I'm self-identifying as a toddler. Based on my 2.5 year old, they have it nailed. I'd get to walk or ride in a pushchair as I wish, grab cupcakes in the bakery and make someone buy them for me and hope Mummy doesn't scarf them all while I'm napping, get bought tasty snacks and made meals that cater to my whims, naps, soft play sessions....oh, and early nights.

I self-identify as being a doctor. Popping to the hospital now...

I self identify as a red geranium pot plant.

My local garden centre are staffed by hateful bigots because they say they don’t sell pots large enough for me to re-pot myself in to Angry

I’m self identifying as an astronaut. My launch is scheduled in a few months. I’ll wave at you from the ISS. NASA had better not try to deny me my rights or there’ll be hell to pay.

I’m thinking of identifying as a 70 year old so I can collect my pension.

Why can't we do this? It would cost business and the government a fuck of a lot of money. We could apply the same principles....and get them to see how absurd the whole shebang actually is. Because it wouldn't just be a "women's issue" anymore. It'd be economic Armageddon......

I'm self identifying as a vegan. I really feel I am one, but just for now I'm going to hang onto to my creamy lattes and cheese on toast. Just for now.

🦅 ooh yes 🦅
Eagle!

I tried to self identify as an eagle when I did hang gliding. I knew where my wing muscles should be. Must have been something very basic/atavistic.

Sadly though I just hung.

I am young. I am going to throw a complete fit if I'm not asked for ID the next time I buy wine. How dare they imply that I am not a real 20 year old.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 08/02/2018 21:23

I'm self identifying as the lady detective in Death in Paradise. Off to work and don't try and stop me.

traviata · 08/02/2018 21:28

I am self identifying as the MP for my local constituency. I have always felt like an MP but was forced by society to act in ways inconsistent with my true feelings. I shall be going into the constituency office tomorrow and will expect the previous incumbent to be stepping aside. If anyone tells me I am not an MP they will be committing violence against me and my rights.

Next week I expect I shall be self identifying as a member of the Cabinet. Anyone want to join me?

I now feel so sorry for that pilot played by Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me if You Can. He was just ahead of his time. Sad If only the self identifying movement had come along earlier, he could have avoided all that trouble by just explaining that he self identified as a doctor/lawyer/pilot. All would have been well. Sad

Springtrolls · 08/02/2018 21:30

I was going to self ID as a 14 year. I remember being 14 it was awesome and I thought I knew it all. Only this time I will actually know it all. It's that time just before you have to start being responsible and work towards your gcse's.

But then I thought nah, I want to ID as retired person. But then I remembered my pension is shit. So I want to be a loaded retired person.

Then I thought why would I want to be retired. If I was loaded I could be any age.
So I decided I want to be a 26-year-old. Why? Simply because where ever in the world I can drink and drive - not together btw before I get jumped on.

This was after I read about the dad of 7 kids who is now a 6 year old girl.

WitchIwasaWitch18 · 08/02/2018 21:35

I fucking love you lot!

I'm self identifying as a royal corgi. I don't care who you are I can bite your ankles and there's nothing you can do about it. So Ner.

Also I am self identifying as the OP in “discussion of the day” on mumsnet.
Yes, I am.

Genuine question.
So if I id'd as a 14 year old, or 26 year or 70. Would I have to age every year?
Or would I revert back to my chosen age forever?
But then if I self ID'd as a certain age how would this work legally?
What form would I need to fill out?

IhatePipArcher · 08/02/2018 21:41

I'm self-identifying as Amal Clooney but without all the boring legal work. I'm going to glide through airports wearing haute couture paid for by dear old George.

I identify as a large piece of rock on a really nice mountain overlooking the sea somewhere is Spain. I am millions of years old and therefore very wise, I have no body parts to go wrong and cause pain, I can’t be easily hurt and I have a lovely view and good weather.

I'm self-identifying as the queen, have the servants fetch my scones.

TadlowDogIncident · 08/02/2018 21:46

I'm self-identifying as a cat. I want to lie around and be looked after by devoted slaves.

Alternatively, I self-identify as a brilliant mathematician, and therefore obviously deserving of a professorship at Cambridge.

What an excellent idea to self-identify as a 70 year old in receipt of a state pension. Bit of paper work. Get a new ID card. Yell at anybody who tells you that you have 30 more years to work ahead of you. Those people are timetravelphobic.
