I'm also self-identifying as a fully paid-up member of my local David Lloyd gym, and if they refuse me access to their pool I'm going to threaten to sue them under the Equality Act.

I self identify as French. I wasn't born in France and I can't speak French (don't plan to learn either) but that doesn't make me any less French than any other French person. I've 'felt' I should be French since I was as young as I can remember.

No one will dare claim I'm not a 'real' French person because I love baguettes, striped Breton jumpers and Carrefour. I plan to embrace my Frenchness by sitting at pavement cafes in a chic mac with red lipstick smoking a galloise and drinking inky black coffee.

I'm self identifying as a gender fluid golden eagle so I can fly on high and judge cis women.

I identify as a member of the Royal family, I wonder if I rock up outside the Queens private apartments at Buckingham Palace they'll let me in? Nope, thought not!

I self identify as Gillian Michaels. I can plank for hours and my hair is amazing. If you say I'm a chubby middle aged woman you are mis-physiqueing me and that is literal violence.

oh yes, all of these, Jillian Michaels, I am her. I am. I am also Spanish. Always wanted to be and now I am. I'm a Spanish Jillian Michaels from the future.

I'm self identifying as a white Rachel Dolezal. A rich sane one.

Charismam · 08/02/2018 21:55

Grin lol at I love carrefour! {tears / lagrimes rolling down my Spanish Face

CreamCol0uredP0nies · 08/02/2018 21:55

I self identify as my dog. I spend the day loafing about from sofa to underfloor heating to lying next to the big radiator in the hall.
Out for a mooch round the garden and some random barking and then a walk in the fields with my best friend who's a rather rotund chocolate lab which makes me feel much better about my own waistline.
Food prepared by someone else and delivered at the same time each day.
Everyone's always delighted to see me. Evenings are spent being loved and adored. And repeat.

Springtrolls · 08/02/2018 21:56

decided i id as the prime minister.
Why not? seems like a good job to have. Don't need previous experience. Makeup stuff as you go along. It's my tailor-made job. long holidays. Travel the globe. Diplomatic immunity. can claim food back. claim for the London pad whilst I have another pad in the country. cheap booze. Drink on the job.

I self-identity as a physicist. I self-identity as such to my dad, who is an actual physicist (a cis-physicist, if you will) and he mocked me. Even though I have no physics qualifications, I am a physicist and denying that is against my human rights.

WhoWants2Know · 08/02/2018 21:59

The time travel idea has something going for it.

I self identify as a wealthy American prohibition era with hats and finger waves and all the appropriate slang phrases.

It's hurtful when people assume my era and discuss alcohol outside of the speakeasy and use mobile phones in my presence.

Surfandterf · 08/02/2018 21:59

Amoregentlemanlikemanner that's appropriation and so offensive! me self-identifying as you is completely and 100000 times different to you identifying as me, I've actually got the brain of a queen.

WhoWants2Know · 08/02/2018 22:00

Forgot the word "dilettante"

NeverTwerkNaked · 08/02/2018 22:00

Grin @ cis-physicist!

I’m self identifying as a hibernating animal. Wake me up when winter’s over.

WickedGoodDoge · 08/02/2018 22:01

This is me right now. Swear to God it’s really me.

I am self identifying as very good looking
Charismam · 08/02/2018 22:03

cis-physicist! Wine

theftbyfinding · 08/02/2018 22:07

That is one gorgeous wee dog! I self identify as that dog forthwith.

Lovelyusername · 08/02/2018 22:08

I self identify as

(Well actually I cannot imagine self identifying as anything then screaming and crying as I am not treated as such)

A amazing author. I want a book deal three figures NOW

Bettercallsaul1 · 08/02/2018 22:11

I self-identify as God - all of them. My Word is your command. I rule the world and everything in it. If you try to deny my divinity, you are a vile apostate and heretic and it is my right - my right I say - to smite you with a thunderbolt or anything else handy.

I identify as Smurf and I'm tiny blue and cool. If you don't recognise my choice you are a SMERF

BrunoJenkinsProblem · 08/02/2018 22:17

I self identify as a 26 year old. I’m actually 41 but I pass for a bit younger, and most importantly I feel younger. If I put on shit loads of make up I look a bit younger too. Give me a facelift and a I’d look even younger.

I am 26 and I demand surgery to make the outer me match the inner me.

Lovelyusername · 08/02/2018 22:18

Well ok £1.50 isn’t great. I meant £150k. For one book, not three.
That’s good enough for my self identifying self
