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?

Thank fuck...I'm never picking up my jocks again.

Lovely.

I'm now called Wally Holloman and I've forgotten what bins are for.

New ironing board for the other half.

Its a lot easier to just put empty milk bottles and beer cans back in the fridge rather than all that rinse and rinse and recycle malarky, isn't it? Smile

imablackstarnotapopstar · 04/09/2017 23:16

Ok I have just identified myself as male. Shortly afterwards a letter was delivered to me addressed to "Mrs" imablackstarnotapopstar!!! This is transphobic and shall be reported! I know my rights!!

Ipsie · 04/09/2017 23:16

I've been male since age 5. Told everyone then I wanted to be a boy, often introduced myself as a boy and called myself Bob. Thank fuck I'm not 5 today!! As it now means I can insist on being a man while still being very much female. If I were 5 today by the time I was a teenager I'd be sporting a penis and minus me boobs!! And have facial hair! And be forced into a stereotype and defined. No thank you! I shall be male without any of that nonsense! I have short hair, do a 'mans' job and still have me bits I was born with. Happy days

I will only respond to Malcolm from now on. My woman name begins with M so my signature will stay the same, though I'd better replace my pink Bic lady biros with proper man pens.

imablackstarnotapopstar · 04/09/2017 23:18

Also if my children refuse to instantly accept my drawn on moustache and the socks down my pants to enhance my new penis or call me Mummy they shall also be reported as transphobic!

BossyBitch · 04/09/2017 23:26

I've just finally finished work for the day!

I'm by no means done with what I wanted to achieve today, but seeing as I'm a bloke I'm pretty sure I'll get promoted anyway:

I'm planning on letting my female colleagues pick up the slack and on taking credit for their contributions when they've delivered stellar results. I'm not even going to have to ask - as a man I was obviously the driver on this project!

If that doesn't work out fast enough, I'll take my boss to a strip club and bond with him over which of our female co-workers each of us would like to fuck. That should definitely do the trick!

I'm also advertising for a housekeeper 1st thing tomorrow. As a professional man I'm way too important to do my own dishes! Added bonus: if she's pretty maybe I'll seduce her. Everyone knows that it's physically impossible to be a sleazy creep if you're wearing a suit by Boss.

Hello ladies, Todd Ball here.

I've decided to read important things on the internet tonight rather than load the dishwasher and sort out school clothes, as I would have done when I was assigned female. Its so liberating being able to be my authentic self at last.

I'm also going to start all of my post on MN with " as a man " or "man here " and call all other posters " ladies " .

IrenetheQuaint · 04/09/2017 23:30

I have a moustache and love nothing better than a railway map. Plus I've just downed three pints and haven't cleaned the bathroom for months. Now I can identity as a man rather than as an indolent slattern with crap social skills!

Jaxhog · 04/09/2017 23:30

I love this thread!

errolthedragon · 04/09/2017 23:31

Glad to see you've not been tempted to change your NN, malcolm , because obviously the rights of women are very important to us men. More than the rights of mere cis men anyway.

Whoops... is that meant to be a secret?

Hello ladies, man here.

Can you please explain feminism and male privilege to me because I'm too lazy to Google . Dont you feminists want men like me on your side? In that case it's your job to educate me.

I'm off to watch the footie now and I look forward to reading your replies. Make sure you include links to relevant journals unless they are behind a pay wall, in which case please cut and paste for me.

Jaxhog · 04/09/2017 23:48

Virgil Sandoval here. Any advice for a new man?

badbadhusky · 04/09/2017 23:54

Hust checking in because I want to reserve Galen Wilhelm off that random name generator. It was #4 on the list, but my fave & I won't be able spell Isaias Esquivel (#1) reliably.

Look, I'd change to a man if I could be bothered, but I don't see why I should compromise or change for anyone else. If I just plough on as I please, everyone else can fit around my needs. On the upside, I can lay off scrubbing the other XYs' skids out of the bogs in my house.

DamsonGin · 05/09/2017 00:11

Right, call me Winston. Worried about one of the mums on the school run talking about doing some minor plumbing, might check if she's sure she knows what to do, more than happy to get it right first time for a cup of tea.

oneinfifty · 05/09/2017 00:25

I am now Geoffrey Dunstable

I wonder if any of you chaps can help me decide- should I tell my fa,ily and workplace that I am now a man?

On one hand, as a man I can now see that gender has no impact on pay/expectations etc at work or at home (this is all down to abilities and ambition). And also it is everyone else's job to notice me and look after my emotional needs really everyone should notice who I am.

On the other hand, it might be helpful for others to be told so that:

  1. They remind me of everything I need to do (or if it's dull just do it for me) and memorise where I have left things
  2. They are aware of how interesting and important I am so that they can pay be due attention
  3. The times when I leave work on time to collect my children from childcare can be given their true value as a contribution to the modern inclusive workplace and not just an excuse to slack off early
  4. My man-periods will be accepted as a medical issue (not a woman's issue as i am not a woman) so that there will be no VAT on the products I need to deal with them
  5. Family members will stop offering me 'useful' tips on how to prevent wrinkles/grey hair etc as I get older
ErrolTheDragon · 05/09/2017 00:36

Geoffrey - hm, how are you going to be presenting?

HollyBuckets · 05/09/2017 01:08

Brilliant thread!

I'm probably mostly a man already. I mean, I manage other men and tell them what to do. So I must be a man, because they wouldn't let a woman do that, would they?

ColinTheDachshund · 05/09/2017 01:20

They might if they were actually women.Confuseder, I meant woof woof yapConfused

(I'm not sure how identifying as a dog is going to work out, the family think the cis-canine is cuter, he's sooo privileged Sad)

SophoclesTheFox · 05/09/2017 05:06

Who's a good boy, Colin? Eh, who's a good boy!

Backingvocals · 05/09/2017 07:58

Totally brilliant thread fellas

Christopher Hitchens was bang on when he said women can't be funny. Proof in this thread which is classic man bantz. Ledge
