Shall we all self id as men?

If all the craziness continues, why don’t we all self ID as men? We don’t have to DO anything. We can dress how we want, be brave and beautiful, join the Masons (whoopee) and this would expose the madness for what it is...

So will you be men all week or just on Fridays?

I've been wearing flat shoes, no make up and comfortable clothes for years, so it's a natural logical conclusion that I'm a man.

I'm looking forward to being moody or angry and not being dismissed as being hormonal. Well, not being dismissed at all, because I Am of The Important Type.

I'm looking forward to the self delusion of importance too.

In accordance with My Rights as a man therefore somebody who Can't Be Wrong, I'm going to be Martin weekdays 9-5 for work and myself Marie evenings and weekend for the lols. Anybody who says I'm not an actual man on those weekdays or who forgets my pronouns, or who evening-names me will be committing actual violence against me and will be dealt with severely by the girls in HR.

You all seem to miss the point that the rules on self ID are sex dependent. A female person cannot self ID as Male without surgery ( in most cases) , testosterone and full change of physical appearance, and the approval of men.

I’m doubled over with period pains. I sooo want to be a man right now. I’m in! I’m going to spend all my spare time rowing 🚣‍♀️ which might take some doing as the closest mass of water I live near is a stream.

If say I was to walk round with no top on, on a hot day in my local park, would I be done for indecent exposure for getting my tits out? Because men are allowed to in public so if they were to arrest me would that not be a hate crime if I said I was a man because no other proof is required and they must not discriminate against me in comparison to other men.

Otherwise they'd be admitting that my female body was exactly that and chosen gender rendered meaningless.

@nepeta

Are there still any posh men's clubs? Now they will be open for us.
Nah, the masons say that transwomen can keep their membership, but transmen can't join...

Also the primogeniture laws were ringfenced, transmen can't inherit their brother's titles.

Some more equal than others, innit.

Hilarious.
They're desperate to take our privileges away and won't like it one bit if we talk of getting new privileges.

compulsivesnacker · 29/07/2020 01:24

Yes. It’s Man Friday. Been done a lot. If you don’t own a lime green mankini, you will be but a pale comparison.
New round here, then? Grin

BruceAndNosh · 29/07/2020 01:23

I'm going to be gender fluid. As a bloke I will have the God given right to disappear to the Golf Club all weekend but once I'm there, I'll play from the forward women's tees.

BruceAndNosh · 29/07/2020 01:21

Once theatres reopen I'm definitely a man so I don't have to queue for the single loo with twenty women and have no time for a gin and tonic in the interval.

snitzelvoncrumb · 29/07/2020 01:12

I think we all should. I think we need to use all the men's single sex spaces, let them learn to queue and feel uncomfortable with us and our kids. If we did that you can bet their would be a stop to allowing people to take over our spaces.

Ah too slow!

Time, check out the amazon reviews on "BIC for her" - well worth a google. I'm sure it will reassure you of your manly identity.

backseatcookers · 29/07/2020 01:07

@Time40

This is great idea. I'll identify as a man.

What does this from a pp mean, though?: I think I need to know, before I start re-identifying

We can use the black Bic pens

From this:

Bic really tried to tell us we must want pink pens Grin

Pam that was the fabulous Man Friday chaps.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 29/07/2020 00:26

I'm a total Silver fox and I love coffee, So I'm living my life as George Clooney,not just some average ordinary man Smile

backseatcookers · 29/07/2020 00:25

I've shared this quote before but... oh to have the confidence of a mediocre man.

So yes, I shall self ID and feel confident as fuck no matter what my actual abilities / knowledge / kindness are.

backseatcookers · 29/07/2020 00:23

@Goawayquickly

I’m in, I’d get an inch off my hair for a tenner rather than £50.
This is SO true!

Hair dye is cheaper
We won't need hair dye as we'll all be sexy silver foxes!

Shows how times have changed here. I suggested this a year or so ago and got deleted and a warning.
