, that is.
