I am self identifying as a horse. I am now free to prance wherever I like and you need to make way for me whilst making oooh and aaah appreciative noises at my prancing and mane tossing skills. Neigh! 🐎 Smile

When I was 17 I self identified as a 15 year old in order to get cheaper fares but was caught and fined. Violence!

It's traditional for HGV drivers to self identify as 19yo Czech lesbians, but the courts take a dim view of that sort of thing.

No, I shall self-identity as Eeyore. I need never take off my "resting bastard face" again.

Love your post! The analogy is spot on!

StarsAndWater · 09/02/2018 19:59

I, too, will be self-identifying as a very, very rich person and if the bank refuses recognise the millions of pounds that I have in my account as a rich person, then I will obviously sue them for being richphobic, and for hurting me with actual violence by insinuating that I'm actually poor. Bigots.

I'm self identifying as a disabled athlete. Despite being able bodied I intend to win many gold medals. I've always "felt" like I have limbs missing, so despite still having all four intact I assert my rights to compete as I see fit. If you dare point out my obvious able-bodied nature I shall scream bigot at you and acuse you of actual physical violence against me. You cis disabled athletes don't realise how bloody lucky you are with all your inherent disabled privilege!!!!

I self identify as a ball because it's all pointless

My daughter is only 20 months and she seems to be self identifying as a cat. Actually she’s declaring a lot of furry animals to be cats as well.

“I'm self identifying as one of those very intelligent and attractive women who are on history documentaries these days. It's my ideal job but I never knew it was a career option

Didn't LeQueen do that?

Today, I identified as my manager and sat in her office drinking coffee at her desk.

“Wtf do you think you’re doing chicken, get back to work” was her response.

My managerial feelz are hurted now and I think I need to raise a grievance as I have been violenced against and it is literal.

Efferlunt · 09/02/2018 23:44

I’m self identifying as Scottish. I’ve never actually been there or know anything about it’s history so all my understanding of what it involves is basically massive stereotypes like tartan and red hair and going ‘see you jimmy..’

But it is my right to dress in full highland dress and a red wig and wander around town with what I think is a Scottish accent. Should any Scottish people take offence at this it will be because they are bigots.

ChickenPaws · 09/02/2018 23:53

That’s hilarious Efferlunt

😂

S0ph1a · 10/02/2018 00:25

Indeed efferlunt but you I’ll be more of a Scot than they will ever be, because you will have a Scottish brain whereas they were just assigned Scottishness at birth.

gingergenius · 10/02/2018 07:32

Genius thread. Any TRAs that start harping on about the female penis et al need to read this!!!

Efferlunt 😂😂😂😂

I now have a fantastic image of Russ Abbott circa 1983 singing "See yooouuu, Jimmmeee, see yooouuu Jimmmeee......"

I've decided to self-identify as my teenage DS. Which means I get to lie in bed all day and surface only for snacks and meals which have miraculously appeared for me.

I'll join you. I seem to have convinced DH, who is making me a cup of tea. It seem only natural that the rest of the world will agree with me too.

Efferlunt · 10/02/2018 09:07

Quite S0hpia and Natalia My Scottish identity and experience are as authentic as any ‘cis’ Scot. Although I’d ask you not to talk about anything problematic, like much higher rates of coronary heart disease almongst Scottish people for example, because it upsets me that I can’t experience these because I was born in the wrong body.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 10/02/2018 09:09

I'm going to self identify as Danger Mouse.
Just coz.

Frusso · 10/02/2018 09:21

@Amoregentlemanlikemanner shouldn't you be identifying as really really good looking. Grin can you ambi-turn?

MadamMinacious · 10/02/2018 09:22

I see our cat club has gained traction, we can now vie for rights with the bird club as it is our right to pounce on them. Cat power 😺

Crocusqueen · 10/02/2018 10:01

Efferlunt I just want to say that I admire your bravery in coming out as Scottish SO MUCH. You look better in a kilt than cisScots, tee hee! Do you have a PayPal so I can contribute to your Irn Bru fund? You're an inspiration! I watched Outlander last night and it REMINDED ME OF YOU.

StarsAndWater · 10/02/2018 10:57

Is anyone else reminded of that white woman who self-identifies as black because 'race is a social construct'?
