OK, I'm a man now. Join me?

[AssignedPerfectAtBirth]

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?

Dustin Tran here

Since transitioning just now I feel an incredible need to draw a cock and balls everywhere.

I think I'm rediscovering the teenage years I lost - maybe I can also have my lost boyhood. I'm off to climb a tree.

A friend with the cis age in their 60s has refused to be oppressed by the cis-hetero-geronto-patriarchy and declares their age to be 27 as their cis-age sucks and their trans-age encapsulates who they really are and how they feel in their DNA and how they engage with others

Will this stop my ankles and knees aching and cracking and my estrogen depleted skin from itching like fuckery? If so, I'm in.

Before I transitioned, I had that. The itchiness. The GP had never heard of it and the web was a veritable Tumbleweed of Silence on the matter. Awful.

Now I'm a man of course, I couldn't care less. You're probably making a lot of fuss about nothing. And if you're talking itchiness, you should've seen the mosquito bite I had on my leg a week last Thursday.

Actually I was too busy admiring my DPs midge bites ... The ones he got because he was too manly to spray on deterrent and then take anti-histaimines.

I'm on the wrong side of the fence here aren't I?

Hi Guys Jimmy here horrific experience on way to work this morning.A small minded bigot cis male called me Madam,then had the cheek to guffaw loudly when I told him I was a man.
I had black trousers,a white shirt,black jacket and loafers on
and a highly cool man bun.
The jacket was even crumpled obviously I am a bloke.
The insult was so heinous after work I am going to the boozer.I won't text or gay DH will want me to come home.

I'm woefully slow at asserting my male name - I am not to be known as Mr/s Kristofer Scruggs. I refuse to have a Mr or Ms title as this is limiting and abusive

Sorry - I AM NOW Kristofer Scruggs but not Mr or Ms

BossyBitch
Right on with the shouting at work, show them who is boss innit.

The thing about this manlyness is that we are now free to release our "inner bully". No more people pleasing, keeping the peace, or walking on eggshells for us!

Go right ahead and have a bit of fun mate, who could blame you?
Which reminds me, don't forget to produce a document detailing all your OH's faults and failings, six or seven pages should be enough. Give it to Him Indoors just before you swan off to the pub for the night.

I'm not sure MNHQ would agree to put this in classics even tho it's brilliant. women people pointing out the neverland nonsense of some trans thinking? Not quite the done thing.

Marquis, and how right you are, Your Lordship!

Having said that, we obviously all deserve a knighthood (at the very least!!!) for our invaluable services to masculinity and, therefore, the realm! 🎖

I'm definitely a man:

• I earn 30% more than DP
• I have a science degree (chemistry, which is much more manly than DP's biochemistry degree)
• I already use Dr as a title (or Mr if Dr isn't an option)
• I wear flat shoes and no make-up at work
• I pay a cleaner to sort out the housework (clearly it is DP's job to instruct the cleaner - I've done the important manly paying bit)
• I just assume that the DC will sort themselves out with regards to homework, and other school stuff
• The washing up is DP's job (I move the dirty stuff into the kitchen 'cos I'm nice like that)
• I expect DP to take time off or WFH to deal with the DC's medical appointments (I'm much too important and senior to do that sort of thing)
• DP also does the food shop and the cooking and deals with packed lunches for the DC.

Now I've realised that I'm
A Man, I'll have to work out if I need to modulate my behaviour accordingly. Any suggestions?

Olenna, great point there! I hadn't thought of that. Won't it be marvellous when the stats reflect our expectations, budgets will be spent more appropriately, and the prison services will have much more meaningful data with which to plan their rehabilitation programs etc.

We are changing the world just by saying we want it, just like CIS men have done before us. I feel empowered.

Evening fellas! Sir Butch Grizzly here. I'm hoping you lads can give me some advice!

My old lady is throwing a right strop ever since I've declared my manliness to her. I've told her that from now on I expect her to do all my laundry, cooking, and ironing once she gets in from work. She's refusing on the grounds that I'm 'old enough to do it myself'! The cheek. I think she's just being transphobic. She's always treated me as a girl, I think she secretly wanted a daughter, not a son, and this is how she's showing her disappointment!

Anyway, how can I put the old cow in her rightful place?

Anyone wants to join me in Fathers 4 Justice?
I want to make sure DS's other parent pays maintenance.

I'm also bleeding quite heavily from my manly parts. And have abdominal pain. AIBU to to to A&E and take the week off?

Lweji Either do that, or rub in some dirt, walk it off and wait til gangrene sets in.

Anyone wants to join me in Fathers 4 Justice?

I'm in but I have no kids? Then again: trans parents are parents, I suppose!

Bossy, ah but are you sure? Some random bird that you banged in your yoof might just have not told you and be waiting to randomly sue you for costs when they reach adulthood. You know, they're all like that, aren't they.

Best join F4J just in case.

Bossy don't let anyone put you off. If you identify as a father then you should definitely join kids or not. It's your right.

Evening fellow chaps - Vernon Goodman here. Love my new super manly name. I do make a very good man - for example, i refuse to iron, ever. And my DM (or DF if she so chooses) tells me i cried when she made me wear a dress for my first day of school. I was oppressed from an early age! I also love my uber manly mulva, mangina and moobs. Being a rampantly heterosexual man, i'm off to bed for a hearty sex-session with these lovely body parts. Cheerio lads, see you down the pub.

OI OI!

Who's up for a cheeky pint?

OLenna - you are a genius. I vote for you to be Secretary of state for Health, where you can promote the needs and concerns of men over those of women . Oh no wait......

Can I ask you other men how your Newly Gay Husbands and Newly Straight Wives are taking this ? I trust they are celebrating your bravery in throwing off the shackles of cis hegemony.

september I would love to victimise your elderly nana, I find that bullying people into agreeing I am an oppressed victim is empowering. And besides, as a real hard ass man I find abusing vulnerable women proves my masculinity, mans man and all that good stuff.

I experienced traumatic discrimination today. Couldn't find parking for ages in the town centre, until I remembered the centrally located bus station. I'd only just finished parking my car at a manly angle and walked off the required distance so I could impress the birds with my central locking, when the privileged driver of a cis bus told me that I couldn't park there, and that she didn't care if my car identified as a bus because it wasn't a real one. I felt so powerless, there she was telling me my car wasn't a real bus, and as a poor victim I felt so powerless offering my feeble defence of violent threats and a hate campaign.

Kr1s - I'm setting my sights on PM, actually. It's no job for a woman after all, and I have been clipping my own wings in the past by only applying for jobs for which I am suitable, so I may as well throw my hat in the ring when the vacancy comes up, eh?

My newly gay DH told me I was being ridiculous My fists trembled and I felt my sense of self deflate
